EMMA MCGIBBON

Hello, I’m Emma, a Clinical Psychologist specialising in work with children and young people with neurodevelopmental differences including Autism, ADHD, difficulties with learning, and long-term health conditions. I carry out neurodevelopmental and neuropsychological assessments to support the understanding of children’s experiences. Where relevant, I work with colleagues from different disciplines to enable us to have a holistic understanding of a child. I believe that by recognising a child or young person’s individual strengths and needs, they can be better understood by themselves, their family and other important people in their lives.

I provide post-diagnostic parent support to parents where appropriate.

Specialist interest:

I offer comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments including:
✔ Cognitive and intellectual profiles
✔ Academic skills & learning difficulties (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia)
✔ Autism & social communication challenges
✔ Attention difficulties (ADHD/ADD)
✔ Behavioural challenges (e.g., emotional outbursts, meltdowns)
✔ Executive functioning skills (e.g., planning, organisation)

I work with trusted and experienced colleagues (e.g. Paediatricians, Occupational Therapists, Psychiatrists and Speech and Language Therapists) from my extensive professional networks to create a fully rounded team, each contributing their area of expertise to ensure everything is considered in establishing the best path forward for your child. By working collaboratively, we can make sure that we have a holistic view of your child’s development.
