How we work
First steps – what to expect
- We provide an initial assessments at Technopole, Portsmouth for all children and young people referred to Haven Child Psychology. We establish the child’s strengths and needs and co-create a shared understanding of how the needs developed, what is currently happening, what's been tried before and what might be contributing to the child’s ongoing needs. Where it is useful and welcome, we are child led and use creativity to engage children and young people. We then write a summary letter with recommendations. (see FAQs for more info).
- We offer multidisciplinary Autism and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder assessments which are NICE guidance compliant. (See tab on Specialist assessments)
- We offer cognitive assessments which are holistic and look at the child’s strengths and needs across home, school and the community. (See tab on Specialist assessments)
We offer the following therapies:
- Cognitive behavioural therapy
