We pride ourselves on working head and shoulders above others, to offer care, expertise, knowledge and experience at the time your child needs it most. We have set ourselves high standards so you can feel confident that you are gaining what you would expect from an independent service. We are here for every child from 2 to 25 years, who might need our help.

No red tape, no criteria, no closed doors.

Above all things, we are motivated by your child and for the time that we are with him or her, or talking to you or their teachers or other members of your child’s team, then he or she is our sole concern. We are constant advocates for the children we work with and this approach is shared by every member of the Now, Next & Then team.

Meet our team

We work collaboratively as a whole team or stand-aloneif only one of us is needed. 

We have the skills to help with the unpicking of your child’s challenges, the professional knowledge to explain them and the ‘problem-solving know how’ to guide what to do about them. We always bring bucketloads of playfulness to make sure our appointments are fun, as well as compassion to celebrate your child’s strengths and successes, and yours too.
