Parent Consultations
A parent consultation is a dedicated space for you to talk through your child's speech, language or communication — without the pressure of committing to an assessment or a block of therapy. Consultations can be held in person or online, whichever works best for your family.
What is a Parent Consultation?
Sometimes what you need most is not an assessment or a course of therapy — it is someone with the right expertise to sit down with you, listen to your concerns and help you make sense of where things stand. A parent consultation gives you exactly that. We talk through your child's strengths and needs, I share my clinical perspective, and together we think through what would help most right now. You leave with clarity on where you are, where you are heading, and what the realistic next steps look like. There is no obligation to book anything further.
What We Cover
Understanding your child's profile
We talk through what you are noticing at home, what has been said by school, other professionals or the GP, and what your instincts are telling you. I help you build a clearer picture of your child’s communication strengths and any areas of difficulty, and explain what these might mean in practical terms.
Making sense of reports and diagnoses
If your child has already had assessments or received a diagnosis, it can be hard to know what it all means for them day to day. I can help you unpick reports, explain clinical language in plain terms and think through what the findings mean for your child specifically.
Planning your next steps
Whether you are wondering whether to seek a formal assessment, thinking about school support, navigating EHCP processes or simply trying to decide what to do first, I can help you think it through and leave with a clear sense of direction.
Practical strategies to use at home
Even without a full therapy programme in place, there is often a great deal you can do at home to support your child’s communication. I share targeted, realistic strategies that fit into your everyday life and give you something concrete to take away from the session.
In Person or Online
In Person
Sessions take place in my home clinic close to Bicester. Having your child present is welcome but not required — some parents find it easier to talk freely without their child in the room, and that is completely fine.
Online
Online consultations are available to families anywhere in the UK. They are conducted via a secure video call and are just as thorough as an in-person session. Online works particularly well if you have limited time, live further afield or simply find it easier to talk from home.
