Child Psychology Services
We are here to help you and your child with every issue – from life adjustments to severe anxiety or depression. We offer top-of-the-line assessment, diagnostic and treatment services. With your permission, we will actively liaise with your child’s doctor and school in order to make certain that everyone is supporting positive change for your child. Using only treatments that have been researched and found to work, we implement treatment plans that are practical, positive and tailored especially for your particular child and family.
We treat the following childhood difficulties:
- Problems with attention and concentration
- Depression or mood difficulties
- Low self-esteem / low self-confidence
- Bullying
- Behavioural problems including oppositionality
- Anxiety (including separation anxiety and OCD)
- Coping with divorce or other family problems including loss
We also provide assessment for children and adolescents who need IQ testing, may have a learning problem and/or may be gifted. We provide thorough ADHD assessments (involving input from parents, teachers and medical doctors) when ADHD is suspected and school readiness assessments when there is a question regarding your child’s readiness for school.
Adolescent Psychology Services
Working with teenagers is not something that every psychologist can do. We have put together a team of psychologists who not only have experience in working with young people through this tricky stage of life, but also only those who love it. You will want your teen to see someone who is keen to work with them and is good at it. We offer assessment, diagnostic and treatment services for your adolescent that will capitalise on his/her strengths and interests.
We treat the following adolescent difficulties:
- Anxiety (including HSC stress and procrastination)
- Adolescent behavioural problems including conduct fisorder
- Teenage depression (including self-harming)
- Bullying
- Low self-esteem / Low self-confidence
- Relationship problems with family members
- Coping with divorce or other family problems including loss
- Problems with attention and concentration
We also provide testing for adolescents when needed. Sometimes parents have a query regarding their IQ, possible learning problems or if the teen is gifted. We provide thorough ADHD assessments (involving input from parents, teachers and medical doctors) when ADHD is suspected.
Telehealth Appointments
To help with social distancing and compliance with COVID-19 safe practises, we are offering our clients telehealth appointments (available through phone and/or video consultations). As part of the Australian Government’s response to COVID-19, as of 13 March 2020 telehealth appointments are eligible for Medicare rebates with a valid Mental Health Care Plan from your doctor.
Online Q&A Service
We offer a unique online Q&A service for parents or carers who have a discrete question about parenting children or adolescents. This service is especially created to make access to a psychologist easier and for those who do not live near our practices.
