Our approach
At Shady Oaks, therapy starts with understanding where each young person is right now. Sessions draw on evidence-based approaches tailored to the individual's needs, interests, and style—ranging from 6 to over 50 minutes depending on what works best. A neurodiversity-affirming lens runs through all work, making support practical and meaningful rather than one-size-fits-all. Young people always have input into how sessions are run so they feel comfortable and regulated. The focus is on building confidence, emotional regulation, social skills, and the ability to advocate for their own needs across home, school, and other settings.
Working with families
Parents are invited to participate actively in therapy through parent sessions and end-of-session summaries that keep you informed about your child's progress. Parents also have the option to book their own sessions focused on parenting support, building connection skills, and learning how to advocate for your child across different settings. Families can request support at school meetings and liaison with school staff to help teachers understand and implement recommended supports.
Meet the team
Shady Oaks is led by Katie Glynn, an Educational and Developmental Psychologist with many years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families across schools, private practice, and early intervention services. Katie completed a Master of Psychology (Educational & Developmental) at Queensland University of Technology and has particular expertise in neurodivergent presentations—including demand avoidance, anxiety, trauma, and learning difficulties—as well as psychological assessment across cognition, achievement, attention, and behaviour.
Your first visit
The first appointment is an intake session lasting 50 minutes, designed to help the psychologist understand your child's story. During this time, parents share their child's developmental history, current concerns, and what is and isn't working well. Together you'll discuss which type of assessment (if needed) is the best fit to answer your questions. The session is relaxed and conversational, giving you a chance to ask questions and get a feel for how the psychologist works with your family.
