Jon Blend and Violet OaklanderMy work also draws inspiration from the projective arts approach of my former mentor, Dr Violet Oaklander.

Court work

Please note: I am neither a forensic therapist nor a custody evaluator. My role is to provide psychotherapy and consultation to adults, children and parents who are making changes in their lives or dealing with difficult issues or situations.

It is not my usual practice to become involved with lawyers or legal proceedings.

If, however, I am summonsed to court by subpoena or required to respond to legal directives for other reasons, the fee to the party demanding such services will be £500 per hour for all related activity, including travel. An initial retaining fee of £2,000 is required, payable by BACS.
