Services
I work primarily in the London Borough of Barnet and can provide assessment and therapy for children both at home and at school. Additional services, appointments and reports can be provided on request.
What I offer
Most families start with an initial assessment. What follows is agreed together, based on what your child needs.
-
Initial assessment
We will discuss the current situation, progress and concerns. I will complete informal or formal assessment, depending on what is appropriate, and then provide advice verbally. Different packages are available depending on whether you need a brief summary report or a full report, with resources and activities available to add on. Length may vary depending on the presenting clinical need.
-
Face to face therapy
If ongoing therapy is indicated following the initial assessment, this will be organised. Sessions may be weekly or fortnightly, agreed between therapist and family along with session length. A block of therapy typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks before being reviewed.
-
Review appointments
Following an agreed block of therapy sessions, or after a consolidation period, a review session takes place to establish the impact of sessions so far. This is also an opportunity for targets to be reviewed, and new targets set if needed.
-
Targets and therapy programme
Written targets and strategies, including advice and next steps, provided to be used at home and at school.
-
School and nursery visits
Visits to your child's school can be discussed and arranged. This ensures that staff feel confident in delivering the programme and strategies to develop communication.
-
School based intervention
If you are a staff member at a nursery or school and are interested in working with me, please get in touch. I am happy to provide observations, assessments, support with EHCP applications, training, therapy and more. I also provide training and support for education staff in pre-schools, nurseries and primary schools.
Sessions are practical, varied and fun
Therapy works best when a child is engaged. I build functional targets into play and everyday activities, and I work in line with recent evidence base so that interventions are effective and tailored to individual needs.
Children aged 2 to 11. If your child sits outside that bracket and you are seeking support, please contact me and I will advise whether this is something I can provide.
