Telephone and online consultations

Telephone consultations are available as an alternative to face-to-face meetings; but do not replace a full behavioural assessment.

To be as helpful as I can, and establish what you are struggling with, the first 10  minute informal chat is free. We then agree what further support and advice you will need. This is charged by the amount of time given and resources provided. Ongoing online and telephone support sessions can also be booked, using a variety of media. £45-50 per session.
