Clinical consultation is an opportunity for someone seeing psychotherapy clients to come for assistance with their clinical work, their development as a clinician, and their career path in a helping profession. It can also be an integral and even a required step for registration in a college or professional association. Clinicians who come to see me have found a variety of ways to make consultation useful, including finding creative ways to use audio tapes of sessions, reflecting on case formulations and their connection to theory, and exploring their countertransference responses to particular situations.
