Services & Booking
Individuals & Families
Whether making an initial enquiry or ready to make a booking we seek to offer support as soon as possible.
Therapeutic Support can be purchased on a ‘pay as you go’ basis and there are no restrictions on how many sessions can be booked. This allows options to have a one off consultation or be guided over extended periods of time meeting regularly or checking in ad hoc.
For those able to self finance our sessions can be purchased in advance using BACS or Devon Virtual Wallet. Alternately, you may be eligible to receive funded support with further professional referral options listed below.

Professional Referrals
Individuals and families can be referred to our service through various options and by a variety of funders. These can include children’s social services, Children & Family Partnership Early Help, education, charity partnerships and health. Below are packages of support that have been developed to work with either child/young person, parents/carers or family/professionals. During busier periods we experience waiting times for these services and require purchase orders to be confirmed before delivery can commence. For all professional referrals please first get in touch and we’ll help guide options from there.
