Who are family support sessions for?

The process

  • Initial free informal chat to check if this service is right for you

  • 1 hour telephone/online/in person meeting 

  • Follow up email highlighting key points and suggestions. 

  • Communication style of your choice 

  • Neuro-affirming service 

  • Understanding and compassionate

  • Trauma informed response 


How do I get started?

Once you have decided you would like further support, arrange a no-obligation 20 minute free consultation call to discuss your child's presenting concerns. Any additional information will support us in providing the best care possible. We will also discuss fees, safeguarding and confidentiality. 

After this no-obligation consultation, you can book a mutually convenient appointment using JaneApp (we can help with this or book on your behalf if required.)

Face to Face appointments will be held at: 

1st Floor, Office 3, 1a Asquith Avenue, Morely, Leeds, LS27 9QA.

We will be as adaptable with methods of communication as we can be in order to reduce anxiety and time stress wherever possible. 

We will aim to have the report completed 3 weeks after the final appointment. 

How can you prepare for the session?

We understand that it can be scary meeting someone new and can stir up big emotions when looking at the needs of our children. At Lighthouse Therapy Hub we aim to make everyone feel as welcome as possible. Please advise if there are any reasonable adjustments we can make for you. 

We truly believe that the parents are the experts on their child, your voice will be heard but to make the most out of your experience, it may be worth keeping a diary and collecting evidence before the appointment such as school work, items from home and art work.

Why not join our members area where you can browse the resources and downloads? This may help unpick the highest areas of need whilst awaiting your appointment, or help reduce the effects the issue is having on the family.

A 1 hour session is £45
