Parenting Support Consultations
If you would like to book an individual parenting consultation with Andrea Loewen Nair or another member of our Connect Four Parenting Counsellor team, please read through the following.
In order to best help you and your family, we have created a system to gather information, get to know you, and create an action plan to facilitate achieving your goals.
We conduct our face-to-face time consultations using Skype. This has proven to be quite effective so everyone can be present for the appointment in the comfort of your home, without needing to get a babysitter. It is best if all of the people involved in the primary care of the child are present. If you have a Skype recorder, you are welcome to record our chat (but not share that with anyone).
Each client will be given a client-number, which you will use to fill in your forms. This way, any information that is being sent electronically or through the mail does not have your identifying information and can be kept confidential. Once your material is received, it is printed, placed into a file that goes in a locked filing cabinet, and deleted electronically.
How to Book a Consultation
First, decide on the type of support you need. Do you have a quick question or would you like to have more help? We’ve create a selection of packages to cover your needs! Please note that the services provided are by a registered/ certified counsellor or psychotherapist, and may be covered by your extended health-care provider or employer. The prices below are based on the average fee for a mental health professional, which is $100 per hour.
