Connected Consultations

Personalised Parental Support

Connected Consultations are a safe, confidential space for any parent or caregiver who would like to talk through their concerns and gain insights and clarity into what may be going on for your child.

In these one-on-one sessions, Anna or Susanne connect with you for a private 50 minute video consultation, dedicated to understanding and supporting your unique parenting concerns and goals.

In preparation and to make the most of our time with you, a pre consultation questionnaire is part of your booking process. We will then explore everything together in our consultation, so that you can receive targeted guidance that’s relevant to your specific parenting journey.
