Consultation Services

We provide consultation to parents/caregivers, educators, and other professionals. Consultation usually involves an interview and discussion around a specific concern or question.  The goal of a consultation is to gather  information and problem-solve collaboratively in order to work towards a desired outcome. When providing consultation to parents/caregivers, we work primarily from an Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) perspective, and also draw upon other ideas like positive parenting, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and collaborative problem solving. Consultation is flexible and may involve a single session, or multiple sessions depending on needs.

Parents often seek consultation to explore:

• Navigating big emotions

• Managing challenging behaviours

• Questions about family dynamics

• Building parenting skills and strategies

• What kinds of treatments or supports may be helpful

Other topics for consultation include:

• Supporting learning needs at home or at school

• Implementing strategies or interventions in a school setting

• Individual Education Plan development

• Supporting behaviours or emotions at school
