CAYP Psychology

Superheroes without capesI couldn't rate Anna and her team any more highly, my family and myself have struggled for years with my sons asd just trying to cope and be diagnosed. Cayp made his diagnosis simple and supportive.Anna at cayp is simply the superhero of our story and our guide to our new bright future. I really couldn't recommend her enough or thank them enough, and I know given time and understanding my son will thank her and her team too

I can highly recommend CAYP and Alexandra Brown in particular. She has gone above and beyond in her work around the assessments for our son. She spent the time to discuss the assessments with us and to liaise with school and she was great with my son. A wonderful combination of warm and professional.

My Child has recently had an ASD assessment with CAYPS and I can't recommend them highly enough. Jenni and Anne were so kind, understanding and patient with Morgan. I felt they really listened to us and involved Morgan with every element of the assessment. We have had a really difficult few years with their mental health and they have struggled with many aspects of life including school, so I can't thank you enough for your help. Hopefully this will be the start of us getting some interventions in place so our child can finally start to reach their potential. Thanks again

I was interested in CAYP's services but was horrified to see the hateful things Dr Daniel Weisberg has endorsed, liked & shared on his Twitter account about both Palestinian people & the Islamic Community. Examples include the description of Palestine as a death cult"

I feel so lucky to have had the support of Karen Tinsley at CAYP during the autism assessment process for my son. From the first conversation we had, I felt 'seen' and it was reassuring to have someone who was so kind and made me feel like I wasn't over-reacting. Karen helped me to realise that we had actually already made significant adaptations to our family life to cope with the needs of our son and that there was indeed a reason for this and it was not simply a behavioural issue or him being 'stubborn' or 'wilful'. The process was handled sensitively, in a professional manner with all parties involved, and I would not hesitate to recommend Karen to anyone who needed help with an ASD assessment.

After a stressful and upsetting couple of months I found CAYP online and I'm so glad I did. Claudia and Roslyn were so nice with myself and my daughter they both made me feel at ease and helped me understand everything they were lovely and I'm so grateful for all that you both did I can't thank you enough. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who is considering its worth it to get some reassurance.

I highly recommend Dr Dan at CAYP. He is very warm and personable. We needed some guidance and advice as our 7 year old son with ASD and ADHD was having difficulties with learning.Dr Daniel undertook a cognitive assessment on our son. We were given a follow up meeting to go through the report and make sure we understood it and were happy.This report has been absolutely invaluable for helping school staff understand our son’s needs. It has actually helped provide him with more support at school. We can’t thank you enough.

I went to CAYP based on Google reviews. I contacted them about my son who has undiagnosed difficulties. I was told to fill out paperwork, send it off and then the appropriate assessment will be recommended.Dr Jardine said ASD assessment will be most appropriate. In this ASD assessment, ADHD and mental health screening is included.We had the assessment and received the final report. My son did not meet the criteria for an ASD assessment. Fair enough.Included in the report was the ADHD screening and mental health screening results.The ADHD screening said '****** does not meet the criteria for a diagnosis'.Two years down the line with no support in education and in health, I've had to fight to get my son help from the NHS based on them making judgements and presumptions based on my report from CAYP.We eventually got seen by the NHS to be told, my son DOES have ADHD.I've gone straight back to CAYP, explained what has happened. Daniel Weisburg, the owner of CAYP, admitted that it was an error to write that on my sons report about ADHD and at the time, they didn't have a psychiatrist working there to even diagnose ADHD and the staff that completed my sons screening, wasn't qualified to make that decision that my son 'did not meet criteria for ADHD diagnosis'.The response from the owner was basically an apology and admitted that it was an error.I asked for a reimbursement due to this error and was told no.Poor company that has failed us for 2 years and to spend your savings to help your child and actually become more hindered is unbelievable and unacceptable.Don't recommend and will let all the people I know with SEN children to avoid this company.I'm also making the HCPC aware of this.******Here is a copied and pasted part response from the owner :'We did not have a psychiatrist within our team at this time, and so any diagnosis of ADHD would have been rejected by CAMHS or other services. You also paid a total of £1800, which was the cost for an autism assessment at that time. That within the 'conclusion' section of that same page, Jenni and Lisa ended the paragraph with the phrase ***** does not meet the criteria for a diagnosis of ADHD". This is a very poor choice of words and it was wrong for this statement to appear. I can only apologise. It was wrong for two reasons.Firstly

Outstanding Support: If you are reading this review then you are probably looking for someone to help a loved one going through a tough time, while at the same time feeling worried yourself. Trust us we have been there! Our child was suffering with anxiety and nerves which were stopping him doing the things he loved the most. We started therapy sessions with Sophia and instantly found her to be understanding, knowledgeable, supportive and clearly passionate about what she does. Her hands on approach to getting to the route of any issues, coupled with a step by step action plan has really helped our child who has made great steps forward and is improving all the time. Can't recommend her enough.

I had a wonderful experience. In the past, I had been hesitant with therapy due to feeling like there was a ‘one size fits all’ methodology to therapy, however this was not the case with CAYP psychology. The therapist I had took a few sessions to listen to what I’d like from therapy & to what the issues I was facing were, and then decided on a way forward that was personal to me. It was easy to communicate whether something works or not, and I generally just felt very comfortable and was able to be honestI also have ASD & I felt incredibly comfortable discussing what aspects of my life were impacted by it without feeling like it was made out to be the sole reason for certain issues.
