Psychology for Children

We have several experienced therapists on our psychology team who work with children, addressing issues including parenting concerns, child behaviour difficulties, child anxiety, depression, self-esteem and confidence, grief, adjustment to divorce, bed-wetting, making friends, and bullying.

For young children, we recommend booking your initial appointment without your son or daughter so that you can speak freely and thoroughly about your concerns. Please note that Medicare rebates cannot be claimed if an appointment is not personally attended by the person named on the referral.

Treatment for children may require joint sessions with your child, sessions alone with parents and/or sessions alone with your child depending on their age and concerns.  The best approach will be discussed with you along the way.

Creating Confidence for Life
The Creating Confidence for Life program is an evidence-based psychology group program which assists children aged 8 to 16 years to develop skills to manage and cope with feelings and situations that occur in everyday life.  The cognitive-behavioural program involves a 1.5 hour session each week for 10 weeks with children of a similar age.  Workbooks used during the program are yours to keep and refer to in the future.

Creating Confidence for Life teaches children to cope with anxiety more effectively and build emotional resilience, problem-solving abilities and self-confidence.  The program has been acknowledged by the World Health Organisation as an effective program for the prevention and treatment of anxiety and depression.
