Visit a consultant?

[Torsten]

Hi,

On one of the audio books by Brian Tracey he uses the phrase 'to visit a consultant'. This doesn't seem to be a common collocation, does it?

Many thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

It's a fairly common phrase. It's a bit less repetitive than saying 'consulted a consultant'. You might also hear 'talk to/with a consultant' or 'called a consultant'.

There seems to be more and more consultants, and less people to do the actual work nowadays...

There's something of a joke about if you're not able to be successful in a profession, then become a consultant about it.
