Our approach
Our approach involves collaborative, reflective sessions where psychologists use active listening, open-ended questioning, and exploration of thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and past experiences to support insight and change. We employ evidence-based strategies to help you address emotional and behavioural challenges in a structured and supportive way. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, and our psychologists work with children and adolescents to explore goals, identify strengths, and develop practical strategies for long-term success. We believe good mental health is the ability to cope, find fulfilment, and live a meaningful life. Our warm, non-judgmental approach fosters collaborative relationships designed to help you achieve the best outcomes.

Your first visit
New clients should contact Melanie on 0401 797 097, email reception@calderpsychology.com, or use the Contact Us form to book your first appointment. The initial process typically includes a pre-assessment consultation, review of relevant developmental, medical, and educational history, and a clinical interview where psychologists gather information about your child's concerns and experiences. For ADHD assessments specifically, this may be followed by cognitive testing and questionnaires depending on your child's age and needs. A comprehensive written report is provided 4–6 weeks after completion, followed by a feedback and recommendations session to discuss findings and next steps.
