Child & Adolescent
Psychotherapy
At Myndtherapy, we provide psychological therapy to Children & Adolescents and their families.
​
Parents are invited to attend with their child for an assessment within a week of their initial contact with Myndtherapy. During the assessment, the family will have an opportunity to let the Psychologist know about their child's difficulties, in a non-judgemental and confidential space. A shared understanding of difficulties is established and the Psychologist will collaboratively develop a treatment plan to best help the family. This may involve joint working with other professionals to best support the child.
​
Treatment sessions are weekly, at a convenient time slot for the child. We do offer early morning, evening and weekend appointments to work around school hours. Each session lasts 50 minutes.
During treatment, a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic skills will be drawn on to provide children and their families with strategies and tools to manage their difficulties.
​
Treatment length will vary depending on each patients presentation. The National Institute of Clinical Excellence, recommends on average 14-16 sessions of treatment for most depressive and anxiety disorders. Some patients, need less and some more.
​
During therapy, patients symptoms are reviewed regularly to ensure that they are making progress in overcoming their symptoms.
