Play is to a child what talking is to an adult.

OUR APPROACH

Professional support tailored to your child’s needs.

Our psychologists are creative and passionate individuals who adore supporting children and teens. Our psychologists have a special interest in supporting neurodivergent youth, and children who’ve experienced trauma.

Our psychologists have extensive psychological toolboxes and a wealth of personal and professional experience in supporting children and teens.

We start by taking a thorough history of your child, and connect with parents and the important people in your child’s life to gain an understanding of your chid and their needs. They spend time observing your child so that any recommendations and strategies are tailored specifically for your child and family.

  • Neuroaffirming

    This means our psychologists see and support people as they are. We understand that everyone’s brain works differently, and those differences aren’t something to “fix.” Instead, we focus on getting to know each child, work with their strengths, and create support that actually suits them.

    We aim to create a space where neurodivergent children feel seen, respected, and able to thrive.

  • Trauma informed

    We understand that children and teens may have experienced stress, adversity, or trauma, and that these experiences can shape how they feel, behave, and relate to others.

    We prioritise creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and empowering for your child—where they’re not judged or pushed, and where their pace, choices, and voice are always valued.

What is our process?

  • 1. Parent intake

    Our first session is just for parents and caregivers. This is a chance for us to get to know your child and their world.

    We’ll explore your child’s history, family context, interests, and personality. It’s also a space for you to ask questions and share your thoughts.

    You may be invited to complete some questionnaires to help us better understand your child’s needs and strengths.

  • 2. Getting to know your child

    In these sessions, our psychologists spend time observing your child in a relaxed, play-based setting.

    This helps us get to know who they are—their interests, communication style, emotional regulation, and how they experience the world.

    We use this time to build comfort and connection, so your child feels safe and understood.

  • 3. Tailored therapy

    This is where we begin integrating therapy approaches tailored to your child’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.

    Sessions are mainly focused on your child, with parent involvement included when there is a clear therapeutic purpose. We offer separate parent sessions and welcome your input between sessions.

    Therapy is guided by what works best for your child, alongside your insights and our psychologists’ expertise.
