You shouldn’t have to get in touch just to find out what an ordinary consultation costs. Where the work depends on how many documents there are or how complex things are, prices start from a stated figure and the full fee is agreed before I begin.

If you’re unsure, start with The SEND Surgery.
Not sure whether I am the right person to help? Book a free 15-minute fit call. Tell me briefly what’s happening and I’ll let you know whether one of my services is likely to be useful, which one, or whether another professional would be better placed to help.
Please note: the free call is for checking which service suits you, rather than detailed SEND advice.
One problem. One focused hour. Clear next steps.
The signature service. A 60-minute specialist consultation for parents who need help making sense of a SEND situation. Bring me the problem. We’ll work out what matters and what needs to happen next.
The SEND Surgery includes a brief look at one or two key documents if you send them in advance. Where there are several reports or a large amount to read, the Document Clarity Review or Assessment & Report Review is the right service, so that the reading time is properly covered.
A shorter session for families I have already worked with. It isn’t available as a first appointment.
Some situations involve multiple needs, extensive evidence or several agencies, and need more time than a standard consultation. Complex case consultations are available by request, with the scope and fee agreed in advance.
Because the practice is deliberately small, I take on complex work selectively, so that I only accept cases I can give proper time to.
These services include reading time before we meet, then a consultation to go through what I found.
What the paperwork means, what matters and which questions you may need to ask.
“From £145” covers a defined document review. Where there are extensive reports or a large evidence bundle, I will agree the scope and price with you before I start. This is educational SEND consultancy and does not constitute legal advice.
Already have reports but don’t know what they mean for school? This service translates professional findings into practical educational implications. It reviews assessments that other professionals have already completed. It is not an assessment of your child.
Larger bundles, or several reports, may cost more. The fee is agreed before I begin.
For parents approaching an EHCP annual review who want to go in clear about what has changed, what is working and what needs to be raised.
Meeting attendance is not included. Where there is a very large evidence bundle, I will quote separately.
Educational preparation and evidence support, not legal representation. I can’t guarantee the outcome of a request for assessment.
An educational and psychometric assessment carried out by me, within my current professional scope. It builds a clear picture of how your child learns, where the difficulties lie and what should help in school.
The assessments I choose depend on the question we are trying to answer. Not every test is used for every child.
A Specialist Learning Profile is not a diagnostic dyslexia assessment and does not provide a formal diagnosis of dyslexia. It is also different from the Assessment & Report Review, which looks at assessments other professionals have already done.
I hold CPT3A and am on the BPS Register of Qualifications in Test Use (Test User: Educational), and I have extensive experience of access arrangements from inside schools.
Exam access arrangements depend on appropriate evidence, on the school or exam centre and on the current examination regulations. Buying an assessment does not automatically secure arrangements. Please get in touch first so we can check this is the right route.
Full diagnostic dyslexia assessment will be available following completion of my Assessment Practising Certificate. I am not taking bookings for this yet.
For students with ADHD, autism, SpLD, anxiety or executive-functioning difficulties who know they should revise but can’t organise it on their own. This is revision planning, not tutoring. More about GCSE revision planning.
A consultation with the parent and young person to identify the barriers, the priorities and the revision approach most likely to work.
A revision system built around the student’s subjects, exam boards, gaps, attendance history, confidence and SEND profile.
More extensive multi-subject plans are quoted individually, depending on scope. Follow-up reviews are available to existing clients at £50 for 30 minutes. Ongoing weekly tutoring is not offered.
Most families use The SEND Surgery to organise educational evidence and find clear examples of everyday functional impact. If you need a substantial set of documents reviewing, the document review fees apply. This is evidence-organisation support, not welfare-rights, legal or financial advice. More about DLA/PIP support.
Meeting attendance may occasionally be available by prior agreement and subject to availability, for example a SENCO meeting, annual review or multi-agency meeting. Where offered, the guide rate is £110 per hour, with substantial preparation or document review charged separately. I don’t provide routine representation or advocacy.
If you’re unsure where to start, The SEND Surgery is designed for exactly that. Bring the problem. We’ll identify what matters, what needs clarifying and what your next steps could be.

The SEND Practice is intentionally small, and appointments are released in selected evenings, weekends and school holidays.
