Child Psychology.

What is Child Psychology?

Child psychology helps young people make sense of their emotions, thoughts and behaviour in a way that feels safe and age-appropriate. Our registered psychologists create a warm, trusting space where children and teens feel heard, understood and supported to grow.

Therapy is tailored to each child's developmental stage and individual needs, never a one-size-fits-all approach.

How We Help

We support children, adolescents and families with a wide range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety and worries
• Low mood and depression
• Emotional regulation and big feelings
• Friendship and social challenges
• Adjustment to life changes and family transitions
• Building confidence, self-esteem and resilience

Our Approach

We draw on evidence-based approaches matched to your child, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies.

Sessions are child-led and strengths-focused. We work closely with families so the skills your child builds carry into everyday life at home, school and play.

We also provide parenting support when needed, helping you feel more confident in responding to your child's needs and supporting the progress they make between sessions.

Where helpful, our clinicians can work with other stakeholders in your child's life (including schools, teachers, and other allied health practitioners) so support is joined up and consistent across every setting.

What to Expect

Your first session is a parent-only intake conversation, where we listen to your story, understand your goals and plan the right pathway together.

Ongoing sessions are typically fortnightly, with regular check-ins to review progress and adjust support as your child grows and their needs change.
