In addition to psychotherapy with children and young people, Milburn Psychology Practice  is able to provide parent/carers consultations. In Dr Milburn’s experience, sometimes parents and carers just want a space to think through their concerns so that they can arrive at new ideas and ways of relating to their child.

 

Parent/carer consultations are also helpful if the child or young person is very unsure about coming into therapy, or if there is a worry that bringing the child to see a professional might feel too ‘blaming’ for them or, if the child is very young.

 

When a child in is individual psycotherapy it can also be helpful for the parents/carers to have parallel therapeutic input so they can  better understand their child's needs and difficulties in order to  equip them with skills to support their child at home.
