    Why London needs local child therapy pages

    London families often need child therapy support while juggling borough referral routes, long CAMHS waits, school pressure, transport across the city and the extra strain of finding someone who understands SEND.

    The right fit is not just the therapy type. Parents also need to know whether the child can actually get there, whether the therapist understands the school context, and whether the route is private, charity-based, school-based or NHS-linked.

    Choose by local pressure

    • ✓ Home borough and school location
    • ✓ Tube, bus and after-school travel time
    • ✓ Anxiety, trauma, grief or school refusal
    • ✓ Autism, ADHD, masking or sensory overwhelm
    • ✓ Parent support and school communication

    Common questions about child therapy in London

    Why split London into four child therapy areas?

    Greater London is too large for one useful local page. North, West, South and East London families face different travel patterns, borough services, school pressures and community routes.

    Do the London area pages link to each other?

    No. The Greater London page is the central route. The four area pages stand alone so families can choose the right local area from the hub.

    What should parents check before booking child therapy?

    Check child-specific training, DBS and safeguarding, professional membership, age range, parent involvement, school communication and whether urgent risk needs NHS or crisis support instead.
