About the Practice
When a child in Derry/Londonderry is no longer coping at home or school, parents need the right clinical route, not another round of guessing. Western Trust CAMHS Derry/Londonderry supports Derry/Londonderry families with play-based and counselling-style emotional wellbeing support for children who need more than another conversation at the kitchen table. The focus is safer expression, stronger connection and practical understanding for the adults around the child.

Why Work With Us?
Derry/Londonderry CAMHS Pathway: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.

Assessment Therapy and Family Work: Play, creative work and counselling-style support help children communicate through action, story, art, movement and relationship when direct questions only make them close down.

Parent and School Connection: The pathway can connect mental health, family context and school pressure where the child’s needs are too complex for ordinary counselling alone.
