How do I know this is right for my child or teen?

While most children find the sessions fun, engaging, helpful and a safe and happy place to be, it is important to ensure that your child or young teen feels comfortable and that sessions are appropriate for their particular needs. Therefore:

  • Before the session, a phone conversation (free of charge) is offered to discuss your child or teen’s needs.
  • An introductory first session is offered at a reduced rate of £10, with time to further discuss your child’s needs and explore some fun initial activities.
  • This will give them a chance to get to know me and we can all explore if I’m a good fit for your child. You will also have some helpful activities to continue with and I can suggest other avenues of support if more appropriate.
  • Flexible sessions are available, both short and long term, depending on needs and circumstances. There is never any pressure to continue.

Bespoke 1:1 or small group sessions

  • 1:1 sessions or sessions of 2-3 friends allow for a bespoke service tailored to each child or teen’s particular requirements.
  • Sessions are typically one hour long (or around 45 minutes for young children). I provide you with summaries and potential activities to continue during the week.
  • Sessions are typically weekly. This can be a one-off, short term or long term, all tailored to your needs and requirements.
  • If appropriate, a discounted block of 6 – 8 sessions can be booked at any time
  • Top ups are also available.

Where can sessions take place?

  • Sessions held in the convenience of your own home are available local to the Colchester area.
  • Sessions in your own home may also be possible outside of this area with travel fees applying – enquiries are welcome.
  • Online sessions are also offered for older children and teens, potentially after an initial face to face session if in the local area.

Availability

Sessions are available 6 days a week, Monday to Saturday, during term time and during holiday periods.

On Monday to Friday sessions can generally take place during the day, after school or in the evenings. Monday to Thursday I run sessions until 8 pm, on Friday’s until 6 pm.

I am also available Saturday mornings.

Fees

  • Fees include all assessments, bespoke planning and typical resources. An initial discussion and assessment is free of charge via the telephone.
  • An introductory session is currently available for £10
  • Follow on 1:1 sessions typically from £25-30 per hour (prices for small groups depend on numbers and type of support required).
  • Travel fees may apply according to time.
  • A 5% discount is available for a block booking of 6 – 8 sessions. This can be taken up at any time.

My aim is to ensure that all children and young teens can explore the incredible benefits of mindfulness and a small number of slots are available at a concessionary rate. Enquiries are welcome.
