Clinical Psychologists

We are a group of Specialist Clinical Psychologist and assistant psychologists covering the city and county within 4 localities: City, South, North and West.

Our service is for adults over 18 with a confirmed diagnosis of an Intellectual Disability, sometimes called a Learning Disability. We also assess to see if people have an Intellectual Disability. We work closely with other health professionals and social care.

What we can help

Clinical Psychologists can:

• help you understand your thoughts and feelings
• help you to feel better about things that worry or upset you

They might do this by:

• talking to you
• helping you to think differently about things that make you sad or worried
• helping you to do something differently so problems don't get worse
• talking to your family, support staff, other health professionals
• doing assessments that help people understand how you make sense of information so they can help you with this

Clinical Psychologists do not prescribe medication.
