At HSR Psychology we ensure that we meet the needs of children and young people. To achieve this we ensure that any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work, is only carried out following an initial discussion.
An initial discussion allows us to understand the background and your expectations of our involvement. Having an initial discussion ensures any services we provide appropriately identify or address needs.
Our process for any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work is as follows:
Children and young people who have been adopted can have a broad range of needs related to:
Children and young people who have been adopted may have multiple needs including those that might share certain characteristics with other disorders or conditions, which is why ensuring to carry out an assessment that is holistic is important. A holistic assessment takes the child or young person’s life experiences and family history into account. When assessing children and young people who have been adopted it is important that we have information about the child or young person’s background, although we understand that this information may be incomplete. Children and young people who have been adopted are assessed through a mixture of structured observations, assessments, clinical interviews and questionnaires. Assessments may take place over a number of sessions and in various locations to gain a holistic and detailed understanding of needs.
Following an assessment of children and young people who have been adopted, a member of our team will share the findings with you and other relevant parties. A comprehensive report will be provided following the assessment. If an intervention, consultation or training on the child’s needs is required then we can arrange this. The information provided following an assessment can be life changing which is why we offer follow-up support to the child, young person and parents.
Our specialist team offer a variety of interventions for needs related to adoption. We work closely with adoptive families to provide the best quality care.
Our team can also provide specialist assessments and therapeutic interventions funded by the Adoption Support Fund. If you are interested in Adoption Support Fund services then please speak with your child’s social worker. Examples of the interventions we offer include:
Our interventions, and their structure, will be bespoke according to the child and family’s specific needs and background. We recommend starting an intervention as soon as possible following the identification of needs related to early life experiences and the adoption process.
Arrange an Initial Discussion to find out how we can help. The initial discussion lasts 1-1.5 hours, comes with a written recommendation summary and is a starting point to identify needs. The cost is £300.

Adoption can impact every area of an individual’s life but early needs identification and subsequent support can maximise an individual’s potential. Needs related to adoption are often caused following a traumatic or disruptive early childhood. To book an Initial Discussion for needs related to adoption then please contact us to get in touch with a member of our team.
