HOW WE HELP

​

Our services are aimed at supporting children who are experiencing a range of issues and concerns relating to their overall wellbeing. 

We support families through behavioural, emotional and social concerns and provide parents/children with pragmatic strategies to overcome challenges.

 

Some of the challenges/presentations for children that we see include:

• anxiety and anger management

• challenging behaviours

• developmental disorders (e.g. Autism Spectrum Disorders)

• attention deficit disorders

• bullying and friendships concerns

• phobias and fears

• depression and mood disorders

• toilet training difficulties

• family breakdown or separation

• issues surrounding grief and loss

• learning difficulties or giftedness

• social skills

• school refusal and self-esteem issues.

​​

Behavioural assessments/therapy are commonly used to help guide a child’s intervention and/or uncover the underlying function of challenging behaviours. We strongly believe that all behaviour has meaning and we work closely with those involved with your child to identify potential triggers and factors that may be exacerbating certain behaviours. We also work closely with you and your child to explore strategies for successfully behavioural modification that sit in line with your family strengths and values, and can incorporate tailored behavioural management plans into the child counselling support framework.

 

We take pride in helping you and your child reach your full potential. With our child counselling and psychology services, we work closely with parents, teachers and other professionals to ensure a coordinated and consistent approach to therapy. We offer practical solutions and strategies to problems with a focus being on helping your child become an independent and resilient young person.

Even if it appears to be a simple problem, child counselling can provide very beneficial through early intervention and ultimately can increase social, behavioural and emotional awareness.
