Pattern of Appointments
Depending on the complexity and severity of the presenting issue(s), we may offer to see your child/you in the following ways:
Individual Child Psychotherapy Sessions
- Short term basis (this could be up to 10 sessions)
- Long term basis (this could be open-ended)
Parent and Child Psychotherapy
- This is when you and your child are seen together in sessions
Family Work
- This is when your child is seen together with the family
Therapeutic Consultation to Parents/Carers
- This is when you receive support without your child present in the sessions
All sessions are usually on a once a week basis. Depending on the needs and circumstances, more intensive support could also be available.
We offer regular reviews to give feedback as well as to monitor the progress of your child or children.

- Psycho-education for children, young people and their families to understand the condition(s)
