Helpful when you are not sure whether to do
therapy, coaching, or another process in order to improve a
specific problem. A consultant will help identify the key
information and aid you in making a decision about next
steps - called an ACTION PLAN.
Psychologists know from research that if too
much time lapses between the consultation and taking action, the
person will not do the required work in order to change.
Take the time to put into practice what your
consultant and you have decided. Notice where it works and where it
doesn't. Then keep modifying by trial and error yourself and/or
with follow-up consultations until you have a system that fits you
perfectly.
Consultation may involve one session, several
sessions, and/or follow-up sessions in order to fine-tune the
action plan.
Below are a few examples of how a consultant may be
right for you. In all cases, a consultant
will help you clarify the complexities of a problem(s) and provide
you with an action plan:
You have recently decided to leave your job and are not sure what to do with your life.
You have had the blues on and off for a while. You have been
questioning what to do with your life.
You have been unhappy in your relationship and aren't sure what to do.
