How to Access This Service

To access this service, you must:

  • Be under the age of 18

  • Have an enduring mental health difficulty

  • Have accessed community or school-based interventions in the past

We provide appointments in our clinic base, as well as homes, schools and other community settings.

We offer planned appointments in the evenings, so children and young people continue to engage in school. However, all new children and young people are first seen between 9 am and 4 pm.

We also offer telephone and video appointments for children, young people and their families.

We have several disabled parking bays outside of the clinic. Our clinic spaces are on the ground floor.
