Can child’s father take them to counsellor without consent

Will try to provide the necessary information;
Can my child’s (7) father take them to see a counsellor without my consent?

Details;
- currently has a counsellor they have been seeing for a year with no issues, has a great relationship with the counsellor
- separation agreement is shared guardianship and decision making
- child informed me that they were made to go see a new counsellor recently, I was not made aware of it, nor provided consent for them to attend, they (child) were upset after this happened and confided in me about what happened

This seems like a very confusing situation for a child especially seeing two counsellors with potentially different approaches? This also takes away from benefits coverage for the pre-existing relationship.

Can provide additional information if not enough given here - thank you in advance
