Child Psychology
Helping your child feel confident, connected, and understood
Our child psychologist helps young minds
Emotions can be challenging for children to manage. Our experienced psychologist can help your child tackle anxiety, school transitions, behavioural struggles, and developmental differences in a safe and supportive environment. Using a collaborative and family-focused approach, we combine child therapy with allied health services such as speech pathology and occupational therapy to build a personalised plan for your child.
What does a psychologist do to help your child?
Every child’s journey comes with its own set of challenges. Our child psychologist provides a safe space for big emotions and everyday struggles. With practical strategies and a caring approach, she helps children develop emotional resilience, build confidence, and strengthen their connections with family and friends.
Developmental Assessments
We conduct neurodevelopmental assessments for ADHD, autism and learning difficulties like dyslexia and dysgraphia. Our approach focuses on identifying strengths and areas needing support, and we develop personalised strategies to help them thrive.
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety can affect how children cope with daily life. Using evidence-based therapies, we provide practical tools and guidance to rebuild self-esteem and support your child’s mental health.
Grief or Trauma
Grief is a natural response to loss, while trauma can leave children and teenagers feeling upset, angry, or withdrawn. Our child psychologist uses evidence-based practices to help them process emotions.
Family Therapy
We understand how important it is to support parents during their child’s therapy journey. Parents play a big role in nurturing their children’s emotional wellbeing and helping them get the most out of therapy.
ADHD and Neurodiversity
We celebrate the individuality of neurodiverse children, encouraging them to embrace their unique strengths. With a neuroaffirming approach, our child psychologist helps them build independence and confidently navigate the world.
Big Life Changes
Whether starting school, moving house, or navigating family changes, big transitions can feel overwhelming for children. Therapy helps them adapt, build emotional resilience, and approach these changes with confidence and stability.
