Psychological Therapy Services for Children and Young People
Our aim at The Children’s Rooms is to provide children and young
people with the best psychological care possible, from highly specialised
and experienced psychologists/therapists.
All of our team have been specifically trained in helping children and young people and have many years’ experience of providing this for them. They share a love of what they do.
Watching your child or teenager struggling with difficult emotions is difficult for any parent. It can be daunting to think about them needing psychological help. At The Children’s Rooms we do our utmost to help parents access the most appropriate type of help for their child, as easily and quickly as possible.
The Problems We Deal With
The sorts of problems we deal with include anxiety and panic, depression and low mood, OCD, phobias, anger or bereavement. We also see children and young people with family or school or friendship problems, who are struggling with their gender or sexuality, or who have behavioural issues .
We have a specialist team of children's therapists who work with neurodivergent children and young people. We see many children who have been diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) , ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) or ADHD (Attention Deficity Hyperactivity Disorder) or a mixture of these. If you feel that your child may have one of these disorders, but they are not diagnosed, we are still able to help them.
We see children and young people with eating disorders. We have a team, including a dietitian, who specialise in this.
If your child has physical health problems, or chronic fatigue, we are able to help with the difficulties created by these disorders.

Contacting Us
If you would like to book an appointment please phone, text or email us. Please also contact us if you have any questions and are unsure of whether The Children’s Rooms is for you. Your enquiries will always be dealt with by a therapist who will advise you. She will answer any questions about The Children’s Rooms and find the most appropriate Psychologist/therapist for your child to see. We do our utmost to provide appointments out of school hours, including both evenings and weekends. How It Works
The first appointment with the Psychologist/therapist is an assessment where you will be asked about your child’s home and family circumstances, their developmental history, school and education, and whatever the current problems are. The purpose of this is to reach an understanding of the difficulties that you and your child are experiencing and to develop a plan to resolve them. You will be given an idea of the sort of treatment that will be offered and the number of sessions you may need. If your child is a teenager it may be that they wish to see the Psychologist/therapist alone; the Psychologist/therapist will discuss this with you.
The treatment may involve the Psychologist/therapist seeing the child alone, with you as parent/s, or as a family. The Psychologist/therapist will decide this depending on your child’s individual needs. Some parents come to see the Children's Rooms without the child ever attending. This is often the case with small children, but sometimes older children too. It may also be that your child is resistant to the idea of coming for therapy or that you simply feel that you would like the Psychologist/therapist to advise you on how to deal with your child’s difficulties.
We do our utmost to ensure that children feel comfortable and supported while they are at The Children’s Rooms and many report to us that they love coming to see their Psychologist/therapist.
We are providers for all of the health insurance companies.
