Start by checking the named clinician’s professional title and registration. A Clinical Psychologist should be HCPC registered, and a therapy service should be clear about who will see your child, what they can help with, and when urgent NHS or crisis routes are needed instead.

What can a child or clinical psychologist help with in Portsmouth?
A child or clinical psychologist can help with anxiety, school refusal, trauma, emotional regulation, low mood, parent-child stress, autism/ADHD-related support and school-facing formulation where offered.
Why does HCPC registration matter?
Clinical Psychologist, Counselling Psychologist and Practitioner Psychologist are protected titles. Check HCPC registration for the named clinician before booking.
Is private psychology the same as crisis support?
No. Private psychology is not emergency care. If there is immediate risk, use NHS 111, 999, A&E, CAMHS crisis support or local urgent mental health routes.
Can a Portsmouth psychologist help with school refusal?
Often, yes. Look for support that can understand anxiety, avoidance, trauma, neurodivergence and school pressure, then ask whether the provider can write letters or liaise with school.
