What Hardwick helps with

Child and Teen Therapy

Therapy for children aged 8+ and adolescents addressing anxiety, ADHD, autism-related concerns, and emotional/social wellbeing.

Online Therapy

Therapy, assessment and consultation delivered remotely via video call, allowing families to access support from home without the need to travel. Telehealth sessions cover most services including psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy and counselling.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy for trauma and PTSD. Using bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), it helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer cause intense emotional reactions.

CBT Therapy

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for various mental health conditions.

Schema Therapy

An integrative psychological therapy that explores deep-rooted patterns (schemas) formed in childhood that drive unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours in adulthood. It combines elements of CBT, attachment theory and other approaches to bring about lasting personality and emotional change.

ACT Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for psychological flexibility and meaningful living.

Trauma Therapy

Evidence-based therapy to help individuals who have experienced trauma — including abuse, accidents or adverse childhood experiences — process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact. Approaches include EMDR, trauma-focused CBT and somatic therapies.

Anxiety Treatment

Therapy and support to help children and adults understand and manage anxiety — including worry, panic, phobias and social anxiety. Treatment typically draws on evidence-based approaches such as CBT, and helps individuals gradually face feared situations with greater confidence.

It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.
