Mollie is skilled in using creative approaches to develop a positive therapeutic relationship and engage children and young people to share their inner worlds.

Consultation

Mollie offers consultations for parents, carers and those working with young people. Consultations offer a brief solution-focused opportunity to discuss what is working well, in addition to current concerns.

Mollie uses her knowledge of psychological theory to help make sense of the problem and to reflect on possible next steps. Consultations are typically offered as a one-off session, although a review consultation may be offered following the initial consultation. Consultations can be offered via telephone, Zoom or in person.
