• Our approach

  Fleming Psychology uses an eclectic, evidence-based approach tailored to your child's individual needs. Sessions draw from several therapeutic methods including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), schema therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy skills, acceptance and commitment therapy, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), and mentalising-based therapy, among others. The practice recognises that children don't fit neatly into single treatment boxes and therefore uses a flexible approach to match what works best. During sessions, the psychologist creates a relaxed, collaborative space where you and your child work together to explore what has brought you to therapy, what has been tried before, and what feels stuck. The focus is on finding the best path forwards through authentic partnership rather than expert-led diagnosis.

• Meet the team

  Fleming Psychology is operated by Jennifer Fleming, a Senior Clinical Psychologist and practice owner with specialist qualifications. Jennifer founded Fleming Psychology in 2015 with a commitment to making psychological therapy accessible. She has worked with children and all age groups across a range of mental health presentations, with particular expertise in complex trauma and dissociative disorders. As of April 2026, Jennifer operates as a sole-trader and is not currently accepting new patient referrals. For clients who previously worked with other psychologists at the practice, contact can be made directly with those clinicians as needed.

• Your first visit

  Your child's first session is designed to be welcoming and conversational rather than formal or clinical. The psychologist will spend time getting to know your child and understanding what has brought you both to therapy, asking questions about their situation, background, and what approaches have already been tried. The session happens in a relaxed atmosphere that many families find puts children at ease, even though starting therapy can feel anxiety-provoking beforehand. By the end of the first appointment, most families report feeling relieved and have a clear sense of what therapy will look like moving forwards, including which therapeutic approach might work best for your child's needs.
