Our approach
Port Phillip Psychology works with children using a warm, caring approach that recognises children aren't always able to put feelings into words. Psychologists support children through conversation and therapeutic techniques tailored to their developmental stage, addressing concerns like anxiety, ADHD, ASD, behavioural challenges, and the emotional weight of family changes. The practice draws on an average of 6 years of university training plus specialised training in child psychology. Sessions aim to help children overcome challenges and achieve greater emotional wellbeing in a friendly, confidential environment.
