Parent consultation is a therapeutic method in which treatment is conducted indirectly, through the parents. In other words, it is the parents who see the therapist. This approach is common for treating children of tender ages. For more mature children, it is common to combine individual therapy with parent consultation in order to explore the challenges of parenting and supporting children and young people at various ages and stages of development. Some topics include; encouraging an emotionally healthy child, managing the emotional and behavioural needs of your child, supporting your child's development.
