Family Counselling (Parents Only)

This service serves two purposes. First, it should be used for the first appointment with your child because our standard procedure is to have the first appointment with the parent(s) only.

 

This is the best way to fully support your child and for us to gather the family information we need to best support your child/ family. Second, this service can be used to book parent consultation/coaching appointments or appointments where only parents are present.

 

Appointments, where parents are present, are invoiced to the parent(s).

Family Counselling (Parents
& Children)

This service is for families looking to work on family-related challenges. This may include challenges between family members, parental issues, sibling issues, and other family issues.

 

Not all family members need to be present. It is best, to begin with at least two family members

 

(e.g., a child and one or both parents; two adults) and let your therapist decide which relationship(s) to bring into counseling.
