Our approach
At Hands and Mind, therapy is rooted in evidence-based practices tailored to each child's unique experiences and preferences. Sessions aim to support children, young people and families through a range of mental health, behavioural, and parenting concerns. The practitioners draw on a range of evidence-informed approaches, including person-centred therapy, play therapy, trauma-informed practice, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Each child and family receives a personalised treatment plan created in collaboration with the practitioners, fostering an environment of trust and openness. The practice is grounded in creating safe, supportive spaces where children feel heard, understood, and valued.
Working with families
The practice values close collaboration with families, recognising that supporting children's mental health works best as a partnership. Practitioners liaise with parents and family members, allied health professionals, schools and other services to provide holistic support. Communication is transparent and open, with the practice striving to ensure every family feels heard and respected. For families working with Auslan interpreters, clients and families are encouraged to arrange their own interpreter to ensure the right fit. Throughout therapy, families are involved in creating personalised treatment plans and are supported to understand their child's progress and development.
