Our Psychologist has decades of experience in education and psychology, and is trained in therapeutic approaches including: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy; Interpersonal Therapy; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; Narrative Therapy; and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
Counselling services are tailored to each child or adolescent’s specific needs and circumstances.
How it works
1. Call, email or SMS us to schedule your initial consultation.
2. You will meet with a psychologist for your initial consultation, where we discuss your child’s needs and, with you, will plan our approach to either counselling or assessment. Children 15 years and over can attend this session independently, or with their parents or guardians.
3. If assessment is required, you will receive a quote for the full assessment at this stage.
4. We commence the counselling or assessment process!
