Arrangements and Fees

Play Therapy sessions are booked in a block of 15 and they are 40 minutes each with a cost of £50 per session.

This includes the initial parent meeting , a parent review meeting at session 7 and parent end meeting with an end report. I will liaise with the school and gather the necessary background and SDQ-Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire scoring by which we are able to measure progress. The client then has 12 sessions and may at the review meeting, if it is thought beneficial after discussions with parents add more sessions where necessary.

Bespoke Empowered Parenting Training

Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs in the world with no training! Both as a Play Therapist, teacher and a parent myself I share strategies. Theses strategies are based on child development theory which create a toolkit you can use. These interactive and supportive sessions are tailored towards your needs. After an initial conversation where we talk about what you would benefit from I create and deliver the training that best suits your needs.

What Parents Say

Randa brought her trademark compassion, insight and many year’s experience to our session, not to mention her carefully considered session plan. I felt both eager and somewhat nervous about going deeper – what would we discover? Randa created a safe-enough space for us to step back from the daily busyness; to reflect on what we say and do (or not) as parents and why. Randa balanced useful child development concepts that acted as a gateway for better understanding our daughter with real life scenarios and experiences. Her style is very conversational, respectful and down to earth. I trust in Randa and couldn’t recommend her approach and the parenting sessions that she offers more highly.
