Therapy sessions can include working directly with your child, observing and coaching parents or carers, telephone or online advice sessions, and review sessions after a therapy break. The cost of these sessions depends on how long they are, whether they happen at home, nursery, school, or remotely. Most face to face therapy sessions are 60 minutes long, with shorter sessions available where appropriate.

30 min: £45

45 min: £60

60 min: £75

Other tasks

Other tasks may be included in your child’s care package, such as attending meetings, writing detailed reports, or creating resources for home use. These will be discussed and agreed upon in advance, typically charged at a rate of £75 per hour.

Training

The fee for training sessions depends on the requirements for that particular course: number of attendees, location, and whether it is a bespoke or standard package. Prices start from £90 for a one hour standard session. Please contact me for more information.
