“…Herein lies a key distinction between consultation and supervision, as the two must not be conflated (Whitton et al, 2013). There are some shared components of consultation and clinical supervision, such as the use of reflection (Whitton et al, 2013) and an emphasis on developing positive interpersonal professional relationships (Dougherty, 2000). However, the consultant is not responsible for the subsequent practice of the consultee, as would be the case in the supervisor/ supervisee dynamic (Alban & Frankel, 2007; cited in Ghag et al, 2019).…”

“…This may include the consultant themselves, as evidence indicates that when staff perceived the consultant as accessible and competent, they valued the consultation (Mattan & Isherwood, 2009). Moreover, a positive relationship between the consultant and consultee has been identified as a key factor in the outcome of consultation, emphasising the need for a collaborative approach to consultation (Dougherty, 2000). Whilst this offers some insight into effective consultant-consultee dynamics, there is little recent evidence on what specific elements of the consultation are effective.…”

Psychological consultation is a key means of informing care and practice with psychological theory and evidence. The current paper sought to investigate what elements of psychological consultation are useful for social workers when consulting on high-risk youth, due to the current gap in the literature. Seven social workers shared their experiences during one-to-one interviews. The data was analysed through thematic analysis and the emerging themes were organised into three categories: Helpful elements, such as a safe space, independent expertise, and a shared understanding; Unhelpful elements, including consultee anxiety and the unheard young person; A Mediating element in the form of feasible recommendations. The implications of these findings are discussed, as well as the limitations of this paper and recommendations for future research.

The purpose was to examine adapted physical education (APE) specialists' perceptions about consultation as a delivery model for individuals with disabilities. Six APE specialists (4 female, 2 male) from California participated in this phenomenological study. Data came from in-depth individual interviews, field observations, researcher notes, and focus group interactions. Analysis revealed distinct categories related to consultation: definition, contextual factors, effectiveness (benefits, barriers, documentation), competency, training, and consultation model preferences. Consultation interactions varied greatly because of the dynamic nature of the educational environment. The use of consultation was more prevalent with middle and high school students. Adapted physical education consultation occurred on a continuum from proximal to distal, dependent on the degree of interaction between the APE specialist, the general education (GE) teacher, and the student. The effectiveness of consultation was dependent upon the GE teacher's attitude and the APE specialist's communication skills and competencies.
