CORONAVIRUS UPDATE:
*Until further notice ALL sessions will be held online via Zoom. *All prices are currently discounted to reflect the current situation where income may be unreliable. If your financial situation allows you to pay the full price I invite you to do this. *If your income has suddenly vanished completely, and you need urgent support for this period while your children are at home full time, please contact me to discuss options. I can provide a limited number of fully sponsored (free) sessions per month, or we can arrange delayed payment agreements. Session options: I can currently work with you in one of two different ways: you can either work with me in an individual private session or you can join a course. 1. Individual Sessions: These are for parents with children of any age. We discuss whatever is relevant to you and your family, looking at the individual struggles you are facing within your family, and working to understand better what is going on for each of you within the relationship and how you can make changes that bring about more connection, peace and joy for your whole family. These sessions can focus either on understanding your child and learning how to better support them, or they can focus on what you need as a parent, and your own personal struggles within this role. Often they involve a combination of the two. Pricing: 1 hour: £75 (corona discount £50) 1hr 30 mins: £100 (corona discount £70) 2 hours: £125 (corona discount £90) I usually recommend an initial session of 2 hours. Further sessions can be 1 hour or 1 hour 30 minutes as required. Price is the same for one or two members of the same family attending the session. 2. The Pick 'n' Mix Course For parents of children aged 1-5 years old. This course consists of 8 individual sessions (see topics below). The first two sessions are mandatory, but sessions after that can be attended or not as you wish. For example if food is your concern, you can attend the first two sessions and then attend week 5 only. If you want to learn most about brain development you can attend the first two sessions and then weeks 3 and 4. If you want support with boundaries, you can attend the first two sessions and then weeks 7 and 8. Or if you just want an introduction to understanding your child's behaviour, then you can attend the first two sessions only. Pricing: First two sessions: £60 (corona discount £50) Each individual session: £30 (corona discount £25) Cost for entire course if paid in advance: £190 (corona discount £150) For online courses, a second family member can attend the same course at an additional cost of £10 per session. They must attend the first two sessions of the course to be able to attend any further sessions. Weekly Topics: Weeks 1&2: Understanding toddler behaviour and emotions Week 3: Responsive parenting Week 4: Brain development and play (particularly relevant right now!) Week 5: Eating Week 6: Sleep Week 7: Boundaries part one Week 8: Boundaries part two NB: You may only attend further sessions on the SAME course for which you attended the first two sessions. Course start dates: Tuesday 31st March 7.30pm-10pm, running Tuesday evenings for 8 consecutive weeks Thursday 23rd April 7.30pm-10pm, running Thursday evenings for 8 consecutive weeks Please use the booking form below to book your space. |
"We felt very at ease discussing what is a very sensitive and stressful situation to us. We weren't judged and could talk openly. Very informative, knowledgable, understanding and sympathetic" "Alex was great at catering our one-to-one session perfectly towards us and our twins. We felt totally at ease discussing all topics and certainly not judged in any sense. The open discussion really enabled us to think through the various approaches we could use in the coming weeks/months/years with Alex guiding us through the material in a totally engaging and expert manner." |
