Dr Patrick Halcrow
Educational Psychology and Child Psychotherapy Services in Norwich, Norfolk.
Currently no availability
I do not currently have any availability for new clients. I am operating a waiting list and envisage that I should have availability from January 2026. My practice will also be moving from the city centre to Arminghall and my website is currently under further development.
Welcome
My name is Dr Patrick Halcrow. I am dual qualified as an Educational Psychologist and Child Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience supporting children, families and educational settings. I work with children, from birth until they reach the age of 25, that present with a range of childhood needs and difficulties.
I specialise in working with the internal world of children and young people, helping them explore and express what is going on inside them (their thoughts, feelings, and unique ways of seeing the world), and I help adults understand it, so that children feel better supported in their relationships at home and at school.
I invite enquiries regarding my services from young people over the age of 16, parents/carers, educational settings and a range of professionals working in child social care, mental health, and allied health professionals.
