Socrates clinicians offer comprehensive assessments of need and a variety of targeted therapies to children, adolescents, adults and families who are experiencing psychological and emotional difficulties. Socrates clinicians can offer assessment and therapeutic interventions with children, young people and adults, including individuals with learning difficulties and/or autistic spectrum disorders.
At Socrates, we have a team of clinicians who specialise in assessing and treating psychological trauma with both children and adults. Our clinicians are able to give appropriate diagnoses if required and an individualised understanding of a client's difficulties. Post-trauma difficulties can arise in people of all ages following exposure to highly distressing events.
We provide sensory integration assessments and occupational therapy in a sensory rich, playful, fun and supportive atmosphere. The theory of Sensory Integration comes from work developed by Dr A. Jean Ayres, PhD, OTR, an Occupational Therapist and Psychologist who worked in the United States of America.
Socrates offers direct speech and language therapy assessments and interventions to support children and young people to enhance and develop their language skills in a variety of areas.
