How does CBT help children with ADHD and autism?

CBT helps children identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and develop practical coping strategies for daily challenges. For ADHD, CBT targets impulsivity, time management, and self-organisation. For autism, it supports anxiety management and social understanding.

How often does my child need to see a psychologist?

Most children attend weekly sessions lasting 45 to 60 minutes. The total duration depends on the therapeutic goals — short-term CBT programmes typically run 8 to 16 sessions, while ongoing developmental support may continue longer with periodic review.
