Clinical Psychology
Head of Therapy/ Clinical Psychologist
Name: Dr Steve Grant Mon-Fri
What might a Clinical Psychologist do? The starting point is always assessment of needs, which might include meeting the child and talking with them, depending on how old they are or where their verbal skills are at, reviewing key information and documents. We would also want to talk to the people around the child who know them well - usually key staff, parents/carers and other professionals to hear about how the child is doing. It's all about helping us build up a picture of that child, what the difficulties are and where and how they present themselves. Once we have a good understanding of what we think is going on, we can begin to think about the kind of treatment that needs to happen. This could be either: • Individually with the child – the clinical psychologist meeting on a one-to-one basis with the child, doing some therapy (possibly by talking or more creatively) • Involving other people – maybe sessions involving other people as well in doing what we call systemic (group) sessions looking at the whole system Based on what the assessment tells us we think about what interventions we might offer
