At HSR Psychology we ensure that we meet the needs of children and young people. To achieve this we ensure that any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work, is only carried out following an initial discussion.
An initial discussion allows us to understand the background and your expectations of our involvement. Having an initial discussion ensures any services we provide appropriately identify or address needs.
Our process for any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work is as follows:
Psychological needs relating to toileting difficulties are assessed using tests such as behavioural checklists, scales, and also journals. Assessments and scales are helpful in determining if there are any underlying difficulties (e.g. anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD) that contribute to or worsen the difficulties.
We recommend that any physical causes or conditions are investigated by a medical professional before our assessments take place. An assessment for psychological needs with HSR Psychology relating to toileting difficulties would aim to identify and focus on the underlying cause of the behaviours, for example mental health and sensory needs, not the physical symptoms.
After an assessment, psychological needs related to toileting difficulties are used to recommend future intervention and support. If we do not identify an underlying cause, then we may recommend that the child or young person sees a medical professional. Any needs identified can be outlined in a brief or a comprehensive report according to the circumstances. This will be discussed during the initial discussion.
Our team support numerous interventions. Psychological interventions we can provide include:
There may be a medical underlying need causing the toileting difficulties, in these cases a psychological intervention may or may not be appropriate. Our specialist interventions tend to focus on psychological or sensory needs and reduce the risk of difficulties escalating, or the impact of associated feelings. If we are not the most appropriate service, we would signpost parents and carers to the most appropriate support. Some behaviours may be the result of repeated behaviour, so we may be able to reduce these behaviours through an individualised intervention plan working closely with home and/or school.
Arrange an Initial Discussion to find out how we can help. The initial discussion lasts 1-1.5 hours, comes with a written recommendation summary and is a starting point to identify needs. The cost is £260.

Toileting difficulties can impact several areas of a child or young person’s life. Early needs identification can ensure effective interventions are put in place to provide strategies and techniques to help support needs.
