Hi All.
Where can I look to find an affordable child(ren) Psychologist/Psychiatrist? Not looking at the NHS.
I need an assessment for a bereaved child.
Is there a register?
An organisation/association?
My online searches are not taking me anywhere.
Thanks.

Is there a reason you're wanting a psychiatric assessment from a psychologist/psychiatrist as opposed to the child attending a therapist for bereavement counselling?

This. But also, the overlap between a psychologist and a psychiatrist is very small, so not sure what you're expecting. We need more detail.

What assessment are you after?
Is it therapeutic support for a bereaved child, to deal with the loss? In which case, wouldn't a child counsellor be more appropriate? For example: https://www.childrenswellnesscentre.co.uk/child-and-adolescent-counselling-service/
