To proceed with the consultation, please book an appointment and pay the consultation fee. In most cases, a second consultation is not necessary. However, depending on the complexity of the issue, a second session may sometimes be required. Whether a second session is needed will become clear during the first consultation, or possibly from the information provided on the online consultation application form. At that point, it will also become clear whether the second session will take place as another online consultation, or whether a personalised written programme will be prepared and sent instead. The latter may be required if the consultant needs to develop a tailored programme with personalised steps, which may include several stages where the order of the steps is important. The fee for the second consultation or written programme is £49.99, if the total time spent on the first consultation and preparing the programme exceeds one hour. It is worth noting that the consultation is not psychological treatment, and its working method is not similar to therapy. The child does not need to attend, and in most cases the consultant does not need to meet or see the child, as the parent’s observations, experiences, situations and reported behaviours are more important. The Joyful Parenting consultant provides parents with practical educational techniques that they can use to help bring about improvement in their child.
The consultant is not a doctor, so their recommendations should not be considered a substitute
for any necessary medical examination or treatment.
