Comprehensive  therapeutic clinical assessment - GP Referrals

An individual assessment with Dr. Hedderman is much more than a one-off appointment.  Typically an assessment includes:

  • At least three appointments involving meetings with parents and the young person both together and separately.
     

  • Review of any relevant professional reports, and liaison with involved parties as appropriate.
     

  • Collaborative work with the family to produce an understanding of the young person's current difficulties.
     

  • Planning the intervention/treatment pathway for the young person.
     

  • Provision of detailed report.
     

  • Further psychoeducation and medication (if needed) can be provided by Dr. Hedderman.
     

  • Psychotherapy is not provided but Dr. Hedderman can provide recommendations in this regard
