About the Practice
When a parent is trying to understand their own neurodivergence while supporting a child, adult assessment can change the family story. Dr Jessica Matcham Bournemouth supports Bournemouth 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?
Bournemouth HCPC Clinical 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.

Adult ND and Trauma Route: Support looks beneath behaviour, avoidance or shutdown so the family can understand what the child is communicating.

Practical Family Support: Support can help parents understand their own patterns and how that affects the support they offer at home.
