Therapy for children and adolescents
I work with children and adolescents experiencing a range of emotional, behavioural, developmental and school-related difficulties, using evidence-based approaches suited to each young person's age and developmental stage.
Support for a wide range of concerns
Every young person is different. These are some of the areas I commonly work with:
Working alongside parents and caregivers
The best outcomes tend to occur when young people and their families are engaged in the process and willing to work collaboratively.
I value families who are open to understanding their child's individual needs, strengths and challenges, and who are willing to try practical strategies and make changes where needed.
With adolescents
I aim to build a trusting relationship that gives them a genuine voice in the process, while working alongside parents to provide appropriate support and guidance.
Curiosity and creativity
Although I am serious and dedicated to my work, I bring a sense of curiosity, playfulness and childlike wonder to sessions, particularly with children and young people.
Neuroaffirming and individualised
I take a neuroaffirming approach, recognising and respecting differences in how people think, communicate, learn, experience and interact with the world. The focus is on understanding each young person as a whole, rather than assuming that differences in neurotype are inherently problematic.
Therapy is individualised and collaborative, with interventions selected according to what is clinically appropriate for each child and their family.
Evidence-based approaches I draw on, selected for each person:
Assessments for children and adolescents
Assessment can help develop a clearer understanding of a young person's learning profile, explore possible ADHD or autism, or clarify cognitive and academic strengths and difficulties.
