Our team

The people who will look after your child

Assessments here are consultant-led and the same small team stays with your family afterwards - reviews, medication management and school liaison included.

Clinical team

Dr Jo Jones

Consultant Paediatrician

BSc Hons MBBS MRCP FRCPCH Dip Pall Med · GMC 3585607

I've been a paediatrician for over 32 years, initially specialising in children's palliative care and moving into the broad field of child psychiatry over 20 years ago. I was head of complex care in my NHS consultant post and love the idea of looking after the whole child - a totally holistic approach of body, mind and emotions, working collaboratively with the family.

My main areas of expertise are ADHD, autism, and associated difficulties, including anxiety and emotional regulation.

I discuss all patients with Dr Jo Jones or Dr Khalid Malik, and together we develop a tailored care plan that meets each child's individual needs.

Particularly good at: I pride myself on being approachable, empathetic and a good listener. I aim to create a safe, supportive environment where children, young people and their families feel heard, understood and involved in decisions about their care.

Outside of work: I love travelling and exploring new countries, experiencing different cultures and discovering new places. I also enjoy socialising with family and friends, and I am a massive foodie.

Why families choose us

Short waits

Our books are open, so families are usually seen in weeks rather than the years of an NHS pathway.

Child-centred

Consultations are unhurried, sensitive and explained in language your child can understand.

Talk to us about your child

Tell us a little about your concerns and we'll advise on the right type of appointment - there's no obligation to book.
