• Our approach

  Our clinicians use a range of evidence-based therapeutic interventions tailored to your child's individual needs and presenting issues. Sessions take approximately 50–60 minutes, and the treatment approach is client-centred, with liaisons made to all third parties involved in your child's treatment program. The team offers comprehensive assessments, individualised therapy, early intervention programs, and structured programs such as the Cool Kids Anxiety Program, which is a 10-week cognitive behavioural and skills-based group program. Therapy may include counselling, behavioural therapy, art therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and physiotherapy support, depending on what your child needs.

• Working with families

  The clinicians liaise with all third parties involved in your child's treatment program, ensuring coordinated care. For anxiety and other conditions, parents are included in treatment; for example, the Cool Kids Anxiety Program teaches both children and their parents how to better manage anxiety. The team uses a family systems approach and provides disability-specific family support, recognising that family members and carers are often impacted by the child's condition, and offers support and counselling to family members as well as post-diagnosis information, linkages and referrals.

• Meet the team

  The team comprises highly qualified clinicians with a minimum of 15–30 years' clinical experience, each having completed at least six years of university training including a postgraduate master's degree.

• Your first visit

  Each consultation takes approximately 50–60 minutes, and it's important to arrive 10 minutes early to complete relevant administrative forms. A referral isn't necessary to access the service—you can self-refer as a private client or be referred by your GP, insurer, or other allied health professionals. The treatment approach is client-centred, and the clinicians will liaise with all third parties involved in your child's treatment program. Appointments can be booked via phone or the online booking system, with availability within 1–3 days.
