The network of CfED Associates enables the service to work at the level of the individual adult, child or young person, the couple, the whole family and the organisation.

A consultation with an experienced practitioner will help to think about the difficulties experienced at times of distress and confusion. It can be helpful in its own right, or it may result in a decision to explore matters further.

Clients reach CfED through many channels: through referrals from GPs, social services, schools, counselling organisations and professional colleagues, by word of mouth or through the Internet.

Many clients refer themselves or their child, or family. Some arrive with an idea of the type of therapy they prefer. However, many clients need a period of consultation to talk through their concerns, and how best to address them, before making a decision regarding treatment.
