Consultation services

What is a consultation?

In a consultation, Emily will be the measured ear and voice that any parent needs. With such a breadth of understanding of human development and behaviour, Emily can tease out complex issues and provide an appropriate balance of education and support for whatever you and your child need. Emily's approach ensures positive long term development whilst giving practical shirt-term solutions to meet everyone's needs right now. The types of knowledge and understanding Emily brings to her consultations are listed below.
