What are Child Support Sessions?
Some children and young people benefit from practical, relational support that focuses on everyday regulation, confidence and routines.
Our Child Support Sessions are delivered in clinic by Nikki Hammal, SEND Specialist, and are designed to provide structured, nurturing support grounded in psychological understanding.
Nikki works closely with — and is clinically guided by — our Educational and Clinical Psychology team. Sessions are informed by the child’s assessment findings and psychological formulation, ensuring that strategies are tailored, coherent and consistent with the wider recommendations.
These sessions are best suited for children and young people who:
-
Are aged 8–18
-
Are attending school (even if they are finding this difficult)
-
Would benefit from support with emotional regulation, anxiety, confidence, routines or coping skills
-
Can engage in structured but supportive one-to-one sessions
Child Support Sessions are particularly helpful for children who are managing education but need additional support to develop regulation skills, resilience and practical strategies alongside it.
Sessions are 50 minutes and charged at £70 per session.
To ensure that support is psychologically informed and appropriately targeted, either our Comprehensive Pre-Screener or one of our full assessments must be completed prior to commencing sessions. This allows Nikki to work from an established formulation and ensures continuity across the multidisciplinary team.
