Dr Parkin believes in working holistically with children, adolescents and their families to assess and treat the medical, psychological and social aspects of a mental health presentation. He employs a range of models, including medical, family systems, attachment, behavioural, cognitive, dynamic, and trauma-informed approaches. He works with family members together and individually, and will (with consent) liaise with other professionals involved when this is helpful. He applies knowledge and skills from clinical practice and research to bring an informed approach from the current evidence base. He works with compassion and respect for dignity and diversity.

Unfortunately, Dr Parkin has now permanently closed his books to new referrals.
