How I work
When you ask me to work with your son or daughter, we will begin by discussing why you want me to work with him or her.
To start with, I will discuss your concerns with you, and together, we will agree what steps to take next. This may be consultation with you, individual work with your son or daughter, some counselling, or even a combination of any of these. All my work will be fully and carefully negotiated with you and before I begin we will agree what I will do and what my fees will be.
What happens next is what I call the intervention. This usually involves;
- a full discussion with you about your child and his or her strengths and weaknesses, their difficulties, problems and areas of success,
- an informal discussion with your child about their view of their life and achievements,
- working individually with your child using specialist psychological tests to provide a full assessment of their abilities and of their achievement, and
- a brief verbal feedback to you at the end. (I will send you a full written report afterwards),
- a single session of about two to three hours.
