From KCPsych's website.

• Our approach

  KCPsych therapists use evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, Motivational Interviewing, Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and Circle of Security. Sessions are conducted by trained professionals who offer empathy and effective strategies tailored to your child's needs. The practice emphasises being open, honest, and caring, and prioritises confidentiality and care as their highest priorities. Practitioners work collaboratively with others involved in your child's care, with your knowledge and consent.

• Working with families

  The practice consults with others involved in your child's care with your consent and knowledge, making communication and collaboration key priorities. Parents and carers are informed about appointment times through booking confirmations, reminder SMS messages sent 2 days before appointments, and information displayed in the clinic. The centre is committed to keeping families informed about policies and what to expect, and supports you with clear information about cancellations, fees, and services available.

The practice is directed by Vishal Chandani, an accredited social worker. All practitioners are trained professionals offering evidence-based treatments, and the centre has been operating for over 15 years in the Brisbane community.
