Clinical Psychology, Woodfield Child Development Service

The clinical psychologists work alongside the paediatrician and other therapists in the team. This service is available to families with a GP in the North of Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster. Clinical Psychologists can offer assessment, advice and support to families when children are having some difficulties, or showing some differences, in their learning, communication, socialising, sensory processing or behaviour. Most of our work focuses on the assessment of children’s social communication to understand whether a diagnosis of autism might be a helpful way of understanding a child’s strengths, difficulties, needs, communication and social style.

We also offer individual/family support, group support, or consultations with school/nursery staff and other professionals for a range of concerns (e.g. behaviour, sleep, feeding and toileting). To speak to a clinical psychologist on this team you will need to be referred to the child development service for assessment.

It is important that we all work together to keep children and young people safe from harm.

If you believe a child is at risk of immediate harm please call the Police on 999

If you are worried that a child may be suffering, or may be at risk of harm you can refer to the Kensington and Chelsea social care team here.
