- Adult Therapy & Counselling
- Child & Teen Therapy
- Family Therapy / Parent-Child Therapy
- Autism Assessments for Children & Teenagers
- Autism Post-Diagnostic Support

Their flexible approach ensures treatment plans are tailored to each person’s unique needs and circumstances.
Autism Assessments for Children & Teenagers
If you think your child may show signs of autism, it’s important to involve them in the process where appropriate—talk to them about the possibility of an assessment and seek their views and consent. The next step is usually to speak with a professional, such as your GP, about arranging a diagnostic assessment.
Seeking an assessment can help you better understand your child’s needs and ensure they receive the right support moving forward. Not every assessment results in a diagnosis—sometimes, other factors may be identified and addressed instead.
At The Retreat Clinics, a range of private autism assessment services are available for children and young people who are self-funded, including:
- Initial screening for autism
- Full diagnostic assessment for autism
Assessments are offered at their welcoming clinic in York or delivered online nationwide, providing flexibility and accessibility for families across the UK.
Post-Diagnostic Autism Support for Families
Receiving an autism diagnosis for your child or teenager can bring both relief and new questions. The Retreat Clinics offers post-diagnostic support designed to help families understand what the diagnosis means and how best to support their child moving forward.
This support is:
- Neurodiversity-affirming – autism is recognised as a valid way of being, not something to be “fixed.”
- Strength-based – building on your child’s unique skills, sensory profile, and communication style.
- Practical & flexible – typically provided as a 2-session package, with the option to extend.
- Tailored – support may be delivered to parents/carers, directly to the young person, or both.
Sessions can include guidance on emotional regulation, sensory preferences, anxiety, routines, communication, and wellbeing at home or school. Delivered by experienced clinicians such as psychologists and occupational therapists, this service helps families feel confident, connected, and equipped to navigate the path ahead with compassion and understanding.
Supporting Children’s Mental Health
Many parents notice when their child or teenager feels more anxious, withdrawn, or “not themselves.” If you’re concerned about your child’s wellbeing, The Retreat Clinics offers dedicated child therapy and family counselling services.
Their team of experienced therapists and psychologists provides a safe, supportive environment to help children and young people build confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
Parent-Child Therapy (for ages 5–17) is also available, designed to strengthen family bonds, improve communication, and provide practical strategies for navigating challenges together.
Adult Therapy & Counselling
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but having the right support makes all the difference. The Retreat Clinics offers individual therapy sessions where adults can explore issues such as:
- Anxiety and stress
- Low mood or depression
- Relationship challenges
- Life transitions
- Self-confidence and personal growth
With the guidance of a skilled, compassionate therapist, you’ll gain tools for coping, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
