Consultancy
Consultancy may take a number of forms and have a variety
of purposes or functions. It is usually offered to agencies
and organisations. It is unlike clinical supervision.
An organisation may present systemic problems to discuss or
seek assistance with groups of staff related to their work
or workplace environment.

more than two generations, may or may not be all living together

divorced, separated, co-habiting or same sex. Family members
may not all attend all sessions- who should and wants to come
will be discussed and negotiated.

Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision refers to supervision in a particular
approach with regard mainly to client work, practice skills
and therapist development. Clinical supervisors will all be
accredited practitioners with their own professional body;
except in ICP where "accreditable" status is acceptable
to the professional body, BACP. This is a formal arrangement
and will be subject to a contract being agreed by the parties
to supervision.

Training
Short training courses or workshops in ICP or CBP/CBT may
be commissioned by arrangement and negotiation.

Letters and Reports
Letters and reports may be requested by clients for employers
or other purposes. The therapist can only provide such letters
or reports within the limits of their particular skillbase
and the confidentiality arrangements agreed with the client
and the commissioner of the therapy (should they be different).
Letters and reports are not generally part of therapy and
require additional agreements with the therapist, ideally
at commencement of therapy. If agreement has not been sought
prior to starting therapy, the therapist will not be bound
to provide such reports. Letters and reports from therapists
are not a substitute for Psychiatric or Psychology reports
and letters.

Contracts
Contracts refer to agreements made with businesses or agencies
to provide a service or training to employees of that business
or agency. These are negotiated with the individual practitioner(s)
on request.
