Consultation provides a means to sift through and discuss topics such as relationship difficulties, child development, understanding a loved one with mental illness, loss and change, creative blocks, stress management and clarifying personal goals.
 
It provides an opportunity to ask questions and access professional input in a format that is often brief, lasting from one to a handful of sessions.
 
Consultation provides a way for clients to seek guidance and information during challenging times. One may use consultation as support for the bumps in the road that can be anticipated in the course of any development, not only for clinical concerns.
