Colin Matthews: Chartered Psychologist

Family Consultations

When you first contact Colin Matthews, he will arrange a consultation appointment with you. This appointment is in order to identify the current situation within your family with regards to any difficulties you might be experiencing.

Family members living in the household experiencing difficulties would be expected to attend this appointment so that everyone's view of the situation might be heard. Colin would expect each family member to respect and listen to the views of the others. He will ask you what has already been tried with regards to the difficulties and who else is involved with the family.

By the end of the consultation, Colin will advise you on how he sees the issues and will discuss with you how they might be resolved. This could involve further appointments for all the family or for individual members.

Family consultation appointments are for 1.5 hours
