You share what you are seeking support with.

Gibbs Parent Consulting will consider whether parent guidance and practical coaching is the right type of support for your needs.

If the service is a good fit, you can book the most suitable consultation, package or support session.

Most parents should begin with a Foundations Consultation.

If your child is birth to four months old, the Newborn Foundations Package may be the most suitable starting point.

Standard Support Sessions are for parents who have already had a Foundations Consultation and are seeking ongoing support with a specific concern, routine, response pattern or practical next step.

The Newborn Foundations Package includes one Foundations Consultation and four follow-up sessions across the birth to four-month period. It is designed for parents wanting structured support through the newborn stage, with time to understand early routines, patterns, responses and adjustment over the first four months.

Sessions are 45 minutes.

A summary email is sent within 24 hours of each session, covering key discussion points, actions and next steps.

Gibbs Parent Consulting provides in-home support within the service area.

Travel arrangements outside the service area can be discussed during the enquiry process but may incur additional fees.

Virtual support may be available where appropriate, particularly if your home is outside the service area.

This can be discussed during the enquiry process.

No.

Priority Support is short-notice support, subject to availability.

It is not crisis support.

Concerns involving immediate safety, medical issues, mental health crisis, family violence, abuse, neglect or clinical assessment needs should be directed to the appropriate medical, mental health, emergency or crisis service.

Package and consultation invoices are issued upfront.

Standard Support Sessions are invoiced at booking.

Priority Support Sessions are invoiced immediately on booking and due before the session.

Payment is due within 7 days of invoice date unless a service rule requires payment before session delivery.

Less than 24 hours notice results in the full fee being charged.

No.

Gibbs Parent Consulting does not provide diagnosis, clinical assessment, medical advice or psychological treatment.

If assessment or diagnosis is needed, a medical, allied health or mental health professional may be more appropriate.

If Gibbs Parent Consulting is not the right type of support for your needs, this will be discussed during the enquiry process.

The aim is to make sure the service is appropriate before support begins.
