If you are worried about your child or young person’s mental wellbeing, or have simply noticed that they have been anxious or quieter than usual, then we are here with the support your family needs.

At The Retreat Clinics we understand mental health, and we have a welcoming and supportive team of highly experienced therapists, counsellors, and psychologists who are here to help, and can tailor the therapy to the mental health needs of your child or young person.

We believe that every child and young person has the capacity to recover from the impact of challenging or negative life experiences; to grow, develop and achieve their full potential.

We understand that seeking therapy can be daunting and that taking the first step can be challenging. We have a team of trained experts who can work with you and your family to design a bespoke and flexible treatment that works best for you, which is available at our clinics in York, Manchester and online.

Parent-Child Therapy

If you and your child need extra support building and developing your relationship, Parent-Child therapy could be the help that you need. We can help you work together, interact, communicate and nurture your relationship.

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

We can offer child and adolescent psychiatric assessments. This can support the diagnosis of anxiety, trauma, difficulties relating to attachment, mood, behaviour, psychotic disorders, eating difficulties and developmental conditions including autism, ADHD and intellectual disabilities.

Neurodivergent Informed Therapy For Children and Young People

We recognize there is no ‘one size fits all’ – every neurodivergent person is unique, just as every neurotypical person is. There are many different types of therapy available in our service, and all can be adapted to be suitable, depending on your needs, and preference, and what you’d like to use therapy for.
