Signs a child or teenager may need support
Every child has difficult phases. It is worth talking to someone when a change lasts for weeks, or gets in the way of school, friendships or family life:
- Worries, fears or panic that stop them doing ordinary things
- Persistent sadness, irritability or withdrawal from friends
- Changes in sleep, eating or school performance
- Anger or behaviour that is hard to manage at home or at school
- Difficulty concentrating, sitting still or finishing tasks
- Exam stress, or anxiety about results and career choices
- Repetitive habits or rituals they feel they must do
If a child talks about not wanting to live, or you see signs of self-harm, seek help the same day — and in an emergency contact local emergency services (112 in India).
How we help
Support is matched to the child’s age and to what is going on — from a first assessment to therapy, testing, and work with the whole family. Sessions take place at our centre in Banjara Hills or online.
Therapy for children and teenagers
Talking and play-based therapies matched to the child’s age, for anxiety, low mood, behaviour, self-esteem and adjustment to change.
ADHD testing
A structured, easy-to-follow evaluation, a clear explanation of the results and what they mean for day-to-day life, and a calm discussion of next steps.
Psychological assessment
Standardised psychometric tests that help clarify what is going on before a plan is made.
Student mental health
Support for school, college and university students with stress, exams and change — including career counselling to explore strengths and plan next steps.
Family therapy
Sessions with parents and siblings for misunderstandings, repeated arguments, generational gaps and parent–child communication.
What happens when you book
Tell us what you are noticing
A parent or guardian usually makes the first contact, and can describe the concern before the child is seen.
Assessment
The psychologist meets your child, and you, to understand what is happening. Where it helps, this includes structured tests such as an ADHD evaluation.
A plan you understand
You get a clear explanation of what was found and what is recommended. Parents and caregivers are included in the work when that helps the child.

Book a sessionFrequently asked questions
Which age groups do your psychologists see?
Our psychologists work with children, teenagers and students at school, college and university. Each practitioner’s profile on our therapists page describes the concerns they work with; if you are unsure who to book, call us and describe what is happening.
Will I be involved in my child’s sessions?
Usually, yes. Parents and caregivers are included when it helps. Older teenagers often benefit from some time alone with the psychologist, who will explain at the start how information is shared with parents.
Do you do ADHD testing?
Yes. ADHD evaluations are structured and easy to follow. You receive a clear explanation of the results and what they mean for day-to-day life, and next steps are discussed so you know how to move forward.
What is the difference between a child psychologist and a child psychiatrist?
A psychologist assesses children and works through therapy and psychological testing. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can also prescribe medication. If medication might help, the psychologist will discuss whether a psychiatrist should be involved.
Can teenagers have sessions online?
Yes. Online sessions suit many teenagers, especially around school and college schedules, as long as they have a private place to talk.
My teenager does not want to come. What can we do?
That is common. A parent can book a session alone first to talk through what is happening and how to approach it, and many teenagers find it easier to agree once they know what a session is actually like.
