Thought it wise to post this here for other parents information.

If this revelation is correct, it's worrying for families who have received the diagnosis or pursuing it with this clinic. I had naively assumed psychology was well regulated in ireland.

Definitely worrying, horrible that there are people out their preying on vulnerable parents and children.

I would say a good rule of thumb for parents is to try and find out who in their area does the private consultation for the HSE. Additionally any diagnosis if done to the standard of the AON should be multi-disciplinary and psychology is just one part of it.
