Harwood Child Psychology

"We cannot thank Josh and his team enough for the comprehensive assessment they undertook for our 9 year old son. The process was so straightforward from start to finish, with clear communication at all times, making it far less stressful for us all. The thorough report produced, and the recommendations made in it, have been critical to us finally getting the support in place our son requires - the fact that the assessments follow NICE guidelines was key to this. Josh and his team are incredibly supportive and built a great relationship with our son during his assessments. We would not hesitate in recommending this clinic to others. Thank you!"

"When my twin 8 year old saw Josh they were comfortable and relaxed during their sessions with him. Josh is an expert at his job, it was easy to work with him. The process from start to finish was simple and straightforward. The tips and suggestions he gave has been very helpful to my family. I would recommend him."

"Anonymous review from a parent working with Harwood Child Psychology, sent to Dr Harwood: I reached out to Josh as my husband and I wanted to understand how we could support our son more. We were feeling lost and just didn’t know what to do. A friend had highly recommended Josh which led to me contacting him. When we met with Josh, we immediately felt at ease because he really listened to us. There were no judgements - he just listened. He talked us through the assessment process and so we felt comfortable when making the decision for our son to be assessed for autism. When Josh met our son, he was engaging, warm and welcoming which meant that he felt at ease and comfortable during the assessment process. This was very important to us as we wanted our son to feel able to speak freely. Throughout the process, Josh answered all of our questions and we always felt able to contact him. The assessment led to our son being diagnosed with autism. As parents, we had a real mixture of emotions - shock, relief, sadness and feeling uncertain about the future. Josh was sensitive and understanding as he talked to us. As a result, we feel more confident to support our son moving forward. I would highly recommend Josh’s services. Thank you Josh for all your support."

"Josh worked with my 9-year old daughter (and myself) on habit reversal training, which was extremely effective and successful. He also provided further support for anxiety and challenging behaviour. Josh is patient, thoughtful, gentle and non-judgemental, and his insights and methods worked brilliantly well for our family."

"Our 9 year old son has had a number of sessions with Josh. He has been fantastic. So supportive and our son has gained more confidence. Josh has built a gorgeous relationship with our son and he really looks forward to hanging out with Josh each week. Josh has made him laugh as well as helped him to understand his emotions better. I highly recommend Josh Harwood. Thank you for all you have done."
