Therapist (Episode 9629)

The Therapist was consulted by Fiz Stape and Tyrone Dobbs in December 2018 after they had endured months of worry over the behaviour of their daughter Hope. The therapist confirmed to the worried parents that the little girl was exhibiting signs of callous and unemotional traits and would need to be referred to a special unit. The local centres were under-resourced but Tyrone had already investigated the options available on the web and asked if the Whitecroft Centre in Birmingham would be suitable. The therapist confirmed it was an excellent unit but difficult to obtain a place although she did have some contacts they could speak to. Fiz reluctantly agreed with the idea, even though it would mean sending their daughter away.
