• Our approach

  Kate Li Psychology draws on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support children with anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, and developmental disabilities. The practice has a strong clinical focus on early intervention, believing that no issues are too small for therapy. Sessions are structured to support emotional regulation, social communication, and everyday life skills, with the team actively involving parents and carers in treatment planning and decision-making. The psychologists work to create a safe and collaborative space where children can build resilience and recover from their difficulties. Kate also develops individualised behaviour support plans and delivers verbal behaviour programs tailored to each child's needs.

• Working with families

  The practice recognises your rights and needs as clients and actively involves parents and carers in treatment planning and decision-making throughout therapy. Your input is valued from the first appointment onwards, shaping the therapeutic approach and goals for your child. The psychologists work collaboratively with families to support children in building emotional regulation, social communication, and everyday life skills. Regular communication with parents and carers is central to the practice's client-centred philosophy, ensuring that family perspectives inform and guide the treatment process.
