Consequently, clinicians focus entirely on personalised assessment and therapy.

Furthermore, the clinic provides telehealth consultations via encrypted video links to ensure continuity when in-person visits prove difficult. Each client receives a bespoke resource pack, complete with visual aids, home-practice workbooks, and recommended apps.
