What is Psychological Consultation?
Psychologist consultation is a collaborative service in which a psychologist provides expert guidance, insight, and recommendations to support individuals, families, organizations, or other professionals. It focuses on understanding specific concerns, offering psychological perspectives, and assisting with informed decision-making rather than providing ongoing therapy. Consultation may address areas such as mental health, behaviour management, workplace dynamics, or system-level challenges. The goal is to enhance understanding, build capacity, and support effective, ethical responses to complex situations.
