Child Clinical Psychology Service

Growing up in our modern and rapidly changing society, children may encounter multiple environmental changes and stresses, giving rise to psychological and emotional disturbances such as developmental delays, learning difficulties, eating/sleeping problems, anxieties, compulsive behaviours, attention problems, etc.

With clinical psychology service, a clinical psychologist attempts to understand an individual’s condition through clinical interview, observation and psychometric assessment tools. Child clinical psychologists are trained to contribute to the assessment and management of most problems in behaviour and development. They facilitate the adjustment of children and their families to stressful life events, such as hospitalisation, bereavement, parents' divorce, social problems and academic pressures. The management of children’s problems may be handled by a psychologist alone, in collaboration with other professionals, or by appropriate referral.

Those in need of clinical psychology service include children and adolescents who have emotional, mental, learning and behavioural problems.
