Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy:

I work with children and young people aged from 0 - 25 years.

This can be babies, toddlers, infant and primary school aged children, adolescents and young adults.

Parent support:

I provide support to parents for 0-17 year olds where it is mutually agreed to be helpful.

Consultancy:

I offer consultancy for professionals working with children and young people. I specialise in neurodiversity.

Training:

I provide bespoke training to schools and organisations working with children and specialise in staff wellbeing and compassionate practice.

I offer individualised training in the practice for small nurture groups.

Resources:

• Published children’s books

• Resource books and information

• Training

Each session is for 50 minutes.

The amount of sessions needed depends upon the age of your child or young person and the level of the difficulty experienced.

All work up to the age of 17 years, begins with a parent consultation.

When working with babies, toddlers and children aged under five and their parents, I offer six sessions in the first instance, with the option of extending for further six session blocks, as necessary.

For children and teenagers aged 5-17, there will be a minimum of a 3 session assessment following the initial parent(s) consultation session(s). Following the assessment there is further review with parents to see if child and adolescent psychotherapy is likely to be helpful.

Dependent upon the nature of the presenting difficulties, work might be:

• short-term (six sessions),

• medium-term (10-12 sessions), or

• long-term (1 year +).

When working with 18-25 year olds, work might be a short series of 6 sessions if difficulties are not severe. Where difficulties are more complex, assessment and long term work may be needed.

Discussions around individual needs including length of therapy, appointment times and fees can be discussed in the initial parent(s) only consultation(s) and/or in the review following the assessment period.

I offer therapy sessions on weekdays from 16.00 to 19.30.

Appointments are via prior arrangement only and I do not usually offer telephone consultations or online therapy unless it is agreed as a part of the treatment needed.

The initial consultation and all sessions cost £75 per session.

I commit to ensuring that family finance is not a barrier for children and young people accessing therapy, so offer a rolling fee scale which can be discussed where needed.

Petal and Plum (the kittens) are friendly visitors to Nest & Nurture. They can help you feel settled and cosy.

If you have an allergy to cats or are not so sure, just let me know and they can enjoy a cat snooze somewhere else.
