Dr Bligh and Dr Tilley provide Clinical Psychology services to children, families and schools in the Sussex area. We are passionate about supporting children to live fulfilling lives. We have significant experience working with young people with a range of difficulties including those with mental health problems, learning disabilities and autism, and other neurodevelopmental conditions. We have learnt through our practice that providing the right support as early as possible is essential.

What we do

• At Making Sense Of It, we have extensive experience supporting families, children and schools in the understanding and managing challenging behaviour (including functional analysis of behaviour and development of a PBS plan)
• We provide therapeutic support to young people and their families to manage a range of issues including anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, low self esteem , relationship difficulties.
• At Making Sense Of It, we have joined with Speech Therapists (SALT), Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, and Occupational Therapists (OT) to develop a multidisciplinary autism diagnosis service. This service is in line with the NICE guidance 2013.
• We can offer a variety of support into educational settings, including consultation to teaching staff in relation to specific children, whole school training and therapeutic support packages for individual children or small groups of children.
• As Clinical Psychologists, we are both trained in a variety of different therapeutic models including for example cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT); attachment informed therapies; brief psychodynamic therapy; and systemic approaches.
