Parents of students
If you are a parent who is worried about the mental health of their adult child, we can help put your mind at rest. If your young person is willing, we can speak to them and book them in for an initial therapy session. If you wish to pay for their sessions, to allow them to focus on their wellbeing, you can do this online once they are booked in. All of our practitioners are carefully selected by us and we make a number of checks to ensure that they are fully qualified, supervised and insured to provide the therapies they offer.
