Who are we?
We are based in the South West of England on the border of Devon and Cornwall, UK, but we provide services nationally and internationally. Haven Clinical Psychology Practice was founded in 2011. We mainly provide rehabilitation and therapy to children, adolescents and young adults, although we can also offer some services for adults including adults who sustained brain injury in childhood. We provide expert witness evidence in civil and criminal cases where an accurate understanding of neuro-cognitive functioning and/or capacity is needed.
We can be instructed by anyone. We work and consult with parents and young people who would like help, schools, GP practices, social services, case management companies, courts and solicitors. We also provide staff training to care and support establishments and offer consultancy. We aim to provide some examples of the work we undertake on our site, but our services cover a wide-ranging and complex field. If you would like to discuss something with us, or would like to ask us a question please do not hesitate to contact us.

Alternative therapy
Some of the young people we support prefer alternative approaches to conventional therapy. Haven Wood forest school, bushcraft and wilderness therapies centre is set up to offer children opportunities to succeed in developing new socio-emotional and behavioural skills. At the centre we aim to provide the opportunity for the young people we work with to have positive experiences and genuine successes. If talking therapy is not the answer, then do visit the Haven Wood Website.
