Penelope Andreou, Clinical Psychologist

About me
I am a Clinical Psychologist and therapist with extensive experience of working with children, young people, parents and families. I have expertise in child development, neurodevelopmental conditions, long-term health conditions with associated emotional and behavioural difficulties and, cognitive and educational assessments. I am passionate about supporting children and their families to cope with their challenges.
I have worked across a range of NHS services having spent most of my career at Great Ormond Street Hospital specialising in the assessment of neurodivergence. I continue to work at Great Ormond Street Hospital, within the trust's neurodevelopment psychology team, as the current lead psychologist for a rare conditions service, which is in the Neurodisability service.
I have worked in private practice for several years. This has included working therapeutically with children and young people and their families and also conducting cognitive and educational assessments. I am also part of Multi-disciplinary neurodevelopmental assessment team (autism and ADHD, learning differences).
