• Our approach

  As Child Psychologists, the team works collaboratively with young people and their families to assist with a range of issues through Individual Therapy, Parenting Strategies, and Family Therapy. The first session involves gathering information to understand what is happening and to establish appropriate therapy goals, with the information collected focusing on the problems the child wants to work on. Therapy generally begins in the second session, where the team starts targeting the agreed goals and develops coping strategies to help the child with the challenges they are facing. As further information is gathered over time, the understanding of contributing factors may change and can be incorporated into the therapy goals. As therapy comes to an end, a closure session is held to help develop a plan to minimise relapse.

• Working with families

  The team works collaboratively with young people and their families to assist with a range of issues. Services include Individual Therapy, Parenting Strategies, and Family Therapy, with psychologists working to involve parents and carers in the therapeutic process. Leia particularly focuses on working with parents to improve their parenting skills in order to best support their children. The practice communicates with families through regular sessions and discusses confidentiality with clients, taking every step to protect information within the limits of mandatory reporting.

• Meet the team

  The team includes Leia Redman and Kelly Gall as Clinic Directors, along with clinical and general psychologists including Gisele, Samantha, Gemma, Blake, Justyce, Morgan, and Emily, who all provide therapy to children and adolescents. Leia has a particular focus on working with parents to improve their parenting skills in order to best support their children. Each psychologist has chosen to focus on specific types of challenges and specific age-ranges. The clinical and health psychologists have additional training and experience and tend to see individuals with more complex or chronic conditions.

• Your first visit

  The first session involves gathering as much information as possible to understand what is going on for your child and to establish appropriate goals for therapy. The information collected focuses on the problems your child wants to work on. Generally, therapy does not begin until the following session. This initial appointment helps the psychologist understand your child's needs so they can provide tailored support moving forward.
