Professional Case Consultation

Bring the case. Get clarity. Move forward. A structured, one-to-one consultation service for practising psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and mental health practitioners.

“The purpose is not simply to discuss the case. It is to help you leave with greater clarity about what to consider next.”

When you need another perspective

Bring the questions that are slowing the case down.

Even experienced practitioners can encounter cases where progress slows, assessment feels incomplete, conceptualisation remains unclear, or the next therapeutic step is difficult to determine.

?How do I develop a comprehensive conceptualisation?
?What factors may be maintaining the presenting concern?
?Which therapeutic framework may be appropriate?
?Why has the client's progress plateaued?
?How can I move the therapy forward?
?Am I overlooking important assessment information?
?How should I structure the next phase?
?When should I consider referral or multidisciplinary support?
The consultation journey

A structured process, from case submission to next steps.

Your fully de-identified case is submitted in advance so consultation time can focus on analysis, professional reflection and practical planning.

Step 01

Select your plan.

Choose a single case consultation or a monthly professional consultation plan.

Single Case Consultation is intended for focused input on one specific case. The Monthly Professional Consultation Plan is designed for practitioners who regularly want structured input across multiple cases.

Step 02

Submit your case.

Receive the IICAP Case Submission Form after booking and submit your case 24–48 hours before the consultation.

The form covers de-identified background, presenting concerns, assessment information, sessions completed, approaches used, progress, goals, bottlenecks and questions.

Step 03

Case review.

The submitted case is reviewed through a structured clinical reasoning pathway before the session.

Presenting Concerns → Assessment → Case Conceptualisation → Maintaining Factors → Therapeutic Goals → Intervention Priorities → Session Planning.

Step 04

One-to-one consultation.

A 45–60 minute professional discussion focused on one primary case.

Case conceptualisation, assessment gaps, maintaining factors, goals, therapeutic approach, evidence-informed interventions, process challenges, upcoming sessions and possible referral or escalation.

The outcome

What you can take away.

Depending on the case, consultation can help clarify the following areas.

Therapeutic direction

Clearer therapeutic priorities and realistic goals for the next phase of work.

Intervention options

Potential evidence-informed approaches, techniques and strategies relevant to the case.

Session planning

A practical direction for upcoming sessions and therapeutic work.

Professional reflection

An opportunity to examine assumptions, identify blind spots and consider alternative perspectives.

Referral awareness

Greater clarity about when additional assessment, specialist input, referral or multidisciplinary care may be appropriate.

Professional responsibility

The treating practitioner retains full responsibility for client care, assessment and clinical decision-making, informed consent, documentation, risk assessment and management, safeguarding, referral and escalation, and compliance with applicable professional, ethical and legal requirements.

IICAP consultation provides professional perspective and case discussion; it does not transfer responsibility for the client’s care from the treating practitioner.
