Finding the right behavioural therapist
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.
What they do
A behavioural therapist will carry out a functional assessment to understand the triggers, patterns, and purposes behind your child's behaviour. They develop individualised behaviour support plans and teach both children and parents practical strategies. Approaches might include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), positive behaviour support (PBS), or specific anxiety management techniques.
When to seek help
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.
What to expect
The therapist will usually meet with parents first to gather a detailed history, then observe your child in their usual settings. Therapy often involves both child sessions and parent coaching — because the adults around a child play a crucial role in supporting behaviour change. Expect a minimum of 6 to 8 sessions, with strategies to implement between appointments.
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.
