How will we know if you can help?

​

Following you contacting me about your child, either by phone or email, we will discuss whether to arrange an initial consultation appointment.  This first meeting is usually for parents or carers, and is an opportunity to discuss your concerns for your child and for us to think together about whether child psychotherapy may help.   If this seems likely, then we will arrange a series of 4-6 assessment sessions to explore this further.  If this way of working does not seem suitable, then I will offer you guidance as to what might be more appropriate help.

​​

What is the frequency of therapy sessions?

​

Therapy sessions are usually weekly but occasionally more intensive treatment is needed.

​​

How long does treatment last?

​

Some interventions are brief and progress can be made in just a few sessions; for some children or young people a time-limited number of sessions is suitable and for others longer periods in therapy, for several months or more are needed.

​

How much will it cost?

​

Sessions cost from £60
