  • Our approach

    At PAWS Psychology, therapy is warm and evidence-informed, tailored to your child's goals, needs and pace. The team uses a neuro-affirming, strengths-based approach that helps children recognise and build on their strengths while developing practical strategies to manage challenges. Sessions take place in a calm, welcoming clinic with nature-based options including outdoor, play-based, garden-themed and "walk and talk" sessions. If it suits your child, trained therapy dogs or a cat can be part of sessions to support comfort, connection and regulation. The practice offers both in-clinic and Telehealth appointments, whatever feels most accessible for your family.
