Child Counselling & Child Psychology Services in Sydney
Make
Meaningful Change
We provide individual counselling for children, adolescents, parents and families. Our treatment plans are designed to meet the specific needs of each child, adolescent and/or family member. All treatment is trauma-informed, neurodevelopmentally and attachment sensitive, which targets emotional regulation and distress tolerance. The main goal of treatment is for individuals to be able to tell their stories and make meaning of their experiences without the overwhelming and devastating impact of re-traumatisation, while being able to make meaningful change moving forward.
We also offer online parenting courses to support families beyond the therapy room. These courses provide practical, evidence-informed strategies to help parents better understand their child’s needs, respond with greater clarity and calm, and navigate common parenting challenges in everyday family life.
