• Our approach

  At Strength Psychology, sessions are built on warm, collaborative, and strengths-based approaches that create safe, neurodiversity-affirming spaces for children and families. Clinicians work with children and adolescents across the full range of emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges, drawing on diverse therapeutic methods including trauma-informed, person-centred, and evidence-based strategies. Your child's clinician takes time to understand their unique story and history, then builds a personalised plan that can also draw on the collective expertise of the entire Strength team. Sessions are designed to help young people build practical skills and strategies that extend beyond the therapy room, supporting meaningful change in their everyday lives.

• Working with families

  Strength Psychology emphasises working closely with families throughout the therapeutic process. Clinicians take a collaborative approach with families, helping parents understand their child's needs and building practical strategies that support everyday life. Individual counselling sessions are offered for children and adolescents, alongside parent support services. The clinic recognises that parenting a struggling child is challenging and aims to provide support that extends to the whole family.

• Meet the team

  Strength Psychology's team comprises 12 specialist clinicians with 60+ years of combined clinical experience, all dedicated to child and adolescent psychology. The team includes registered Child and Adolescent Psychologists, Educational and Developmental Psychologists, and provisional psychologists, each bringing postgraduate qualifications and specialist expertise in areas such as anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, and emotional regulation. The team structure allows your child to benefit not only from their individual clinician but also from the accumulated experience and knowledge of the entire group. Supporting them are operations and administration staff who ensure families are looked after from the first point of contact.

• Your first visit

  At your first appointment, your clinician takes time to understand your child's story, history, and what you're hoping to achieve together. Before the session, you'll complete a short intake form as part of your online booking. The initial assessment allows your clinician to get to know your child and family, establishing the foundation for personalised support. This first meeting is designed to be welcoming and collaborative, setting the stage for your child to feel comfortable and heard from the very beginning.
