Referrals for Individual Psychotherapy, Psychological Support and Couples Therapy can be made by your treating consultant or their nominee.

Referrals can be made to the attention of:

Dr. Paul D’Alton, Senior Clinical Psychologist, by the treating consultant or their nominee.

They can be sent by internal mail to:
