• Our approach

  New Vision Psychology Castle Hill Practice takes a person-centred, evidence-based approach to therapy that draws on multiple therapeutic styles tailored to each child's needs. Psychologists use a bio-psychosocial framework to understand how each client's brain works, then customise treatment using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and schema therapy. Sessions are warm and genuine, with psychologists taking the time to build rapport and help children work towards their personal goals in a supportive, validating environment. The practice emphasises finding the right fit between child and psychologist to maximise therapeutic outcomes.

• Working with families

  The practice collaborates actively with parents and carers as part of treatment. Psychologists work with families to understand the child's needs and ensure consistent, coordinated care across all supports. Mary Ha, for example, has extensive training in parenting programs including Circle of Security, Triple P (Positive Parenting Program), and Tuning into Kids, which she incorporates into her work with families. The practice emphasises communication with carers and involves parents in goal-setting and treatment planning. They also work collaboratively with other professionals in a child's life, such as GPs, specialists and support workers, to provide holistic support.
