Clinical psychology supports children and young people with physical and mental health challenges through applying psychological theories, techniques and strategies. Our clinical psychologists bring their experience and knowledge from medical settings into our multidisciplinary service in order to provide education settings with a unique holistic service that maximises impact.
Clinical psychology aims to reduce psychological distress and to enhance and promote psychological wellbeing.
Clinical psychologists deal with a wide range of mental and physical health problems including addiction, anxiety, depression, learning difficulties, relationship issues, etc.
They may undertake a clinical assessment to investigate a clients' situation, utilising a variety of methods including psychometric tests, interviews and direct observation of behaviour.
