Mental Health Therapy for Children & Young People

At Shore Psychology, many of our clinicians are also parents and so we understand how worrying it is when children are struggling with their mental health.  We recognise the importance of getting mental health therapy for children & young people as quickly as possible.

Our services range from the perinatal period right through to young people transitioning into adulthood, and all the stages between. We have a group of highly skilled clinicians offering a wide range of evidence-based treatment options, ensuring the help you receive is holistic and tailored to the needs of your child and your family.

Neurodiversity Assessments for Children & Young People

We understand that life can sometimes be overwhelming for all children and young people, but this is especially the case for neurodivergent children and young people. Difficulties maintaining attention, with communication, in relationships or sensory difficulties can make everyday experiences feel really challenging. We have experts who can help you and your child make sense of these experiences to understand if they are occurring in the context of autism or ADHD.  At Shore Psychology , all of our assessments are gold-standard, are carried out by highly skilled and experienced clinicians and meet NICE guidelines, meaning they can be trusted.

Please get in touch if you are interested in finding out more about Child Autism Assessments at Shore Psychology.  

We are currently finalising our Child and Young person ADHD pathway. To be kept informed about the development of this pathway, please sign up to our mailing list. Once this pathway is finalised, we will also offer a combined ASD and ADHD assessment for Children and Young people.

Not sure what Treatment You Need?

We understand that it can often be challenging to work out what kind of support might be best for your child.  That is why we offer a free, 15 minute consultation call with one of our Senior Clinical Psychologists to discuss your child’s difficulties and help to decide what type of support would be best.  We can then match you to a clinician who would be best suited to work with you and your child.  If you would like to arrange this, you can contact us on 0131 378 9700 or by emailing hello@shorepsychology.co.uk
