Evidence-Based Approaches
Our clinicians tailor each intervention to meet your child’s unique needs, drawing from a variety of evidence-based and creative modalities:
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Helps identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns
Play Therapy
Encourages self-expression and problem-solving through age-appropriate play and exploration
Solution-Focused Therapy
Promotes practical, goal-oriented strategies for addressing immediate concerns
Mindfulness-Based Interventions
Enhances emotional regulation and stress management through present-moment awareness
Art Therapy
Provides a non-verbal outlet for processing difficult emotions and experiences
Session Details
Sessions typically run for 50 minutes and can be conducted face-to-face or via online platforms for greater convenience. Many families begin with fortnightly sessions, but frequency may be adjusted based on individual needs, progress, and ongoing evaluations.
Early Intervention & NDIS Support
For families eligible under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), we offer specialized support, including art therapy and other interventions tailored to children’s developmental requirements. Early identification and intervention can be pivotal in preventing future challenges and setting your child on a path to increased independence and well-being.
