Every family starts with a free 15-minute phone call, and there's no charge for that conversation. If a written report is likely to be needed, I can provide a quote before your appointment so there are no surprises.

Good to know

A few common questions about cost

How many sessions will we need? There isn't a set number — it depends on your child's strengths, their goals and how quickly they progress. I review progress with you regularly and adjust as we go, so you're never committing to an open-ended course of therapy.

Is funding available? Some families access support through the Ministry of Education, and many choose to see me privately while they're on the Ministry waitlist. I'm happy to talk through the options with you and point you in the right direction.

Can I get a quote first? Yes. Where a written report is likely to be needed, I can provide a quote before your appointment so you know exactly where you stand.
