Problem-solving consultation

What does it involve?

A free 15-minute initial phone call to explore your concerns and outline how I might help.

If you wish to proceed, we’ll arrange a 1 hour 30-minute consultation, either:

  • In your home
  • At your child’s school (if appropriate)
  • Or remotely via telephone/video

This session is a space for us to collaboratively problem-solve any difficulties your child or young person is experiencing. We’ll think together about causes, needs, and strategies to help move forward.
