At The Orchard Child Psychology Service, we offer a transparent and fixed pricing structure for the families we work with.

All fees will be discussed with you at the initial telephone consultation and will be regularly reviewed throughout your child’s treatment journey.

Initial Telephone Consultation – FREE
Upon receiving an initial query, we will contact you to agree a convenient time for an initial brief free telephone consultation. This will allow us to find out a bit more about the difficulties that have prompted you to get in contact with us and discuss how we can help. We will explain the appointment and answer any questions or concerns you may have. At the end of this phone call we can arrange an initial assessment appointment, if we both agree that this would be helpful.
