At The Tunbridge Wells Psychologist we have a specialist team of Clinical Psychologists dedicated to working with children, teenagers, and their families.

We understand that young people face unique emotional, social, and psychological challenges, and our experienced clinicians provide tailored support to help them navigate difficulties, and improve their well-being.

Psychological Support for Children & Teenagers

We recognise that neurodivergent children and young people may experience the world differently, and we tailor our approach to their unique strengths and needs.

This can include support for emotional regulation, anxiety, self-esteem, social relationships, and the challenges that can arise in education or daily life.

How we can help

  • Anxiety, phobias, and excessive worries

  • Low mood and depression

  • School-related stress, including exam anxiety and school refusal

  • Social difficulties, low self-esteem, and confidence issues

  • Emotional regulation difficulties, including overwhelm and frustration

  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress

  • Behavioural challenges

  • Family changes and transitions, such as parental separation or loss

  • The emotional impact of physical health conditions and chronic illness

  • Support for children with neurodiversity, including those with ADHD and autism

We offer evidence-based psychological therapy for a wide range of difficulties, including:

Supporting parents & families

When a child or teenager is experiencing difficulties, it can be challenging for the whole family.

We offer support not only for young people but also for parents and caregivers, providing guidance on how to navigate challenges and support their child’s emotional well-being.

Our approach

We use a range of evidence-based therapies, adapting our approach to suit each young person and their needs:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – helping to manage worries, fears, and low mood

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) – supporting self-acceptance and emotional regulation

  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) – an effective approach for trauma and distressing experiences

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – helping young people develop psychological flexibility and coping strategies

We aim to create a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where young people feel comfortable to express themselves. Sessions may involve talking therapy, creative activities, or practical strategies, depending on what works best for your child.
