THE CHILDREN'S PSYCHOLOGY HUB

From the Clinic to the Kitchen Table and Classroom...

Psychology shouldn't require a clinical budget. The Hub is a growing library of resources, workshops, and toolkits — designed by a clinician, built for real life. For parents at the kitchen table. For teachers in the classroom. For coaches on the pitch.

Talking Therapy for Children & Young People

02

FOR CHILDREN & TEENS

A safe, consistent space for your child — child-led, creative where needed, and always attentive to the whole child, not just the presenting problem.

THE PRACTICE

Clinical support for every child in your life

Sometimes a resource isn't enough. Sometimes what's needed is a safe space, a skilled ear, and someone who holds the whole picture in mind — not just the presenting problem, but the whole child and the whole world around them. Medical complexity and SEND always welcomed.

What a child carries, they shouldn't carry alone.

FOR FAMILIES

Family Coaching & Support

When something changes — for a child or for the whole family — the ripple effects can be bigger than anyone expected. Family coaching offers a structured, practical space to navigate specific life transitions and experiences together, building the understanding and tools to move through them well.

Services

OUT OF THE CLINIC

Psychology to children and teens

Not everything needs a clinic room. Some of the most powerful work happens outside — in a field, in a community hall, in a group of peers who recognise themselves in each other. Out of the Clinic brings evidence-based psychology into community settings, in formats that feel accessible, normalising, and genuinely enjoyable.

All groups and workshops are for children and young people.


Available face to face and online.

Where children are, psychology should be too."
