Scientifically-Backed Treatment: Our Approach
Evidence-Based Therapies Tailored to Your Child
Our team uses evidence-based treatment strategies during therapy. Our team is highly trained in these evidence-backed approaches to psychological assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Our approach uses therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tailored to your child’s needs. CBT helps children understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Depending on your child’s presentation, therapy may also incorporate Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation skills or mindfulness strategies to strengthen awareness and attention. We collaborate with your child’s relevant healthcare professionals to provide a holistic approach to your child’s care. We believe in the importance of overall wellbeing to encourage positive cognitive and behavioural changes.Assessments and Treatment Plans

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know when it's time for your child to see a psychologist?
What can you expect to pay for a child psychologist in Australia?
The cost of seeing a child psychologist varies depending on the clinic and the type of appointment. If your child has a Mental Health Care Plan from a GP, they may be eligible for Medicare rebates.
Can you claim Medicare rebates for child psychology appointments?
Yes. Children with a valid Mental Health Care Plan from a GP may be eligible for Medicare rebates for psychology sessions. Contact the clinic if you have questions about the referral process.
What signs may suggest your child could benefit from seeing a psychologist?
Children may benefit from seeing a psychologist if they experience persistent anxiety, behavioural changes, emotional difficulties or challenges at home or school. Seeking support early can help address concerns before they become more difficult to manage.
What situations might prompt you to consult a child psychologist?
You may wish to consult a child psychologist if your child is struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, behaviour, relationships or other developmental concerns. An initial appointment can help you understand the available support options.
What happens during the first appointment?
The first appointment focuses on understanding your child’s concerns, background and goals for therapy. Your psychologist will discuss suitable next steps and answer any questions you may have.
Can parents be involved in therapy?
Yes. Parent involvement is often an important part of supporting a child’s progress. Your psychologist will discuss how parents or carers can be involved based on your child’s age, needs and treatment plan.
Do you offer online appointments for children?
Yes. Telehealth appointments are available for suitable clients across Australia. Your psychologist can advise whether online sessions are appropriate for your child’s needs.
How do I choose the right child psychologist?
Choosing the right child psychologist starts with finding someone who has experience supporting children with concerns similar to your child’s. It can also help to consider factors such as the psychologist’s approach, appointment availability and whether your child feels comfortable during the first session.
Building a positive therapeutic relationship is an important part of the therapy process.
