Ask us about this topicFrequently asked questions
Honest answers, in plain language.
If your question isn’t here, send us a note. You don’t need to know the clinical words to ask for help.
Ask a different questionDo we need a diagnosis or referral before booking?
No. Families may request an initial consultation directly. If a referral, medical review, or school report would be helpful, we will explain why and support you with the next step.
What happens in the first appointment?
The first visit is a low-pressure conversation and observation session. We discuss your child’s strengths, current concerns, routines, and goals. Your child can explore the room and engage at their own pace.
Can parents stay during sessions?
Yes. Depending on the child’s comfort and the goal of the session, a caregiver may join, observe, or step out for part of the visit. We agree on this together.
How often will my child attend therapy?
Frequency depends on need, family capacity, and the service. Some children attend weekly, others fortnightly, and some families begin with a short assessment or coaching block.
Do you accept insurance?
Fees and payment arrangements vary by service. Contact us for current rates and any documents you may need when asking your insurer about reimbursement. We share expected costs before care begins.
What is the cancellation policy?
If you need to change an appointment, please contact us as early as possible. Any cancellation terms are explained before your first visit, and illness or genuine emergencies are handled with care and flexibility.
