Our approach

The service takes an evidence-based approach tailored to each child's stage of development, integrating psychological assessments with CBT, ACT, play-based techniques, and other recognised methods. Sessions are age-appropriate and focused on helping young people build confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing as they navigate life's challenges. The team collaborates with families, schools, and allied health professionals to provide consistent, holistic care. Support is personalised to each individual's needs, whether addressing anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioural challenges, ADHD, autism-related concerns, or other difficulties. The practice emphasises growth-oriented care that evolves with the young person from infancy through young adulthood.

Working with families

Parent involvement is often an important part of child psychology therapy, particularly for younger children, with clinicians working collaboratively with families to support progress at home and school. The team can accommodate parent preferences regarding clinician gender and language, with male and female psychologists available, as well as clinicians who can support families where parents prefer communication in Mandarin, Cantonese or Farsi. Parents are included in assessment processes and can request that assessment reports be shared with schools or other professionals to support educational planning. The reception team supports families from their first point of contact, helping with enquiries, bookings and communication to ensure families feel comfortable and supported throughout their care journey.
