• Our approach

  Psychologists at Eloff & Andrews use a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual's needs. Treatment options include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Exposure Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness-based approaches and Compassion-based approaches. Sessions provide a warm, confidential and professional environment where young people feel listened to and understood, with all treatments customised to suit each child's unique values and circumstances to ensure lasting change.

• Working with families

  Parents and carers are viewed as key contributors to the child's therapeutic journey. The occupational therapists specifically emphasise building a strong, connected network around each child with the primary caregiver as a central part of that support system. The practice is relationship-based and focuses on empowering families to understand their child's individual differences, meet them where they are at, and recognise their strengths and interests. Regular communication with parents helps ensure that therapeutic goals and strategies are integrated into home life and daily routines.
