Exploration Call
During our 20 min call, we’ll get to know each other and talk through the challenges or questions you’re currently facing as a parent. Together we will agree on next steps and get started on your Behaviour Consultancy journey.
Understanding Your Child
Our work begins with an in-home assessment, usually taking place over a weekend day. This gives me the opportunity to observe your child’s daily routines, transitions, play, communication, emotional regulation, sensory preferences, and interactions with family members within their natural environment.
Alongside observations, we’ll explore your child’s strengths, interests, developmental history, school experiences, current challenges, and your goals as a parent through consultations and questionnaires. Together, this helps build a clear understanding of the factors contributing to behaviour and forms the foundation for an individualised support plan. Prior to my visit I will ask you to fill in SDQ (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire).
Establishing Goals
Following the assessment, we will meet for a reflective consultation feedback where I share my observations, key findings, and recommendations. Together, we identify clear goals for your child and family, focusing on the areas that will make the biggest difference to everyday life.
This consultation forms the basis of your individualised support plan, outlining practical strategies, recommendations, and next steps to help you work towards your goals.
Creating A Support Plan
Following the feedback consultation, you receive an individualised support plan. This may focus on areas such as emotional regulation, boundaries, anxiety, sibling relationships, support to children with SEN, routines, communication, building independence, or resilience. The plan outlines clear recommendations, practical strategies, and achievable next steps to support progress towards your goals. I know this can feel like a lot at first. You won’t be expected to figure everything out on your own. Throughout our work together, you’ll have access to WhatsApp support, allowing you to ask questions, share challenges, and receive guidance as situations arise in everyday life.
Ongoing Support & Long-Term Guidance
Lasting change takes time and support. Over the following two months, I work with you closely through weekly home visits, online consultations, WhatsApp support, and tailored resources. This allows strategies to be adjusted in real time, challenges to be addressed as they arise, and progress to be monitored throughout the process.
