Free Telephone Consultation

A 10-15 minute informal telephone consultation to discuss your concerns and how we may be able to help. There is no associated cost or obligation. Contact us to arrange a free telephone consultation. 

Initial Assessment

An initial assessment may involve a detailed case history, liaison with your significant others, informal and formal assessment using published standardised materials. Standard initial assessments tend to last between 60 – 90 minutes, and comprehensive initial assessments are between 90 - 120 minutes. We are able to provide home-visits to local areas. Adult clients can be seen at our clinic in N12, and paediatric clients can be seen in clinic in N3. Virtual sessions are also offered.
 
Once all the necessary information has been collected, we will discuss the assessment findings and next steps. There is no obligation to continue with a block of therapy.

Therapy / Follow up Sessions

Therapy is generally offered in a weekly block of 6 - 8 sessions, however longer, shorter or fortnightly therapy packages are also available. Therapy sessions are approximately 50 minutes. After a block of therapy, your progress is reviewed and future input is discussed. 

If therapy is not indicated but a review is indicated, we also offer follow-up services.
