Services. & fees





Initial phone consultation



I offer an initial telephone conversation to discuss your child's needs and the services I offer. This is free of charge and there is no obligation to proceed with further services.



Initial assessment
£130



Before therapy can begin it is important to assess what your child's speech and language needs are. Assessment sessions last 1-1.5 hours. The initial assessment includes a detailed case history from the child's parents/carers and the use of formal and informal assessments and observations during the session. This builds a profile of the child's speech, language and communication strengths and needs. Included in the fee is verbal feedback of the assessment and a one page document briefly summarising assessment outcomes. Reports can be produced for an additional fee.



Therapy sessions
£60-£65 / session



Therapy sessions typically last up to 1 hour; this may include a combination of therapy with your child and discussion time. For direct therapy (me working with your child) I work in blocks of 6 weeks, where therapy targets are set at the start of the block of therapy and reviewed at the end. Blocks of 6 therapy sessions can be booked for a discounted rate of £60/session when paid in full in advance (total £360). Therapy sessions paid session by session are £65.


If your child's needs can be met without 'direct therapy' I may recommend a 'therapy programme' (see 'therapy programme' section) or an 'advice and strategies' session. 'Advice and strategies' sessions are one-off sessions where I can discuss and show you strategies to use at home.



Therapy programme
£230



Where direct therapy is not needed a therapy programme may be recommended; this is a written plan for you/school staff to work through with your child. This fee includes an initial session with me to model and talk through the programme, a session later on to review progress and a written therapy programme with resources.



Reports and letters
£35-£65+



I can provide written reports summarising your child's speech and language strengths and needs along with advice. If referral on to other services is required I can also provide a referral letter. Fees may vary depending on report requirements, but here are general fee guidelines:

  • One page profile £35
  • Referral letter £35
  • Standard report £65


Meetings and site visits
£65/hour + travel costs



I am available to attend meetings at school or nursery with teachers and other professionals. If needed I can also do nursery/school visits in order to observe how your child functions within the nursery/school setting.
