Cleft Psychologist

“I am interested in patient’s well-being and mental health.
As part of the cleft team I hope to help patients & their families manage any concerns they have about their cleft.”

The Cleft Psychologist acts to support patients and their families throughout their cleft treatment journey.

It is a long journey and managing the psychological impact of being born with a cleft can, at times, be a challenge.

By having a knowledge of cleft care and working as a member of the team, the cleft psychologist is acutely aware of problems that can develop and can provide strategies to help patients’ and their families cope with them.
