What Youth helps with

Cool Kids Anxiety Management Group

Anger Management Group

Group therapy led by experienced psychologists offering structured support for emotional regulation.

ADHD Assessment

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

EAP Services

Confidential counselling and support services provided by employers to help staff manage personal and work-related difficulties. EAPs typically include short-term counselling, financial and legal advice, and referrals to specialist services.

NDIS Support

Help navigating the NDIS — finding and connecting with the right service providers, understanding a plan, managing budgets and ensuring supports are working together effectively. A support coordinator acts as a guide and advocate to help participants get the most from their funding.

Free Assessment

An initial assessment offered at no cost, allowing families to have their child screened for developmental concerns, communication difficulties or other needs before committing to a full paid assessment or therapy program.

Our approach

At Youth Empowerment Psychology, therapy is grounded in a trauma-informed, strength-based approach that uses evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and play-based approaches tailored to each young person's needs. Sessions provide a warm and inclusive environment where children, teens, and young adults can safely explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours without judgment. The team recognises the unique strengths and struggles at every developmental stage and works collaboratively with families, schools, and GPs to ensure holistic, wraparound care. Every therapy journey begins with a thorough assessment to understand the young person's needs, followed by creating a personalised plan. The approach is culturally sensitive and designed to empower young people to develop practical, person-centred strategies that help them thrive.

Working with families

Parents and carers are actively involved in their child's therapy journey. The team guides parents on how to support their emotional growth, implement strategies at home, and collaborate with therapists to ensure consistent progress. Family and parent counselling sessions are available to help strengthen communication, nurture emotional connections, and reinforce therapy progress. The psychologist works closely with families, schools, and GPs as part of a collaborative, wraparound care approach. For teens, parents are kept informed while adolescents are encouraged to actively participate in building their own self-awareness and resilience, extending coping strategies into everyday life.

Your first visit

At the first appointment, a thorough assessment is conducted to understand the young person's needs and strengths. This initial meeting sets the foundation for creating a tailored therapy plan specific to the individual's circumstances. The psychologist gathers information about the child's emotional, behavioural, and developmental needs during this assessment phase. Following this assessment, an evidence-based treatment plan is developed using interventions suited to the young person's situation. The clinic also offers a free 15-minute assessment to help families understand how support can help their child, making the initial contact stress-free and informative.
