Consultation by/with

I often see "consult by someone" to mean "consult with someone" or "consult someone." For example, "Consultation by practitioners helps to improve the design of the sample." to mean "Consultation with practitioners ..." or "Consulting practitioners ..." It sounds strange to me, but since it's common, I suppose it's correct? And is "with" also correct? Thanks for the help!
