  • Our approach

    Sessions at Perspective Psychology Services use creative, play-based methods to help children process their experiences and discover their own inner strength. The service offers a range of evidence-based approaches including Play Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Sandplay Therapy. These expressive therapies work by targeting multiple areas of the brain, helping them work together while respecting each child's capacity and individual way of healing. The practice is built on a philosophy of care and respect, aiming to provide a safe base where clients can explore their needs, heal if needed, and find new appreciation of their own skills to live fulfilling lives.

  • Working with families

    The service is passionate about collaborating with families as part of the care team. Parent communication and involvement is central to the approach, including partnership with other providers in your child's care such as occupational therapists, speech pathologists, GPs and paediatricians. The service offers evidence-based parenting programs, including the Child Parent Relationship Therapy group program for parents and carers of children aged 3–10. Individual tailored support recognises that your family's definition of success shapes the therapy journey.

Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

No referral is needed to see one privately. You only need a GP referral if you want to access Medicare rebates or are going through certain funded pathways.

Is speech therapy covered by the NDIS?

It can be, usually under Capacity Building / Improved Daily Living, if it aligns with your child's plan goals. Check your plan or ask your support coordinator.

At what age should we see a speech pathologist?

There's no "too early." If you have concerns about your child's talking or understanding at any age, an assessment can clarify whether support would help.

How long are sessions and how many will we need?

Session length varies between clinics and services, so check it with the provider when you book. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.
