Support for Individuals
Trauma responsive one-to-one creative and talking therapies, available to children, young people and adults.
We are a Not-for-Profit organisation. As such, we offer price points between £40 and £65 per session and ask people to consider their situation and pay what they are financially able. Any price between £40 and £65 is an option, so it could be £42, £47 or £61 is the right fee for you. Operating this system allows us to provide the same sessions and level of support to all who use our service, regardless of what an individual can pay. This creates an organisation that ensures access to mental health
support for those who need it, rather than just those who don’t face financial restrictions.
The amount you pay will not be means-tested; we operate on a system of trust that you will pay what you can afford. Every pound coming into Village Orchard East helps us continue our work. We will send out invoices monthly to cover the sessions you have received. Your initial appointment is free.
The sessions will take place at our rooms in Carrow House.
The Process
Step 1: Contact Us
Contact us using our referral contact form. Our administrator will contact you as soon as possible to arrange your initial assessment. Assessments happen during office hours, Monday through Friday, between 08:00 and 17:00, and depend on practitioner availability. We will always endeavour to find a time/date within these times that suits you.
Step 2: Initial Assessment
This is for you to attend and speak freely about the issues so we can determine which of our therapists would be most suitable. Assessments last between an hour and an hour and a half. If you are contacting us on behalf of your child and they are over the age of 11 it can be useful for your child to come to the appointment too so they can share their experiences. However, we understand that in certain circumstances, it would be preferable for you to come on your own for this initial assessment. If you would like to come on your own, please confirm that they have consented for you to come and that they have agreed to come to therapy.
If your child is under 11 then they will not be required to attend.
Step 3: Join the Waitlist
After your assessment, you will join the waitlist. You will be advised how long we expect the wait to be so you can make an informed choice about your care in the meantime.
Step 4: Start your sessions
When you/your child gets to the top of the waitlist, you will be contacted by a therapist to offer you a session.
Step 5: End Your Sessions
You can get up to 24 sessions with us which can be extended with agreement if more support is required.
You can re-refer to us if you need support again.
