At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we specialise in the comprehensive assessment and treatment of behavioural difficulties in children, teenagers, and adults.

Whether you're seeking help for Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder (CD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or other behavioural challenges, our multidisciplinary team is here to provide support.

What are behavioural difficulties?


Behavioural difficulties encompass a range of behaviours that challenge that may significantly affect an individual’s ability to function in daily life. Common conditions like Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder (CD), and ADHD can cause disruptions at school, work, or within the family.


Without intervention, these behaviours can escalate, leading to emotional stress for both the individual and their loved ones.


Signs of behavioural difficulties


Recognising the signs of behavioural difficulties early is crucial for effective treatment.


Symptoms can vary depending on the specific condition but often include:


  • Defiance and opposition to authority (common in ODD)

  • Frequent temper tantrums and anger outbursts

  • Aggressive behaviour or physical harm to others (common in CD)

  • Difficulty focusing or impulsive behaviour (signs of ADHD)

  • Disregard for rules or social norms (often seen in Conduct Disorder)

  • Struggling with maintaining friendships or relationships


If your child, teenager, or loved one exhibits any of these behaviours, seeking professional help from a specialist is the first step toward finding a solution.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) treatment in London


At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we provide expert treatment for Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) in children and teenagers.

ODD treatment options include:

Our compassionate team will help your child or teen manage their symptoms and improve their relationships, empowering them to lead a more fulfilling life.


Conduct Disorder (CD) treatment in London


Conduct Disorder (CD) is a more severe form of behavioural difficulty that involves repetitive and persistent aggression, deceitfulness, or violation of social rules. CD is most common in teenagers and often requires intensive intervention.


At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we offer a holistic approach to Conduct Disorder treatment, incorporating therapy, behaviour modification, and family support.


Conduct Disorder treatment options include:


  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address impulsive or harmful behaviours

  • Social skills training to improve interactions with peers

By addressing the root causes of the behaviour, we aim to help young people with CD learn to manage their emotions and actions more effectively.
