FAQ's
Q. I think my child would benefit from some therapy sessions. What now?
Once you've recognised a need for therapy, the next step is choosing the right therapist for your child. Keep your child involved in this process as they are more likely to engage with a therapist they have chosen.
If you do decide to avail of my services the process is as follows-
- Complete a referral form
- Attend Assessment Interviews to assess suitability
- Child attends 12 weekly sessions of 50 minutes each
- Parent Review meeting at week 6 and week 12
- Recontract for further sessions if required/ Agreed end of therapy
Q. Who are your services suitable for?
Referrals can be made for a variety of reasons which include but are not limited to
- Emotional and behavioural difficulties
- Chronic illness
- ASD/ autism
- ADHD/ ADD
- Loss/ bereavement
- School issues
- Family separation
- Relationship issues
- Bullying
- Trauma
Q. How much does it cost?
The 3 Assessment Interviews cost £150. I meet with you, to find more about the issues concerning you. Then your child comes for a trial session in the playroom. You and I meet again to discuss how many sessions your child is likely to need and to offer you some immediate suggestions and resources to support you before we begin work.
I have kept a very simple price-plan of £60 per 50 minute therapy session, or 50 minute parent review.
Q. How many sessions will my child need?
I recommends a minimum of 12-15 sessions to have a significant impact. I recommend contracting for 12 sessions and reviewing at week 6 to ensure that this is the right approach for your child.
Sessions can be terminated at any stage, but it is highly recommended that a planned ending occurs, to bring the therapy safely to a close.
