Child Psychology

At our clinic, we’ve created a warm, inclusive, and welcoming space designed with children in mind — a place where young people feel comfortable and supported from the moment they walk through our doors. Our therapy environment is thoughtfully arranged so that children and their families can navigate sessions with ease, with inviting areas carefully placed throughout the clinic to help children feel included, involved, and at home.

Our team of child psychologists come with extensive experience, advanced training, and a neuroaffirming approach. We are committed to delivering high-quality, targeted interventions that respect and celebrate neurodiversity, while tailoring support to each child’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.

Therapy is play-based, using the latest technologies and evidence-based interventions to make sessions engaging and effective. Every interaction is underpinned by trauma-informed care, ensuring that children feel safe, respected, and empowered.

Parents and caregivers are integral to the therapeutic process. We actively involve families so that strategies and tools introduced in session can be reinforced at home, creating a consistent and supportive environment for growth.

We work with children experiencing a wide range of concerns, including:

​

  • School refusal and anxiety

  • Cognitive and educational concerns

  • Family challenges and parent–child relationship support

  • Navigating family separation

  • Grief and loss support

  • Behavioural and emotional regulation difficulties

  • Supports for neurodivergent children (including autism and ADHD)

  • Social skills development and peer relationship support​

​

Our interventions include:

​

  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and other cognitive-based approaches

  • Family Systems Therapies to strengthen relationships and communication

  • Trauma-focused interventions for healing and resilience

  • Psychoeducation for children and parents

  • Emotion and behaviour regulation strategies

  • Anxiety and school avoidance support

  • Cognitive, psychological, and educational assessments
