behavioural psychologists (sussex)

clairey

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong section, wasn't quite sure where to put it!

Due to lack of interest from community paeds/CAMHS we've ended up going down the private route with our 8 year old who has HFA

He suffers from anxiety/stress/anger issues and has lately started saying that he wishes he was dead, which I think is his way of telling us that he just can't cope with things right now and he wants to escape it. We're having major behaviour issues mainly at home but also creeping in at school too (where previously he has been "a delight" to teach!!)

We saw Dr Blincow (psych) at the Priory, who referred us to a behavioural psychologist closer to where we live but unfortunately she is giving up practicing! argh!

SOOO... what I really want to ask is whether anyone can recommend a good behavioural psychologist in the South-East (we're in W.Sussex but happy to travel)

thanks!

  • There are some therapists, and psychologists, that have a better undertsanding, but they are the few, and far between, ones that happen to have specialised in the study of autistic spectrum conditions.

    Clairey, though I'm not sure he'll be able to help you directly, look up David Moat (just Google his name and either of the top two hits are what you want) - I know he works at least near to the South-East (in Cambridge), and, if he can't help you himself, he may be able to point you in the right direction.
