Child Psychology

Child psychology sessions are recommended when a child is experiencing difficulty managing their emotions, are going through or have gone through a stressful event or when a child needs additional support to learn strategies to help them through their day.

We work closely with family members, teachers and other professionals to encourage a collaborative approach and ensure that the child and family feel supported. Services are available for both community health and NDIS Early Childhood Intervention clients.

Counselling and assessment is available for a range of areas. Some examples include:

Adaptive functioning (self-care and independent functioning)
Anger
Anxiety
Bullying
Challenging behaviours
Depression
Family issues
Learning issues
Resilience and coping
Relationships
School readiness
School refusal
Self-esteem and assertiveness
Sleep difficulties
