Helping you to understand how and why you act and feel the way you do.
Modern approach
Our approach is genuine, understanding, evidence-based and empowering. We need to understand all of the person, not just the diagnosis to support behaviour and learning. Understanding the person involves understanding other influences including their family and environment. We promote family/partner involvement and focus on attitudes and strategies that are specific to you and/or your child. It is essential for us that you receive personalised advice and support.
