• Our approach

  Evergreen Psychology Services uses a person-centred approach grounded in warmth, authenticity and compassion, with a strong focus on building supportive therapeutic relationships that promote growth and change. Sessions draw on a range of evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), social skills training, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and positive psychology. Treatment is tailored to your child's individual goals and developmental needs, whether delivered in school, home or clinic settings. The service welcomes families from diverse backgrounds and aims to create a safe and supportive experience while collaborating with other health professionals as appropriate.

• Working with families

  The website indicates that the service values collaborative relationships with families and endeavours to build positive and supportive partnerships with young people and their families. With your consent, the service can collaborate with other health professionals and supports as appropriate, and offers parenting education and support for challenging childhood behaviours as part of its services.
