ADHD, Autism and Mental Health - We offer high quality, evidence based assessment and intervention to children aged 0-18 and their families. We are based in Chichester, West Sussex and will see people across Sussex and surrounds. We provide flexible independent clinics to children, young people and their families, comprising assessment and tailored therapeutic interventions for a range of emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties. We also offer comprehensive assessment for Autism and ADHD recognised by the NHS and Education with no waiting list. Self funded, Insurance or Local Authority. We are not Right to Choose funded
The approach is based on personal needs and mutually identified goals. Home and school visits can be provided by arrangement and we offer consultation to other professionals and networks working with your child upon request. We can also work with wider family members if this is identified as helpful to your child. All work is collaborative and needs led.
It can be very daunting for children and families alike to seek help from a Psychologist. We aim to provide a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, free of judgement and jargon. We advocate early intervention and prevention so if you are worried about a child or young person, please do not hesitate to request an appointment. No issue is too small.

Clinical Psychologists are trained across models that integrate medical and therapeutic approaches. We offer far more than is listed here and often work in an integrated and tailored way that does not feel mechanical or manualised and is instead responsive and creative. Nothing is prescriptive or the intervention can evolve with need.
