CAYP Psychology - Gosforth

• What they offer / teach

  CAYP Psychology is an independent, clinical psychology-led service offering psychological therapies and assessments for children, adolescents and young people and their families, including NICE-compliant autism and ADHD assessments, developmental assessments for infants/toddlers/pre-schoolers, and assessments of intellectual and learning abilities (including dyslexia, dyscalculia, giftedness and learning disabilities). They also provide early years and parenting support (one-to-one or group support for attachment and bonding) and an ADHD medication service with a specialist prescribing pharmacist. Appointments are available at 40 nationwide clinics and online, and reports can contribute to EHCPs.

• Ages served

  The service is for children, adolescents and young people from newborn to 18 years, or up to 25 years for autism assessments. Autism and ADHD assessments are stated to be for those aged 6 to 25 years, while developmental assessments cover infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers.

• Approach

  They describe their work as effective, evidence-based and professional, approved by NICE guidelines, and delivered by clinical psychologists, speech and language therapists, counselling psychologists and pharmacists regulated by the HCPC and GPhC (with team members in the ACP, BPS and BABCP). They only offer assessments where there is clinical justification and only give a diagnosis where there is sufficient evidence, aiming to communicate clearly and prioritise children's wellbeing. Their two core values are providing the most effective, professional and timely psychological support and supporting their team to achieve the best outcomes for young people and families.
