Our Children & Young People’s Private Therapy Service offers therapy to children aged from 5 years to 18.
We provide a safe, contained and reflective space for young people to express, explore and process difficult emotions and experiences through creative and therapeutic interventions.
We offer children a safe environment where they are free to explore and express themselves and talk about their experiences in order to make sense of their emotional world, to grow and to develop.
Mental health support is currently available from both our Rotherham and Barnsley offices.
We offer an initial assessment at a cost of £25. This is to ensure that this is the appropriate service for the young person and gives the parent/guardian an opportunity to ask questions.
Following the assessment, we work on a basis of 6 sessions of therapy at £40 per session (payable in advance).
A therapy session lasts for 30 to 45 minutes for a 5 to 8 year old, and up to 50 minutes for a 9 to 18 year old. Depending on the needs of the young person, the fee however remains the same.
For further information about the Children and Young Peoples’ service please contact us at the
Rotherham office on 01709 919929 or Barnsley on 01226 211188.
We have also developed a range of training programmes to help teachers identify and deal with students who may be struggling with mental health issues.
