SEND therapists and specialists serving families in Dartford, Kent. Includes psychologists, play therapists and behaviour specialists.
Dartford sits at the north-western edge of Kent, close to the border with South East London and the Dartford Crossing. Its proximity to London means many families here straddle two worlds when it comes to SEND support: they fall under Kent County Council for education and EHCPs, but may also access London-based therapists and clinics. Understanding which local authority holds responsibility is an important first step, and for Dartford families, that is KCC.
Our directory currently lists 3 providers serving the Dartford area, covering autism and ADHD diagnostic assessments, CBT and psychology, and creative play therapy. Some of these providers are based in nearby areas such as Sidcup and Borough Green and travel to or serve families in Dartford. The ConnectBlue service, for instance, works across both South London and Kent, making it well-placed for families in this border area.
