Who this service is for

We see parents and babies or toddlers who are struggling with the ordinary problems of development: e.g. babies who cry, won't sleep or refuse to be weaned, as well as older toddlers who refuse to be toilet trained.

We also see families who are having a difficult time because of sibling rivalry, parental separation, bereavement or any number of stress-inducing factors which can have an effect on family relationships.

Why refer to this service

Infants need services tailored to their particular needs. This service is dedicated to the treatment of young children and their families, and is staffed by qualified therapists with experience and expertise in treating young children.

The service is staffed by a multi-disciplinary group with contributions from child and adolescent psychotherapy, psychology, social work and psychiatry. Our staff work closely together in order to make the most of different team members' skills and expertise.

Kinds of treatment offered

This is a broad spectrum service for anyone with troubles relating to their baby or toddler, whether it is temporary or long-standing, major or minor.
