Additional Information

Harwood Child Psychology convenes weekly multidisciplinary case‑review meetings, where psychologists, psychiatrists, speech and language therapists, and occupational therapists share insights. Therefore, each care plan integrates collective expertise and the latest best practices. In addition, the practice operates a secure online portal for pre‑consultation questionnaires and digital symptom diaries. Consequently, Dr Rhodes can focus sessions directly on core clinical concerns rather than administrative tasks.

The clinics feature child‑friendly design elements and interactive resources to create a welcoming environment. Meanwhile, families receive digital outcome‑tracking tools that allow real‑time monitoring of progress. Furthermore, Harwood hosts regular community workshops on emotional regulation, positive behaviour support, and school transitions.
