CBT is a structured therapeutic approach which involves undertaking activities together such as goal setting, problem solving, and trying out new skills and ways of thinking. In-between worksheets will be given to the child/young person such as a ‘thought diary’ and/or exercises that will help them practise the skills learnt within each session and also help them try out new ways of dealing with real life.
Difficulties we can support using ‘Cognitive Behavioural Therapy’ include:
Our CBT based support is provided by our Senior Assistant Psychologists who have undertaken further postgraduate training in Low Intensity Psychological Therapies and are qualified to work as Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners. They have specialist interests in CBT and have extensive experience supporting autistic young people and adult using approaches adapted from CBT principles.
Our Focus: Tailored Therapy for Neurodivergent Individuals
To provide the most effective and specialised support, we exclusively offer therapy to clients who have a diagnosis of ADHD and/or autism. Many therapy services are designed for a broad audience. We recognised a need for a more focused approach. Our service is dedicated to bridging that gap by providing therapeutic strategies and support specifically tailored to the experiences of neurodivergent individuals. This specialisation allows our therapists to have a deep understanding of your unique strengths and challenges.

Difficulties we can support using Psychological Support for Low Mood and Anxiety:
This support is provided by our Assistant Psychologists, under supervision, who have extensive experience supporting autistic young people and who have undertaken further professional development around psychological support for low mood and anxiety.
An Initial Consultation is recommended as a starting point before therapy commences. This consultation helps the clinician to explore the main difficulty you would like us to support at this time, as well as conducting a risk assessment, and an agreement on the most appropriate psychological therapy (CBT Based Support or Psychological Support for Low Mood and Anxiety).
Following your Initial Consultation you can either book individual therapy sessions of CBT Based Support or Psychological Support for Low Mood and Anxiety, or below we explain or block booking options.
Following your Initial Consultation you may choose to block book CBT Based Support or Psychological Support for Low Mood and Anxiety sessions.
The difference between block therapy and individual therapy is reflected in the pricing of sessions and not in the type of therapy delivered or the content of sessions. It is important to note that if you block book therapy it is not to say that the difficulty you are focusing on in therapy will have improved significantly by the end of the first block (it may be that another block or individual sessions are needed following this).

No. Unfortunately at this time we are only able to provide Therapy between the hours of 9:00 and 16:00.
This is reviewed on a client by client basis, but we are happy to liaise with our colleagues in Education.
We require a minimum of 2 working days notice of any changes to be agreed. Less than 2 working days notice will mean a cancellation charge of 50% of your booking fee paid.
Cancellation on the day of your booking would incur a 100% cancellation charge.
Should Help for Psychology need to cancel your appointment due to unforeseen reasons, then you will receive a 100% refund on the appointment we can’t provide, unless a suitable alternative booking date is supplied and agreed for your sessions.
We are currently booking clients in for Initial Consultations six-eight weeks after they have made an initial enquiry to our therapy enquiries email.
It varies from person to person. Some people find six sessions helpful and others find they are still benefiting from Therapy after several months. We are happy to be flexible and work around each individual client.
