About the Practice
When a young person’s story is spread across social care, school and mental health meetings, families need the psychology to make sense of the whole system. McLaughlin Psychological Services Leeds supports Leeds families with child and adolescent emotional health, parent stress, school pressure and psychological questions that need more than guesswork. The aim is to turn distress into a clearer formulation, a safer plan and language parents can use with school, home and the wider support network.

Why Work With Us?
Clinical and Forensic Psychology: Parents get a clearer, safer route by seeing the professional role, registration route and clinical scope before trusting someone with their child’s mental health.

Complex Formulation: Support looks beneath behaviour, avoidance or shutdown so the family can understand what the child is communicating.

Practical Family Support: Support can turn scattered concerns into a clearer account of risk, need and the support adults should provide.
