What will it look like?
- A series of face to face meetings with Rod Chamberlain
- And, in time, perhaps one or more of our specialist Associates
- A lot of talking (you) and listening/writing (them)
- Much thought (both)
- Serious empathy (them), particularly if your situation is painful
- Nevertheless, frequent laughter (both)
- Much homework (you, sometimes them).
Think of your Consultant as a General Practitioner (except that you're not ill)
- He'll be there to listen to any issues and questions you bring, big or small
- He will treat them all with equal seriousness and in complete confidence
- And yes, he does do out-of-hours and weekends
- He'll give an active and responsive diagnosis
- He'll use his own skills and experience to address about 90% of your needs
- He'll call on specialist expertise to cover the rest
- He'll take responsibility for them within the overall relationship
- He'll have a quality assurance scheme to assure his performance
and
- When it's all over they won't forget you
- You may even find you have made a lasting friendship!
