Children’s psychological wellbeing practitioner
Who are children’s psychological wellbeing practitioner (CPWP)s?
Children’s psychological wellbeing practitioner (CPWP) work with children, young people and their parents and carers when they are experiencing mild to moderate problems with their emotions, thoughts or behaviour.

Children’s psychological wellbeing practitioners help with:
- anxiety (worries) and fears

What will happen when I talk to a CPWP?
At your first appointment, we will have a discussion with you and your parents or carers about your worries and difficulties. We will work with you to find the best way to help you.
If we think this is the right place for you, we will match you with a children’s psychological wellbeing practitioner who will work with you short-term on your specific goals.
