My 11 year old daughter asked if she could have counselling.
it’s taken a month or so to put together a list of suitable and available counsellors and my daughter has made a choice as to who she would like to see.
ex has been communicated with throughout the process of moving this forwards and appeared to be in support.
needless to say, first appointment is Monday, ex has said she does not give permission for daughter to attend.
my question is - if I’ve given permission (I have PR), and my daughter understands and wants therapy, do both parents have to give their consent?
hi, could you contact the therapist and ask if both parents consent is needed?
Thank you.
the counsellor is happy to see my daughter.
my daughter is 12 and has been determined as gillick competent (able to make the choice for herself).
so with her choice and my pr permission I’m confident we have done the right thing and progressed with therapy.
not looking forward to the fallout but able to cope with whatever comes and my daughter has the counselling she wants
Sorry 12 in August but still gillivk competent : )
