Costs

Once we have met to talk about your concerns about your child, we will build a package to suit your needs.  The initial meeting to gather background information, understand your concerns & plan a way forward costs £60.  Packages going forward are built from the following elements.

Play therapy assessment

  • 4 play therapy sessions
  • Meeting with parents to feed back

£300

Attachment assessment (CAPA)

Play therapy sessions 

After the assessment period, we will plan with you how many one-to-one sessions will be helpful to schedule with your child.  For some children effective change can happen in 12 sessions.  For more complex situations, children may need 20 - 30 sessions.  We will plan in regular review meetings with you so that you are aware of how your child is doing and we can work together to create supports at home or in school  / nursery.

£60 per session

12 Filial Therapy sessions

  • Sessions 7, 8 & 9 sessions with child
  • Session 10 review of skills & plan for playing @ home (parent only)

£720

£60 per session

Reports

Reports can be written to share information with professionals working with your child, or for use in meetings.  

note: Reports can't be written for court or legal use as trust is key for therapy to be effective.  If children know that what they share might lead to courts deciding on family changes, they will not feel free enough to work therapeutically.

£60

Supervision

Frequency & length of sessions dependent on your case load and requirements of your governing body

£50 per hour

Parent conversations

One hour conversations

 

£60

The basic cost for a session is £60.  Recognising that this amount may not be possible for all families, coming to sessions fortnightly might be an option so that the cost is spread over a longer period.  Some children will manage this well, others would struggle to make good use of sessions with a gap in-between.  Please let us know if you would like to discuss this as an option for your child.
