Question 2

Do I need to book a parent consultation before booking a child session?

Accepted Answer

For younger children, a parent consultation is generally recommended before beginning child counselling sessions. This helps create a deeper understanding of the child’s emotional world, strengths, current concerns and wider family context.
Older adolescents may attend independently where appropriate.

Question 3

What happens in a Parent Intake Session for Child Counselling?

Accepted Answer

This initial session is held with the parent or caregiver prior to beginning child counselling. Together, we explore your child’s emotional world, current concerns, strengths, nervous system patterns and wider family context to help create a deeper understanding of what may be happening beneath the surface.

These are not compulsory sessions, but advised so the therapist has time to understand the challenges the child faces prior to sitting with a therapist.

Question 4

Can parents be in a child support session?

Accepted Answer

Parent involvement is often an important part of supporting children and adolescents. Depending on the child’s age and needs, this may include parent consultations, check-ins or collaborative support where appropriate. At the same time, it is also important for children and young people to have space to build trust, safety and emotional expression within their own therapeutic relationship.

Question 5

What happens in a Parent Support Session?

Accepted Answer
