We will have a 20-minute Zoom conversation in the first instance to talk through your referral. This is free of charge.

We can then proceed to the initial consultation (via Zoom) to further discuss your referral. This will need to be paid for (1 to 1.5 hours). Please see the Fees page.

• This will include going through the intake paperwork, such as:

  • General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) (data privacy and usage) 

  • Safeguarding and confidentiality

  • Possible assessment procedures, such as SDQs, RCADS, DMM

  • How we will work together and fees

  • The Treatment Consent Form will then be signed.

Therapy sessions and some assessments are being conducted face-to-face.
