• Our approach

  Treatments are tailored to each individual using current evidence-based techniques. For children, the practice offers fun therapeutic activities, while for adolescents sessions include understanding, respectful conversations and practical strategies. Standard sessions run for 55 minutes, though a double session of 110 minutes can be requested for the initial appointment to allow more time for questions and information gathering. The approach emphasises working collaboratively with young people to help them with big feelings and difficult behaviours.

• Your first visit

  The initial session can be a standard 55-minute appointment or a double session of 110 minutes if you wish to allow more time for questions and information gathering. It's helpful to prepare your child beforehand by talking about the visit using words they can understand, explaining that psychologists are like doctors who work with kids and families. You might show them a photograph of their therapist and the therapy room, and use positive language to help them feel comfortable. The first appointment is an opportunity to gather information about your child's needs and begin building a therapeutic relationship.
