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 in the family or any number of stress-inducing factors which can have an effect on family relationships.

Kinds of treatment offered

This is a wide-ranging service for anyone with a worry relating to their baby or young child, whether it is temporary or long standing, major or minor. We offer a variety of talking therapies.

How to access this service

We offer a wide range of services, catering to many different needs. To ensure that you access the right service we pass all enquiries through a central coordinator, who will ask you a few questions in order to pass you onto the most appropriate service. Please call our coordinator on 020 8938 2241.

Appointments can be arranged without delay, especially where a baby is concerned.
