Starting Art Psychotherapy

Initial Steps

For Adults: Initially we can arrange a free 45 minute online consultation. If you then decide you would like to try a one off in-person or online session we will arrange this together and it will be charged at the session rate. If you then decide you would like to start a course of therapy I will send you an Art Therapy Information Form, a Contract & Consent Form and Personal Details Form to read, sign and fill in, after which we would begin in-person or online for an agreed short term period - I usually recommend 6 sessions - after which we can review if we should continue for a longer term.

For Children and Adolescents: As the parent or carer we can arrange a free 45 minute online or in-person Parent/s/Carer Consultation together without your child. If you would then like to proceed I offer a 50 minute Initial Child/Adolescent Session (in-person or online, depending on the agreed therapy provision mode) which would be charged at the session rate. If myself and your child are happy to proceed on to therapy I would send you an Art Therapy Information Form (parent/carer and child versions), a Parent/Carer Consent Form, a Contract and Personal Details Form to read, sign and fill in. We can then begin a short period of therapy - I usually recommend six sessions which can be a sufficient amount of time to decide whether myself and your child can form a positive therapeutic relationship.  We can then meet for a 50 minute online Parent Review at ‎£40 or a 50 minute in-person meeting charged at ‎£50 to decide whether an ongoing course of therapy would be helpful for your child. Therapy for children is most successful when there is greater parent/carer involvement and so Periodic Parental Consultation Sessions can also be an option and discussed.
