Our approach

Sydney Children's Practice uses warm, evidence-based approaches tailored to each child's personality, needs and family values. Sessions draw on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness and behavioural strategies, depending on what your child needs. The focus is on building practical skills and understanding—not just solving today's problem, but giving children and parents tools they'll carry for years to come. Therapy happens in calm, child-friendly clinics where kids feel comfortable and genuinely supported from the moment they walk in.

Working with families

Sydney Children's Practice involves parents and carers as active partners in their child's care. Parent sessions are a regular part of therapy, offering guidance and support tailored to your child's needs. The team collaborates with schools to ensure consistency between therapy and real-world environments, and communicates openly with families about progress and next steps. Regular review of progress means strategies are adjusted based on what's working, keeping you informed and involved throughout.

Meet the team

Bradley Bowen is the clinic director—a board-registered clinical psychologist with over 25 years' experience working with children, adolescents and families, and practising as a clinical psychologist since 2011. He has a particular interest in neurodivergent children including those with ADHD and autism, and works using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT and mindfulness. The team consists of experienced, deeply trained clinical psychologists who are people children will actually want to talk to, because therapy works best when kids feel safe, understood and a little bit lighter after every session.

Your first visit

At a first appointment, the psychologist takes time to listen carefully and understand your child's story, worries and strengths before anything else starts. They'll talk you through what's involved in a supportive, family-friendly environment with no pressure and no jargon. The focus is on understanding your child's emotional, behavioural and cognitive needs, identifying what's working well alongside challenges, and then working collaboratively with you to guide appropriate support. Whether you're after a one-off assessment or ongoing therapy, you'll have a clear sense of the path forward.
