What to expect

I welcome referrals from parents, carers, Health Visitors, Doctors, and educational professionals.

 

Initial contact
This may well be via email, but I find it useful to arrange a phone call as well, where we can discuss your child, your concerns, and how I can help. If you decide to proceed, we’ll arrange an appointment.

​

Assessment
During the initial session, I’ll assess your child through:

• Observation

• Discussion with you

• Formal or informal assessments

​

At the end of the session, I’ll provide a detailed explanation of my findings and recommendations. Afterward, you’ll receive a comprehensive written report summarizing the assessment and next steps.

​

Post-Assessment Outcomes
Depending on the assessment, the following options may be discussed:

• Therapy sessions: Flexible scheduling tailored to your needs.

• School/nursery visit: To gather further information or collaborate with staff.

• Home programme: A tailored plan, followed by a review session.

• No intervention: If therapy is not necessary at this time.

• Onward referral: To other professionals or services, if required.
