Therapy
All our patients are seen for therapy by a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist. We prefer to have the same therapist carry out both individual and family therapy. It enables issues raised in individual therapy to be addressed in family therapy should the child request help in raising the subject.

We also have group therapy sessions and our key nurses see the children at least once a week for an informal session.
The children are seen weekly for individual therapy and every two weeks for family therapy. The frequency of therapy sessions can be increased if it is thought to be beneficial. Dr Dawson, the medical director, sees the family for family counselling as necessary.
