The Ashwood Practice Consultation Services

The Ashwood Practice believes that the primary context for therapeutic healing is in the relationships between children / young people and those who look after them and work with them on a day to day basis to promote their development and well being. As a consequence we put great emphasis on the value of consultation as a means of offering parents, carers, social workers, teachers and others a psychological perspective that can give meaning to behaviour and increased understanding of presenting difficulties as well as assist in developing appropriate strategies for responding.


Consultation offers a space to reflect and think in a non-judgmental environment about issues and problems that have become troubling and stuck. It provides an opportunity for learning and it is empowering and effective in producing change.


The Ashwood Centre provides consultation in a number of forums:

• Foster Carers – caring for traumatised children
• Adoptive Parents – caring for traumatised children
• Social Workers – Risk Management / Care Planning
• Residential Carers – team building / caring for traumatised children / managing services therapeutically / emotional containment
• Teachers – child development problems / autistic spectrum disorders / attachment disorders
