Consultation

With parents
I am pleased to discuss how to find help for you and your child or teenager.  It may be difficult for you to know just how concerned to be about the problems you are experiencing.  Thinking the situation through together can suggest possible ways forward.

With professionals
I offer advice by thinking with you about a child’s or young person’s difficulties and history, and discussing what approach might be helpful.  Having greater clarity about the often complex situation of the child or young person you are working with can contribute to a much more informed approach.

With public sector commissioners
As a commissioner, you may be looking for assessment and treatment in the independent sector for a troubled child or young person.  I have long experience of referrals from the public sector where specialist longer-term psychotherapy is being sought.  We can develop a bespoke service agreement together in relation to the needs of a particular child or young person, and the network of family, carers and other professionals around them.
