I am considering 1 to 1 support for my Child where do I start?
 

Contact us on 07512 718500 or email kathryn@kangaroofamilynurturing.co.uk to book your FREE 30 minute consultation. Following the consultation, you can decide if you would like to go ahead with some support. 

How frequently will sessions be and how long will they last?

Sessions for Children are usually weekly initially in order to build up a consistent, trusting relationship and are between 35- 45 minutes depending on your Child's age. 
The length of time they will access support will very much depend on the circumstances and complexity of the reason for needing support. We usually begin with 6 sessions and review whether more sessions will be needed. For more complex issues longer term support will be required. 

What happens during the sessions?
 

We work in a child-led way and provide a range of Play and Creative Arts materials from which your child is in control of choosing what they wish to engage with each session.

The first few sessions are centred around building a trusting therapeutic relationship with your child in order for them to be able to explore their difficult feelings/ life events in a safe way.

We work in a non-directive way initially, depending on yours and your Child's outcomes for attending support we may introduce some more directive activities/ strategies to build your child's resilience to future stressors and equip them with coping strategies.

​

​

Where will the sessions be held?
 

This will be agreed at initial parent meeting.

Sessions need to be carried out in a safe, confidential space. 

They can be held at our base, Oakwood Therapy Centre, Crawshawbooth or in your Child's school/ childcare setting where appropriate.

Alternative settings can be arranged if more convenient for you.

How much will sessions cost?
 

Session costs can vary depending on the type of support required and where the sessions are to be carried out, as travel costs will apply when outside of Rossendale, therefore the cost will be agreed at initial consultation. 

How soon should I start to see some benefit from the support?
 

This is very much dependant on the circumstances and needs your child has, you may notice that your child's behaviour can escalate in the short term whilst they work through their difficult feelings this is perfectly normal and we will support you with how to best manage this.
