Too far away?
I am based in South West Scotland and also work in the North of England. I can travel by arrangement. I am happy to provide virtual consultations and assessments by telephone, Skype, FaceTime or similar methods. See details in My Services below...
My Services
Telephone and Virtual Consultations
- Free initial 15 minute call to discuss your needs. We can do the same via email or text if this is more convenient.
- Focussed half hour consultation for a specific issue- for example to provide guidance about equipment, but can be for any issue you wish. A list of recommendations to follow can be included.
- Virtual assessment. A bespoke assessment using 'real- time' video technology such as Skype, via email using photographs or whatever method works best. This can be helpful to allow me to provide suggestions for equipment or adaptations. A written report will be provided.
There is no substitute for a face-to-face consultation but there are situations when it is not possible and one of these options may be helpful to provide the information you need.
Assessment Visits
A comprehensive assessment carried out at your home, workplace or wherever is appropriate for the issue you are looking for help with. Assessments typically last up to two hours and I will then provide a full report or a condensed list of recommendations as you prefer. The assessment visit may be a 'one-off' or we may agree further sessions, for example, to demonstrate equipment or to carry out a rehabilitation programme.
The cost of your visit will be provided in writing following an initial discussion by telephone or email.
Individual Therapy Programmes
A therapy programme for rehabilitation or to address an issue you choose can be agreed following an initial assessment. Each client has individual needs and preferences and I will make every effort to offer a programme that suits your needs and is at a convenient time for you. A mixture of face-to-face and virtual sessions, using Skype or similar can be arranged if you prefer.
