Child & Adolescent Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
We are pleased to confirm the introduction of a specialist Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) clinic for children and adolescents aged six years and above. Regular child and adolescent CBT clinics are held at our offices, with some limited home visits. Parents, teachers and other clinicians can make direct referrals by calling 01732 808 626 or by emailing appointments@thinkcbt.com.
Child and Adolescent CBT Services
We provide specialist child and adolescent CBT for anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, child phobias, Asperger’s and Autism Spectrum Disorder. We also work with avoidance behaviour and school refusal, as well as general emotional and behavioural problems.
Depending on the age of the child, we normally encourage the full involvement of the parent and we are able to undertake home visits for highly anxious children. The length of sessions are 50/60 minutes depending on concentration levels and sessions are normally held on a weekly basis to maintain progress. Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy is a short-term intervention and treatment typically lasts for 8-20 sessions, depending on the severity of the problem.
Child and Adolescent Online Assessments
The following assessments can be used as screening tools for children's psychological problems. The results can be downloaded as a report via email and shared with your GP or another psychological health professional. These assessments can be used by parents or teachers to provide an indication of potential psychological problems,however the assessments cannot be used to provide a definitive diagnosis without a full psychological assessment.
Our Child and Adolescent CBT Specialists
Child and Adolescent Therapist Credentials
Our CBT specialists are fully accredited by the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP), which means that they have demonstrated the gold standard in the practice of CBT in addition to specialist training in children’s psychotherapy. This sets us apart from other private CBT services and ensures that our client’s can trust in the professional expertise of the therapist.
Whilst there are a small number of individuals offering children’s counselling, we are the only specialist private CBT clinic for children and adolescents in West Kent.

As we operate on a commercially ethical basis, our services are typically 40% lower than other private CBT clinics and we work with all of the main UK insurance providers.
Our face to face CBT appointments are just £85 and there are no additional charges or hidden costs for parent / professional liaison.
Specialist CBT services for children and adolescents should only be delivered by qualified, BABCP accredited and experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists. We believe that we are the only private clinic in West Kent that provides this guarantee.
