NEST CLINICAL SERVICES

Neurodevelopmental and Specialist Therapies

We cover the North West of England (Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire), and the South/South East (London, Buckinghamshire, and Kent)

NEST brings together a team of specialist multidisciplinary clinicians, including Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, and Positive Behaviour Analysts.

Working as one integrated team, not a collection of referrals.

Who We Work With

  • Residential Homes

    Embedded multidisciplinary support, reflective practice, staff training, and direct clinical work, integrated directly into the life of the home.

  • Education Settings

    Direct assessment and intervention, consultation, EHCP support, and formulation-led thinking for young people with complex SEMH and neurodevelopmental needs.

  • Local Authorities

    Whether supporting a young person in foster care, residential placements, or an adult with a learning disability, our team works flexibly and collaboratively.
