Multidisciplinary Referrals
At Oracle Psychology we understand the need for close collaboration and communication between professions in supporting the complex needs of clients during important developmental periods. Our holistic and client centered approach to working with children and adolescents is at the centre of our practice. We employ evidence based treatments, using the scientist practitioner model, to drive our practice.
Our clinicians provide a coordinated multidisciplinary approach to participants, where appropriate, in collaboration with medical and allied health professionals. We do not provide Psychology in isolation, but instead we actively consider and encourage multidisciplinary approaches, due to the changing needs of clients. We often work closely with many other professionals including Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Support Workers, Paediatricians, Psychiatrists, Support Coordinators and Teachers.
Below is a list of our regular collaborative partners, who offer a range of multidisciplinary services in the Newcastle area. We have regular contact, communication and collaboration with these organisations in order to support our clients as required:
