Frequently Asked Questions
Appointments, sessions, assessments, confidentiality and fees.
Is the 15-minute introductory call really free?
Yes. It is a short call to meet before you book anything. You describe what you have noticed and what worries you; I tell you plainly whether ongoing work is needed and how we would proceed. There is no obligation to continue.
How do I book an appointment?
The quickest way is WhatsApp. You can also use the appointment form or call. Requests are answered within 24 hours.
Do sessions run in English?
Yes. Parent meetings and adolescent sessions can be held in English, and assessment reports can be written in English.
Should my child attend the first meeting?
No. The first meeting is usually with parents only, covering developmental history and what has been tried so far.
How long is a session?
Therapy sessions last 45–50 minutes, usually weekly. Test administration takes between 45 minutes and 2 hours.
Do you offer online sessions?
