At The Stepping Stone Children's Clinic we combine the skills of dedicated and highly trained professionals to focus our attention on everyday problems seen in children.

Medics and complimentary therapists work together to treat the 'whole child', and so bridge the gap between orthodox and complimentary medicine.

We strive to ascertain the underlying cause of disease / discomfort / behaviour or learning problems and work with the body's natural healing processes, so that each one of our children's potential for health, learning and co-ordination is achieved.

How The Stepping Stone Children’s Clinic works
We realise that the decision to have your child treated with complimentary medicine is one step, but deciding which therapy to choose is a far more difficult step. We appreciate this difficulty, and also find it ourselves, as practitioners. For this reason, we work as a team, medics and complimentary therapists, considering case histories together, and deciding between us on a proposed treatment plan.

The success of treatment depends upon the correct choice of treatment. The correct choice of treatment relies on being given the information and knowledge with on which to base the decision.
This is why at the SSCC we aim to provide you with the knowledge, advice and expertise to help you decide which treatment your child should receive.

First Visit
When you first visit the SSCC, you will be interviewed by a member of the team, who will take the case history of your child. Your child's case will then be discussed at the next Panel meeting, where we will decide on the best form of treatment(s), and a treatment time plan.
You will receive a report by post with a suggested treatment plan, once the panel has met.

Once your child begins treatment with us, they will be under the care of the whole team, not just the therapist treating your child. The case will be reviewed regularly, and the progress of your child observed. If necessary, the treatment plan will be amended depending on your child's response to treatment.
