We had Dr Holly help us and do an assessment on our Son. She was fantastic and a kind, understanding lady. Would recommend.
Our son had around 10 sessions with Dr Aisling. He was very reluctant at first as talking about feelings is not the easiest thing for him, but Dr Aisling managed to bond with him very well. We are super grateful for her incredible help and know who to call whenever we need someone to talk to in the future. Thank you to the whole Harwood-Team.
I was lucky enough to be connected to Dr Idil Kilinc when my 4 years old daughter struggled with her mental health after a hospitalisation. She was very professional, and kind and very compassionate. I can only recommend her! The whole clinic was professional- helpful , and extremely flexible.
Thank you for all your help and support at a hard time.
When navigating a new health issue for your child you need kindness, support and promptness. The clinic offered all these things and we are grateful
Over the past year, my 9-year-old daughter and I have both had the privilege of working with Dr. Maria, and we cannot thank her enough for the care, support, and guidance she has given us.
She has helped my daughter build her self-esteem and develop healthier ways of expressing herself, replacing negative attention-seeking behaviours with more positive coping strategies. The progress we’ve seen has been incredible.
Dr. Maria has also worked with me, teaching me practical tools to recognise early signs of emotional overwhelm and manage my emotions before they escalate. In addition, she has supported me through EMDR therapy to process past trauma, which has been a truly life-changing experience.
Dr. Maria is kind, compassionate, and incredibly understanding. She creates a safe, supportive environment where you feel listened to without judgment. Her empathy, professionalism, and genuine commitment to helping others shine through in every session.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Maria to anyone looking for a skilled and caring therapist.
Did not work for our son with OCD. After about 15 sessions at £195 a go he still didn’t understand what anxiety is. He does not fully understand the strategies needed to help him and we are back to square one with him screaming because he can’t cope. Yes his therapist was kind but I don’t think he was pushed out of his comfort zone to get on board with standing up to the OCD so for that reason I wouldn’t recommend for children with OCD.

I am really sorry to hear this. I don’t know exactly who you are as this is anonymous, but please do reach out to office@harwoodchildpsychology.co.uk to discuss further.
Naturally therapy can’t work for everyone, but all of our clinicians are highly skilled and competent so I am wondering what happened here. We would never leave a family without an ongoing support plan, even if we weren’t making progress ourselves, so I am sorry if you felt unsupported.
We will always work hard to support children with OCD, so I am sorry you didn’t experience the usual benefits.
Let us know if we can help with anything else.

Our experience with Harwood, and specifically with Jodi Gomez, Senior Educational Psychologist, was reassuring, smooth, and straightforward from start to finish.
The entire process was easy to navigate. As parents, you may have already been through a lot before seeking an Educational Psychologist assessment, or you may be returning to the process with a new EP. Harwood made everything clear and manageable.
The report was comprehensive, child-focused, and demonstrated a deep understanding of our child's needs and our concerns as parents. It provided valuable insight into both current and future educational requirements, offered guidance on appropriate educational settings, and added significant weight and clarity to our child's EHCP.
Harwood was professional, polite, and efficient throughout. Jodi Gomez was warm, understanding, and highly knowledgeable. She provided helpful feedback, practical guidance, and took the time to ensure we felt supported throughout the process.
We are now on the path to securing the tailored, specific support our child needs to thrive.
Thank you, Jodi, and the team at Harwood.
Exceptional!
Harwood was recommended by a friend as our local NHS waiting time was over 3 years. We found all staff to be compassionate, professional and supportive throughout the process and looked forward to our appointments.
Queries were always answered quickly and extra support was given when needed. Thank you to you all!
I was on the waiting list for a diagnosis for my daughter with the NHS but the process was taking too long. I chose hardwoods as a recommendation from a family member. From start to end the support was unprecedented. All the appointments were easy to get to and find. They were accommodating to her needs and ours. Even after the diagnosis there is so much support that can be accessed which you don’t always get. All the staff who we encountered were very professional and relaxed which made the whole experience as smooth as possible.
Dr Kiran has been an incredible support to me as my family and I work on a very personal and at times challenging journey - she has made what could have been a difficult and stressful process, easier and more human, approaching difficult topics with compassion, and empathy and always being highly professional and sharing valuable insight and offering ideas and solutions that are tailored to work for me and my family. I could not recommend her highly enough.
Harwood Child Psychology made the process for ADHD evaluation for my son very easy. I was impressed with the depth of the report and the information provided however it did take a while to have a post-diagnosis consultation.
After diagnosis, Dr Maria helped my son to start to develop strategies for managing his ADHD that were age appropriate.
Very Impressed
We are so grateful for the excellent support and understanding from Harwoods. A special thanks to Dr Felix and Lana. The follow up report was excellent and will definitely support and help our Lacey moving forward.
Would highly recommend.
Thank you.
The Sutton family.

We had a very positive experience with Harwood Child Psychology for our thirteen year old girl. On our first call, my wife spent over an hour chatting with one of their team to try and find the psychologist best suited for the help required. No money taken. No commitment needed. And Dr Sophie was so kind and over a number of sessions, managed to allay anxieties and get our girl back to school. We are very grateful for the expert help provided. And for a very reasonable cost. Thank you.
We've been extremely grateful for the wonderful team at Harwood - they've been incredibly patient, thorough and empathetic with their review and diagnosis. We are now at the start of our journey with our child as we work her diagnosis but at least we feel, both we and her school, have a guide that we can work with and most importantly a support network to call upon.
We’ve had a really positive experience with Harwood Child Psychology. Our son, has been attending therapy sessions with Dr Maria for support with his ASD and ADHD. Since starting, we’ve noticed a clear improvement in his behaviour, both at school and at home.
Dr Maria has been patient, understanding, and genuinely supportive throughout the process. She created a calm and welcoming environment that helped our son feel comfortable and engaged.
We’re very grateful for the care and guidance she has provided, and we would highly recommend Harwood Child Psychology to other families looking for support.
Harwood Child Psychology did an excellent job - they were thorough, fantastic communication throughout, and happy to answer questions. Thanks so much.
Having been repeatedly told by CAMHS that our daughter did not meet the criteria threshold to be seen by the NHS, we then started looking for private help. I got a few recommendations and approached a few companies - Harwood were the simplest, easiest and quickest people to get back to me. From our first consultation, both my daughter and I felt seen, heard and listened to in a way neither of us had experienced before. There was a sense of assured calm which took us away from the emotional storm we had been living in for years. It did not take long to be seen initially, and it did not take long to have the diagnostic appointments and to receive the report. From Mid November from first appointment, to receiving the report mid February. Every person we have met along the way with Harwood has treated us with kindness and consideration and we could not recommend this experience highly enough.
We are parents of a 12-year-old child with AuDHD. We found Harwood Therapy through a recommendation from our child’s school teacher.
As we had previously attended an ADHD parent course elsewhere, we initially booked only the ASD course. However, after a few sessions, we realised that Nadine’s approach was very different from any other course we had taken. We decided to add further sessions and switched to the AuDHD course.
Nadine carefully reads the reports and diagnostic assessments we submit and works with us to develop practical, tailored strategies specific to our child. She helps us explore the root causes of the challenges, understand how they show up in everyday situations, and clarify what we should be working on right now. We find her approach highly practical and efficient. I would especially recommend this programme to parents who have already heard general explanations or treatment approaches but are struggling to implement them effectively at home.
As these are individual sessions, the cost may feel high to some. However, the clearer you are about the challenges you’re facing, the more value you will gain from the programme
