Family consultation

Where a family feels they would like individual support to address a particular challenge, individual consultation sessions can be offered. In an initial session lasting one hour we would work together to develop an understanding, or ’formulation’ of the presenting difficulty. This formulation would be presented verbally during the session and a written summary provided afterwards. If it is agreed that further intervention seems useful and the family wish to pursue further sessions, this will be negotiated at the time on an individual basis. The goal, however, is for a time-limited intervention and long-term therapeutic work is not offered.
