A free 15-minute call
Informal, and with a licensed psychologist. Three or four broad questions about what has been going on — enough to point you at the right person, not enough to need preparing for.
Parents, where it helps
Where a parent or guardian’s consent is needed, that is part of setting the work up, and involvement often is too. How much, and in what way, depends on the young person’s age and on what would actually help them.
Pitched at the age it is for
The same approaches, delivered the way that works for a young child or for a teenager, which are not the same thing. Which clinician they see depends on who is licensed and trained for that age.
What people bring to it
- Anxiety
- OCD
- Big feelings that arrive faster than words

Questions people ask
The ones that come up most often before a first appointment.
Where consent is needed, yes, and often in the work itself — though not in every session, since some of it needs to be the young person’s own. How that is arranged is agreed at the start rather than left ambiguous.
Children and teenagers, with the range depending on the individual clinician's licence and training rather than on a single practice-wide age. The first call is where that gets checked for your child.
