-During the consultation

-What you need is a well lit, comfortable space with good wifi connection.

-The aim is for me to see a feed if possible, so it is often beneficial to have a spare pair of hands to film your current situation if required.

-I want to see the feed from all angles- so sometimes having a video taken in different positions can also be very helpful in me assisting you.
