• Our approach

  At Minds of All Kinds Psychology, therapy is delivered through a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, client-centred approach that celebrates the diversity of minds and honours each person's unique strengths, needs, and lived experiences. Sessions draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and play-based interventions tailored to each client's developmental stage. When working with children, a holistic approach involves both the child and their carers, teachers, and other supports to best help families work towards their goals. Sessions address a wide range of presentations including anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioural regulation, school engagement, and life transitions, all grounded in the latest research and best practices in psychology.

• Working with families

  Parents and carers are central to the clinic's approach, with the team taking a collaborative, holistic perspective that actively involves family members in therapy from the start. The clinic works closely with carers and other supports such as teachers and educators to create consistent, supportive environments and to help families work towards their individual goals. Parenting support services, including the evidence-based Circle of Security program, are available to help you build strong relationships with your child and develop practical strategies for their emotional and behavioural needs. Regular communication and collaboration with families ensures that therapy is tailored to your child's unique needs and that you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout the process.
