How much will it cost?
Initial assessment is £125 for 1.5 hours face to face or virtually and includes a parent/carer assessment, child assessment and brief findings report.
Our prices work on a sliding scale so that we can be accessible to everyone. Prices start from £60 for private 1:1 play therapy or individual therapeutic parenting support.
Bespoke therapy packages can be offered and if you choose to take on therapy, the cost of initial assessment is taken off when booking your course or block of 12 therapy sessions. Or you have the option to put the cost of assessment towards some alternative therapy to add on to your therapy session course.
A minimum of six therapy sessions need to be booked and paid for in advance (if you do not wish to take advantage of the free assessment), so that there is opportunity to establish a therapeutic relationship and assess progress.
The work I carry out is in depth and it takes time to build a therapeutic relationship in order to begin trauma therapy. I will never complete any trauma processing without doing stabilisation work, as this reduces any risk of re-traumatisation in the trauma processing phase. Trauma re-processing without stabilisation is unsafe and unethical practice.
