About Consultation Services

The Budding Elm Consultation services include the provision of out-of-office onsite counselling & clinical support, workshops, training & psycho-education. Consultation services are available to community agencies, schools & organizations in Victoria & the greater Victoria area. Support may include the delivery of onsite counselling, workshops, clinical supervision & small focus groups.

Types of Consultation Services:

 

Onsite Assessment, Counselling & Clinical Supervision

 

Upon request, Clinical Director Dr. Elmhurst offers an initial consultation to determine whether onsite assessment, counselling and clinical supervision is right for you. Our onsite services are delivered to external community organizations and schools when apparent barriers to the provision of our in-house counselling exist. 

Please contact us at info@thebuddingelm.com to discuss if the onsite delivery of our mental health counselling will help in your endeavour to meet your onsite mental health collective. 

 

Training & Workshops

 

Our collective team at The Budding Elm is expanding to provide onsite mental health training, education, and workshops. These services are offered to non-profit agencies, schools and community organizations within Victoria and the Greater Victoria area. The Budding Elm workshops and training provide larger scale community support in the delivery of mental health prevention, skill development and psychoeducation.
