About behavioural therapists
Behavioural therapists work with children whose behaviour is causing significant difficulty — at home, at school, or in social situations. This isn't about labelling children as 'naughty'. It's about understanding what's driving the behaviour (often anxiety, sensory overload, or unmet needs) and finding practical strategies that work.
If your child has frequent meltdowns that feel disproportionate to the trigger, if they're struggling with anxiety that affects daily life, if school are raising concerns about behaviour, or if family life has become dominated by managing difficult situations, a behavioural therapist can help. They're particularly valuable for children with autism or ADHD whose behaviour is often misunderstood.
SEND services in Edinburgh
In Scotland, the SEND system works differently from England. Instead of EHCPs, children with additional support needs receive Individualised Educational Programmes (IEPs) or Co-ordinated Support Plans (CSPs). Edinburgh Council's Additional Support for Learning team coordinates provision across the city's schools. Scotland has its own legal framework under the Education (Additional Support for Learning) Act 2004.
Typical costs
Private behavioural therapy sessions typically cost between £60 and £120 per hour. Some therapists offer packages that include parent training, school visits, and follow-up support. CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) offer free provision via the NHS, but waiting times are often 12 months or more.
