Welcome
Welcome to Bristol Child Psychology Practice. We are a group of Clinical Psychologists based around the Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset area who specialise in working with children, teenagers and families. We offer psychological assessment and therapy to children, teenagers and students (up to the age of 25). We also offer supervision, training and consultation to other professionals.
If you have a child who is struggling with their emotions or behaviours, Bristol Child Psychology Practice is here to help. Many children and young people struggle with their emotions and behaviours at some point in their childhood, and this is understandably distressing for both the child and their families. Clinical Psychologists are highly trained clinicians who offer assessments and therapy to help and support children, young people and their families to overcome their difficulties. All the Clinical Psychologists with the Bristol Child Psychology Practice have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and have extensive experience of working in the NHS.

How we work
We will first offer an assessment appointment where we will listen to your concerns. We will then explore with you what further help and support we would recommend. This may then include one or more of the following:
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT)
EMDR
Narrative therapy
Solution focused therapy
Parenting work
Family work
We can work one to one, with just parents and carers or with the whole family, depending on what you feel is helpful and the outcome of our assessment.
Clinical psychologists use the NICE guidance (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) to inform their clinical practice.
We understand that coming to see a Clinical Psychologist can be daunting and can take courage but the Clinical Psychologists at Bristol Child Psychology Practice are highly skilled at working alongside children and families. Confidentiality, respect and sensitivity underpin all of our work.
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer an emergency service or crisis appointments and in that instance, we would recommend you arrange an urgent appointment with your child’s GP.
