Is this in any way related to your friend's kid who hit that boy at school? What happened with that, by the way?

[Timeh]

No, im just asking for a friend. The other incident was sorted in the end. A solicitor attended, the police were informal, no action was taken or blame attributed to the girl. A good result in the end. Cheers for asking

Is this something that a GP can do a referral for?

Is this something that a GP can do a referral for?

Probably but wanting purely private with no GP involvement

[jsg103]

There are a few routes camhs/Dr?

 

But for private:

 

Is it for assessment or therapy?

 

http://www.bps.org.uk This is the British psychological society

Or for therapy try bacp which is British association for counselling and psychotherapy

Or therapy bapt or ptuk for play therapy

Or ukcp psychotherapy lists

I recommend Maria at http://www.collinsdonnelly.co.uk/page.php?domain_name=collinsdonnelly.co.uk&viewpage=Profile

 

It's certainly worth reading her profile and that of Kate which is lower down the page to see the breadth of their experience. Maybe ask if you could have an initial chat with one of them. I've only known adults that have worked with Maria (and they had good results) so i'm recommending on this rather than direct knowledge of young people

Why would you not want a GP involvement?

if i were you i'd go through your Drs. then there is a secure paper trail & documentation. We tried a private psycologist mentioned on this thread & I definately would not recommend them for a child.
