Psychology

Our social and communication skills are crucial for healthy development and enabling us to live a full life. For individuals with autism, development can be delayed or even regressed as have difficulty understanding their own feelings, and communicating with those around them.

Our qualified psychologists will know the best way to help your child continue forward and start achieving goals. Working closely with parents, carers and professionals, we develop a plan unique to your child and provide support in an open, honest and caring environment.

From diagnosis through to therapy

Our psychologists provide a range of services, including:

• Autism diagnosis and assessment
• Assessing children’s social skills, behaviour, play and cognitive abilities
• Managing anxiety and emotions
• Understanding feelings
• Conversation skills
• Social skills, such as making and keeping friends
• Individual and group therapy sessions

Sessions typically run for 60 minutes, meeting fortnightly or more often if needed, either in-person or online via telehealth.

Would my child benefit

Our psychologists provide therapy to many children, often supporting them with things like ADHD, transitioning to a new school year, mental health, social and communication skills, self-identity and simply navigating life’s difficulties. Our psychologists are patient, caring and supportive – ready to help you and your child tackle the challenges they face.

Not just for children

Our focus is on supporting the entire family – which is why our psychologists provide sessions not just for children, but also for parents, siblings, carers and other people within a young person’s network. Additional services we offer include:

• Parent and carer education
• Behaviour management training

Our psychologists are experienced and understand the challenges faced by many parents and carers.
