Conditions

Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty (SpLD) related to language. We offer screenings, assessments and interventions in relation to Dyslexia.

Dyscalculia

Dyscalculia is a specific learning difficulty (SpLD) related to mathematical concepts. We offer screenings, assessments and interventions in relation to Dyscalculia.

Dysgraphia

Dysgraphia is related to largely illegible handwriting for a variety of reasons. Our assessments and interventions target handwriting to identify and address needs.

Scotopic sensitivity syndrome

Scotopic sensitivity syndrome is also referred to as ‘visual stress’ and refers to self-reports of discomfort while reading. We offer assessments to identify needs in order to address them.

Learning difficulties

We assess non-specific learning difficulties to identify areas of need and support learning interventions.

Developmental delay

Developmental delay refers to children who are not developing physically, mentally or emotionally at the expected ages. We provide assessments and interventions to identify and address needs.

Self-harm

Self-harm includes self-injurious behaviours and is also known as non-suicidal self-injury. Our specialists offer a range of assessments and interventions to support children and young people.

Eating disorders

Eating disorders impact on an individual’s physical, mental and emotional health which is why we identify and address individual needs. Our assessments and interventions aim to improve the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people with eating disorders.

Social communication difficulties / autistic spectrum condition

We assess and provide interventions for children and young people with social communication difficulties and autistic spectrum conditions (ASC). Our assessments identify areas of need whilst our interventions address those needs.

Attention difficulties

Attention difficulties exist for a variety of reasons and may or may not indicate attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder (ADD/ADHD). We provide assessments and interventions to identify and address attention needs.

Sensory processing difficulties

Sensory processing difficulties includes sensory processing disorder, sensory differences and sensory integration difficulties. Our specialists carry out assessments to identify sensory needs and identify interventions.

Mental health difficulties

We provide specialist assessments and interventions to identify and address needs. Mental health difficulties can affect emotional, social and academic functioning.

Attachment difficulties

Attachment difficulties can impact on many areas of an individual’s life. Through identifying needs and addressing them our psychologists can reduce the impact of attachment difficulties on a child or young person’s life.

Adjustment difficulties

Adjustment difficulties are sometimes known as situational depression as they are caused by circumstances, including major life changes. Accurately assessing adjustment difficulties can lead to effective interventions being put in place to address individual needs.

Developmental co-ordination disorder

Developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD) may also be referred to as Dyspraxia. DCD affects co-ordination and can make children and young people appear clumsy. We provide assessments and interventions. When needs are identified they can then be appropriately addressed.

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health difficulty involving repeated intrusive thoughts along with an irresistible urge to carry out a specific action or ritual. We provide specialist interventions for OCD.

Trauma

Trauma can be caused by a single event or a sequence of events, and leads to a number of mental health challenges. Our specially trained psychologists provide therapeutic interventions to children and young people who have experienced trauma.

Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder

We identify and address needs identified with foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Our holistic approach provides an accurate representation of needs.

Phobias

Phobias are an anxiety disorder and can significantly impact an individual’s life. Phobias lead to irrational fears and can be eased through therapeutic interventions.

Hyperlexia

Hyperlexia can present in various ways and the most common is a strong, untaught ability to read alongside a fascination with letters.
