OUR CLINICS
About Our Hertford Clinic
The Hertford Clinic is one of The London Centre’s specialist satellite clinics, local spaces outside London where longstanding, highly experienced members of our team offer in-person care, supported by our wider multidisciplinary structure in London.
This satellite model allows children, young people, and families across Hertfordshire to access specialist treatment locally, while benefiting from our full London-based multidisciplinary team (psychiatry, dietetics, OT), our clinical governance framework, NICE-aligned treatment pathways, and the continuity of care that comes from a cohesive, expert-led service.
Located on Hartham Lane in the centre of Hertford, the clinic provides a calm, confidential environment convenient to Ware, Hoddesdon, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City, Bishop’s Stortford, and surrounding areas.
The Hertford Clinic is led by Dr Hayley Dolan, Specialist Clinical Psychologist and The London Centre’s Child & Adolescent (C&A) Lead, who provides expert assessment and therapy for children, adolescents, young adults, adults and families. Where appropriate, treatment is supported by remote psychiatric, dietetic, or additional therapeutic input from our London team.
