Dr. Kathleen Reay consults worldwide with parents, grandparents, adult-children of divorce, other family members, legal professionals and mental health professionals by telephone or internet (typically Skype) besides conducting consultations in person.  The time available for such consultations is extremely limited in order to allow Dr. Reay ample time to devote to her seminar engagements, research, writing, and other professional obligations. These types of consultations are suitable for parents and grandparents who seek Dr. Reay’s assistance with the understanding that she will not participate in litigation as a testifying expert witness.  In some circumstances, Dr. Reay may need to review documents (such as evaluation reports) prior to or during the telephone or internet consultation. Some clients prefer to schedule two consultations to allow enough time for Dr. Reay to review documents followed by discussion of materials reviewed.

Telephone and internet consultations provides parents the special opportunity to obtain  individual, personal guidance, support and insight from Dr. Reay about their family situation. Where there is a concern about children (young or adult) who are alienated or at risk of becoming alienated from a parent or grandparent, Dr. Reay will offer her understanding of the situation and about how best to proceed to build or restore positive parent-child relationships. For parents involved in custody or access disputes, Dr. Reay will suggest strategies to assist the parent in helping the court understand the relevant issues and remedies available.

It is very important to keep in mind that telephone and internet consultations are not a form of counselling or psychotherapy.  Both types of consultations are not intended to act as a substitute for therapy, and are not covered by extended medical or insurance carriers.

The time slots are on a first-come, first-serve weekly to bi-monthly basis dependent on Dr. Reay’s caseload at the time. She regrets not being able to consult with all interested individuals given the constraints of her schedule. Payment is required prior to the start of the scheduled telephone/internet consultation. Fees are payable by Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, or Amex. For more information, please contact our office.
