Children & Adolescents

Finding the right support for your child

Every child is unique and the factors that may be contributing to their difficulties can be varied. That’s why we treat each child very much as an individual, tailoring our treatment around their unique needs. 

 

Our child psychologists and psychiatrists can provide a wide range of specialist services for children and young people including individual therapy, family therapy, psychiatry, educational psychology and specialist assessments, depending on your child’s needs and age.

Frequently asked questions

Over the years, we have created a robust clinical team who specialise in the treatment of children and young people – child psychiatrists, psychologists, paediatric nurses, as well as other professionals.

 

We are experts in this area and offer a wide range of specialist assessments and innovative interventions for children and young people.

This can be a complex clinical decision. The best thing to do is to give us a call so that we can get a better understanding of the severity and history of your child’s symptoms. This will help us understand whether we need to consider a specialist neurodevelopmental assessment or whether they would be better seeing one of our child psychiatrists or psychologists.
In some cases, there will be a two part assessment – one with the child and the other with the parent/s. Ultimately, it will come down to the age of your child. The younger they are, the more involvement you’re likely to have. At a certain age, it’s important that we respect their individuality and need to be separate.
