I Matter Child and Family Practice
Specialist Relationship Health Priorities consultations for parents, carers, young people and professionals
Supporting the I Matter Relationship Health Learning Journey
When relationships feel difficult, behaviour becomes challenging, or you are unsure what to do next, it can help to develop a clearer understanding of what is happening and where to focus first.
Some people choose to complement their I Matter Learning Journey with a personalised Priorities Consultation from an experienced practitioner hosted by the I Matter Child and Family Practice. This is an optional extra.
✓ understand current relationship challenges
✓ identify the priorities that matter most
✓ develop practical next steps
✓ focus your learning on the areas most likely to make a difference
Not sure where to start?
Book a free, no-obligation 15-minute call to talk through your situation and explore possible next steps.
An Indepth Priorities Consultation may be helpful if you are:
- a parent or carer wanting to build confidence and better understand how to help yourself or your child or family
- supporting a child with additional needs or complex challenges
- a professional wanting a deeper understanding of relationship-based approaches
- a supported young person who wants to learn for themselves
- looking for practical tools rather than just advice
- want help to select the first priorities for taking action
Meet Dr Cathy Betoin

An I Matter Educational Consultation informed by clinical and educational expertise helps you:
The I Matter Child & Family Practice provides personalised educational consultations for families and professionals seeking to better understand relationship challenges, behaviour, communication and emotional wellbeing.
Drawing on over 30 years of clinical experience, we help you:
✓ understand what may be contributing to current challenges
✓ identify relationship strengths and areas needing priority attention
✓ understand underlying relationship patterns
✓ explore how the I Matter Framework applies to your situation
✓ develop a personalised learning plan

From understanding to change: the I Matter Learning Journey
A consultation with the Child and Family Practice gives you more clarity.
The I Matter Learning Journey gives you the knowledge, skills and practical tools to build on that understanding over time
What makes this different?
Many families are offered advice without being given the opportunity to develop a shared understanding of what is happening.
The I Matter approach combines:
- structured Relationship Health assessment
- personalised educational consultation
- practical psychoeducation
- guided reflection
- coaching to support learning and application
- progress review over time
Together these help parents, carers and professionals develop greater confidence in understanding behaviour, relationships and the practical steps that are most likely to make a difference.
What is an Educational Consultation?
An Educational Consultation is designed to help you:
- understand your current relationship strengths and challenges
- identify the priorities that matter most
- understand how the I Matter Framework applies to your own situation
- develop a personalised learning plan
- make informed decisions about your next steps
Where appropriate, consultations may be supported by the I Matter Relationship Health assessment and progress tracking tools to help identify strengths, monitor development and review progress over time.
The emphasis is on understanding, learning and practical application rather than diagnosis or treatment.
The I Matter Learning Journey
Educational consultation works alongside the online I Matter Relationship Health Learning Journey.
Step 1
Complete the introductory information and decide whether the programme feels right for you.
Step 2
Request an initial Relationship Health Consultation to set up a Priorities Plan.
Step 3
Progress through the online learning programme at your own pace.
Step 4

Study Support Options
Many people find that occasional consultation helps them gain much greater value from the online learning.
Study support may include:
- individual consultations
- parent or carer consultations
- joint consultations with two adults
- professional consultation
- progress reviews

An important note
The purpose of the I Matter Child & Family Practice is educational.
Educational consultations draw upon Dr Cathy Betoin's clinical expertise to help people understand, reflect upon and apply the I Matter Framework to their own circumstances.
The service supports learning, understanding and informed decision-making.
It is not a therapy or mental health treatment service and does not provide diagnosis or clinical treatment.
Current Availability
At present, personalised consultations are available for families and professionals linked to participating schools and GP practices within the Kendal area.
As the service develops we hope to make this support available more widely through trained practitioners and partner organisations.
