Dr Matt Woolgar is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Co-director of the Child Wellbeing Clinic in central London. Matt previously led the National Conduct Problems and Adoption & Fostering Clinics at the Maudsley Hospital in London where he worked for over 20 years. Matt is a nationally recognised expert in child behavioural problems, attachment and parenting as well as the mental health needs of adopted, fostered and care experienced children. Matt also led the Post Graduate training in Parenting for the Children & Young People’s Psychological Therapies programme in London and the South East at KCL for 15 years.
Matt is especially interested in the way in which child factors contribute to parenting challenges and how evidence-based approaches can be modified to take these into account. While standard evidence-based parenting programs work well for many families, research shows a failure to assess child factors can undermine their effectiveness for some families.
Matt offers individualised parenting interventions for child behavioural problems. He believes that assessment is central to effective intervention and also offers general mental health assessments, as well as autism, ADHD, cognitive (e.g., IQ and academic attainment) and neuropsychological assessments for children with or without behavioural problems
