Answer 1

Not sure that I understand you problem well.. Take a look at recommended way of extending User model:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#extending-the-existing-user-model

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class Employee(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    department = models.CharField(max_length=100)

Then you can do:

u = User.objects.get(username='fsmith')
freds_department = u.employee.department

In your case it would be:

class Consultant(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    *your fields here*

1. Now you can use standard authentication forms and methods

2. You always can obtain consultant data as:

    request.user.consultant
