Cardinal Clinic has family therapists who specialise in helping families overcome difficulties within the family unit.

The family therapist helps with every kind of family issue, for example:

  • Troubled teenagers
  • Help with new relationships
  • Helping children to deal with a parent’s divorce
  • Dealing with bereavement
  • Help for parents who have children with an issue such as eating disorders

Child Psychiatry

We have specialist Child Psychiatrists who are qualified to help with all aspects of psychiatry for children. You are welcome to come with your child for assessment and treatment and will be consulted throughout the treatment plan.

Our Child Psychiatrists see children of all ages, including babies and toddlers, for many different reasons, e.g. not feeding, disturbed sleep patterns, OCD, eating disorders, mood disorders and many more. If you are worried about your child, you are welcome to phone the Clinic and ask for advice. If necessary you can leave a message for one of the Child Psychiatrists.

Relatives’ Group

We have a dedicated group that runs on Mondays for relatives of patients at Cardinal Clinic. We understand the strains that are put on the families of sufferers. This is a good opportunity to get some information on how you can help at home and to speak with other relatives. For more information regarding times, please call us or speak to one of the nurses at the Clinic.
