Initial Consultation prior to Child / Teen Therapy
Hello and welcome…
We know that working with the adults around the child, first and foremost the parents or carers, is often vital to the progress of the child who is engaging in therapy. We have found that providing time at the start of the process can help everyone involved gain a good understanding. This initial consultation enables us to hear all about what is going on in your family and hear the adult’s description of the child’s current presentation and their thoughts about what might be ‘playing out’.
This initial consultation will be with Catherine or Helen the founders of Essere, we will gain a clear ‘family history’ in relation to the child. This is useful, particularly with children who have had a lot happen in their short lives and who are most likely to share this with the therapist via. their play, it helps everyone to get a sense of what may be presented in therapy and can help parents or carers get a clearer understanding, with some helpful ideas of how to support their child/ren.
We recommend this consultation for children accessing therapy aged 16 years and under.
