Talking therapy for children and teenagers

There are no guarantees with psychotherapy or psychiatry. We work in this field because we have seen people achieve tremendous gains form this kind of work. That doesn't mean that we can guarantee that every person will be helped, but if what you need is something that we can help with then we will use the best available treatments to do our utmost to help.

• Initial talking therapy appointments: Between 50 and 90 minutes, depending on the appointment type

• Subsequent talking therapy appointment(s): 50 minutes

At Clinical Partners, we offer a wide number of services offering clinical assessments through to long-term treatment. The number of sessions depends on your child's personal situation and presenting issues. At the initial session your child's therapist will discuss their treatment plan.

Mental health services always seem to be pretty expensive, because they almost always involve focussed one to one time with someone with a high degree of training. We do our best to keep our fees as low as we can, so that you can afford the help you want for your child.

Yes, you can request that your child sees a particular therapist. We are happy to answer any queries you may have about a therapist and we are able to advise and recommend a therapist we believe will be most suited to your child’s needs.

We want you and your child to be in the driving seat when it comes to making decisions about what help we provide for your child. Our job is to help you in the way that you want to be helped. Some people just want to be told who to see and when, some people want to explore all the options and make their own decision. There is no right and wrong, and we are here to provide whatever you and your child need.

We truly understand the importance of finding the right therapist for your child as it will have a positive impact on their treatment – for this reason we will always try to recommend a specialist who we feel compliments your child’s situation and needs.

However, this is such a subjective area and it is possible that your child may not feel comfortable with a certain therapist. If at any point during your child’s treatment you would prefer them to see another therapist, please do call us and we can discuss the situation with you and find another professional if required.
