Berkshire Child Anxiety Clinic (ANDY Research Clinic)

We are a Clinical Research Unit based within the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences at the University of Reading. Our principle research activities relate to the development, maintenance and treatment of anxiety disorders and depression in children and young people. We work in collaboration with Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). Currently referrals for young people must be made through a professional or clinician. If you are concerned about your child a good first step is to talk to a professional who knows your child well such as a teacher, social worker or GP. They can advise and can get further specialist advice about courses of action, and can refer your child to Berkshire CAMHS if necessary. Referrals to the Berkshire service can only be accepted for families living within Berkshire Referrals should be directed to the Berkshire CAMHS Common Point of Entry (CPE). A referral form can be found on the CAMHS website
