Individual Therapy
We offer psychological intervention to children and adolescents (5 to 18 years old). Our individual therapy sessions begin with an initial 50 minute session with parent/s during which we discuss your current concerns, gather relevant background information and set goals for therapy. This allows us to ensure we are the appropriate service and to determine what is the next best step. The initial session is usually parents-only to begin, however at the time of booking we will advise you if your child should also be present. If we are the right service to help you meet your goals, we will create a personalised treatment plan to address your specific concerns.
Ongoing therapy sessions are 50 minutes and one-on-one with your child, working through the goals set in the initial session and building your child's ability to cope with life's challenges. Parents are at times included in sessions (we will discuss this more in our initial session). We understand sometimes starting this journey can be scary for some, so we ensure we make this process as comfortable as possible.
Areas we can support:
If we have not listed the difficulty your child is experiencing, please contact us to inquire if we can help as this list is not exhaustive. If we can't help, we'll do our best to point you in the right direction!
We accept clients:
-
with a valid GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan
-
who wish to fund their sessions privately (that is, you don't need a referral to see us)
-
with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS plans
We also offer a range of assessments For more information, click here.
Parent only sessions
For children under 5 years old, we offer parent only sessions. These sessions are 50 minutes and involve the Psychologist and preferably both parents, without your child present.
Areas we can support:
-
Attachment
-
Oppositional behaviours and/or defiance
-
Upskilling parents to support their child when dysregulated
We are not family-therapy trained, so we cannot offer family therapy sessions, but we are happy to point you in the right direction if this is what you need.
