Lucy Willetts

We offer ADHD/autism assessments to children and young people – please email us and we can send you our information sheet (info@lucywilletts.co.uk).
Our assessments follow the NICE guidelines and we work closely with several specialist prescribers who offer ADHD medication consultations. For further information about our assessments, please email us. You can also download our latest assessment information sheets here:
We continue to offer an assessment and therapy service to children, young people and families. We are currently offering both face to face and remote sessions.
We now have a family therapist on our team and are delighted to be able to offer family sessions.
We do not need a GP referral and offer help and support tailored to the child or young person’s needs. We also offer parent consultation sessions for parents who are keen for guidance about how best to support their child.

We are a team of Child Clinical Psychologists, CBT therapists and Psychotherapists working in West Berkshire to provide support and intervention to children and families locally. Dr Lucy Willetts originally set up the clinic following many years of working locally within the Berkshire CAMHS NHS service and within the Royal Berkshire Hospital Paediatric Department. We are now a well-established service and have strong links with local GPs and other health care professionals.

We are specialists in the treatment of anxiety difficulties in children and young people and have extensive research and clinical experience in this field.

We also see children and young people with a range of other psychological difficulties including low self-esteem, behavioural difficulties, and low mood issues.

New book – September 2026: Mastering Life with ADHD

A self-help guide for teenagers diagnosed with ADHD to help manage your symptoms successfully.
