Child & Teen Psychology

Our psychologists are experienced in helping children and teenagers from the age of 4 through to 17.  They also work with parents, schools and other supports. Our child counselling services can help your child reach their potential. We understand that life can bring challenges and struggles for both you and your child.

Children and teenagers experience tough times, they feel sad, worried, stressed, angry, frustrated and overwhelmed.  They don't quite know how to cope with stress, they need help learning to act in positive ways, they struggle with relationships and benefit from support in many other ways.

Our psychologists have advanced skills in managing complex childhood concerns and are experienced in providing care in a variety of settings including schools, hospitals, community or youth centres, residential housing and accommodation facilities.
