Most often when we receive referrals, they are from families or services seeking ongoing therapy or a block of sessions with a therapist for their child. Alternatively, we do have some referrals where a family may be seeking a consultation to discuss their child’s needs, and they are unsure if this will progress to therapy for the child.

Parent Progress Sessions:

Throughout your child's therapy journey with us, we provide regular feedback on their progress. We want to work with the whole family to ensure that they feel informed and a part of the journey with their child, and we can assess the effectiveness of the therapy within the home or school context as well. Within the progress sessions we discuss what themes are coming up for the child in their sessions and any positive changes that we could implement in the home/school context to support the child outside of their therapy sessions. 

Consultation Sessions:

For parents seeking additional support or may be seeking advice, we offer guidance and resources tailored to your child. We have therapists in our service who can facilitate one on one or group training programs such as "Bringing Up Great Kids," “Filial Therapy” "Circle of Security," and "Theraplay."

In addition to this, some families may have just one issue or a topic they’d like to discuss with a therapist. These families may book a short-term intervention or ongoing consultation sessions with a therapist without the need for their child to attend therapy. 

In these circumstances we can begin by booking in a 30- or 60-minute consultation so the parent can discuss their child’s behaviours of concern or their worries with us and we can make an informed decision on steps forward from there.  This holistic approach helps us determine what type of therapy with us or with another service would be most appropriate.
