There are several clinical psychologists who work within the Team. They are in the team to offer support to patients and families throughout infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. A psychologist is always present in clinic to offer support and advice and they can also be accessed at any time to offer telephone support or meet with patients and families individually.
The psychologists can offer help with a range of issues. They can offer support regarding the emotional impact of having a cleft lip and palate, support throughout treatment and surgery and help with making decisions about treatments in the future.
They also run childrens' groups and parents' groups throughout the year.
