Fees
Initial telephone consultation
Free.
I offer a free initial telephone consultation for up to 15 minutes to discuss the nature of your concerns and the support your child may require. If this is something I am able to provide we can then arrange an initial assessment appointment.
If I am not able to offer the right support, I will always do my best to signpost you to another clinician or service who may be better suited to your child’s needs.
Initial Assessment
50 minute appointment - £150
Extended assessment session (90 minutes plus summary report) – £350
-
You and your child are invited to attend the first session together. This provides an opportunity for me to get to know your child and understand what is going well (exploring their likes and interests) and to explore some of the things they are finding difficult (whether that be at home, in school, or with friendships). At the end of the session, we will think about your child's hopes for therapy and what any ongoing work might look like.
Meeting someone new and starting therapy can be a daunting experience, especially for young people. Lots of young people don't know what to expect or find it uncomfortable opening up to someone they don't know. I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where I can work collaboratively with you and your child. I will always provide an opportunity to name and talk through some of these worries at the start of any assessment session in order to support engagement.
I always encourage parents to join the first appointment; however, many adolescents and young adults opt to meet individually. Subsequent parent sessions can be arranged if deemed helpful to have a more open conversation away from your child.
Follow-up appointments
50 minutes – £150
All therapy appointments last for 50 minutes and take place weekly in an allocated slot. Appointments can take place in person, online, or a combination of the two, depending on individual preference and need. Sessions may be spread out as and when things feel more manageable, and we work towards an ending.
Initial consultation – 50 minutes – £180 (includes completion of screening questionnaires)
Please note that this is a stand-alone fee, as some individuals will not go on to have a full assessment.
ADHD diagnostic assessment – typically completed over 3-4 hours, plus a 50-minute feedback session and full clinical report – £1,220
