About our therapies

High-quality psychological therapy and coaching for you.

If you’re concerned about your son’s emotions, behaviour, or learning, you’re not alone. Many families seek guidance for issues such as:

Anxiety, ADHD, or emotional regulation difficulties
Social struggles, aggression, or confidence challenges
School-related concerns, including learning and attention difficulties

Dr. Chris Garrod, a highly experienced clinical psychologist, specialises in working with boys and young men. His evidence-based approach focuses on practical, effective solutions tailored to your child’s unique needs.
