What is child psychology?
Child psychology supports how your child thinks, feels, behaves and gets along with others. It can help with big emotions, worries, behaviour, friendships, learning and family life.
Our licensed psychologists understand neurodivergent children. We look at what’s behind the behaviour, build on your child’s strengths and give your family practical tools that work in daily life.
We don’t aim to change who your child is. We help them feel understood, cope better and enjoy life more.
Assessment and therapy plans are individual. They are made by qualified clinicians after careful assessment.
Understoodtoday. Moreconfidenttomorrow.
Who this helps
Psychology support can help if your child:
- Has frequent meltdowns, anger or big emotions
- Seems anxious, worried or afraid of new situations
- Refuses school or certain everyday activities
- Struggles with friendships or feels left out
- Has low self-esteem or talks negatively about themselves
- Has trouble with sleep, routines or changes
- Is struggling with learning, reading or attention at school
- Is autistic, has ADHD or another diagnosis and needs emotional support
These signs don’t mean something is wrong with your child. They mean it may be time to get support.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need a referral?
If you have reports from a doctor or school, please bring them.
At what age can my child see a psychologist?
If you’re unsure, ask us.
Does my child need a diagnosis?
No. Psychology support is based on your child’s needs, with or without a diagnosis.
What happens in a therapy session?
It depends on your child’s age. Younger children often work through play, older children through talking and practical activities.
Will I be involved?
Yes. We keep you informed and share strategies you can use at home. Older children may have some time alone with the psychologist, and we’ll explain how that works.
Is what my child says kept confidential?
Yes, within professional and legal limits. If we’re worried about anyone’s safety, we will act to protect them. We’ll explain this at the first session.
Can a psychologist prescribe medication?
No. Psychologists don’t prescribe medication. If medication may help, our paediatric team can discuss it with you.
Can you assess for dyslexia or learning difficulties?
Yes. A learning assessment can help explain why your child is finding school hard and what support will help.
How much does it cost?
Fees depend on the type of assessment and therapy. Contact us for current pricing.
You don’t have to figure out the next step alone.
Tell us what you’ve been noticing. We’ll listen, answer your questions and help you find the right support for your child.
