What can a play therapist or child counsellor help with in West London?
They can support children with anxiety, school avoidance, emotional regulation, trauma, bereavement, low confidence, friendship stress, family change and neurodivergent overwhelm where therapy is appropriate.
Is play therapy the same as autism or ADHD assessment?
No. Play therapy and child counselling support emotional expression, regulation and relationships. Formal autism or ADHD diagnosis needs an appropriate assessment pathway.

Parents should check safeguarding arrangements, DBS status and professional membership such as PTUK, BAPT, BACP, UKCP or HCPC where relevant before booking child therapy.
Is child counselling suitable for crisis or immediate risk?
No. If there is immediate risk, use NHS 111, 999, A&E, CAMHS crisis support or local urgent mental health routes.
