Our approach

Sydney Children's Practice uses evidence-based therapy grounded in the latest psychological research, tailored to each child's unique personality, needs and family values. Sessions are warm and supportive, focusing not just on solving today's problem but equipping children and parents with skills they'll carry for years. The approach combines multiple evidence-based methods including CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, with flexibility to work with the child's strengths and challenges. Clinicians aim to help children feel safe, understood and a little bit lighter after every session, recognising that therapy works best when kids feel comfortable enough to open up.

Working with families

Parents and carers are central to the therapy process, particularly for younger children. The practice provides parent training and guidance on evidence-based strategies to support your child at home, helping you feel more confident and reducing family stress. Therapy often involves collaboration with schools to ensure consistency between sessions and real-world environments. Regular communication helps parents understand what's happening and how they can best support their child, with the psychologist discussing concerns honestly and working as a team toward shared goals.

Meet the team

The team includes experienced clinical psychologists who are deeply trained and skilled at working with children. Bradley Bowen, Clinic Director, is a Board-registered Clinical Psychologist (MPsych, BA Hons I, BSc, AMusA, MAPS) with over 25 years working with children, adolescents and families, and practising as a Clinical Psychologist since 2011. He has a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent children with ADHD and Autism, and works using evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT and mindfulness. The clinicians and admin team work hard to make every family feel welcome and genuinely supported from first contact.

Your first visit

At your first appointment, the psychologist takes time to understand your child's emotional, behavioural and cognitive strengths and challenges in a supportive, family-friendly environment. Before anything starts, you'll be talked through what's involved with no pressure or jargon. The initial session is about listening closely and understanding what's really going on in your child's life, so the psychologist can work collaboratively with your family to guide appropriate support. This might involve assessment, therapy, parent guidance or school collaboration depending on your child's needs.
