We offer a variety of services for our Clients. From Mental Health assessments, initial screenings to therapy in a personalised, but cost effective way. We offer a “one stop shop” approach, alongside working in partnership with our sister company, Emotional Problem Solving, the other services we offer include training and research, as well as therapy.

EHCP Mental Health Assessment

This involves the MHA and IS listed above plus:
● Recommendations to improve mental health and wellbeing.
● Needs identified within education for mental health wellbeing
● Outcomes within SMART objectives
Clients need to allow up to an hour and a half for assessments (x3 for EHCP). Whilst this is assessed by Lavinia, this is completed using SMART objectives by Ellie (SEN Consultant). Clients should be willing for the report to be written and sent to the client, their GP, and if needed a 3rd party (e.g. referral company). Reading 1 professional report can be included, more than 1 will require extra charges for the clinician’s time.
Educational Support Consultation (1x 1hr)
This one hour consultation is with Ellie, who is a qualified Teacher and has lived SEN and mental wellbeing experiences. She looks at where to go next with school with support for your child, using her knowledge and understanding from studying and working within education.
Ellie will support families about approaching schools around their child’s needs, advising on reasonable adjustments, and other educational based queries you might have. She can also support parents with Educational Health Care Plans (EHCP) questions and advice, in supporting the family in advocating for their child.
Individual Clinician/Education Consultant (1hr sessions)
If appointments are not booked via a package they will be invoiced per session. These will be booked first come first served, no ongoing date/time can be reserved this way. Additional phone/text support can be offered and will be invoiced separately.
Parent's may find it useful having a Professional or Clinician attend Professional Meetings due to their professional background, knowledge & experience. Parent's can choose Lavinia (Mental Health), Ellie (SEN Consultant), or Steve (Retired Head Teacher) to advocate on their behalf.
*Education Consultant reports can be written for Schools or as part of your EHCP/IEP
