Who we see

Support for every stage of life

We work with you as an individual and, where it helps, with your family too.

Child psychology

Therapy to help children thrive at home and at school, with parents and carers involved along the way. We support children with anxiety, big feelings, behaviour, friendships, learning and neurodiversity.

Adolescent psychology

A space for teenagers to work through the big stuff at their own pace, including anxiety, low mood, school refusal, bullying, self-esteem and family change.

Adult psychology

Support for anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationships, grief and work pressures, with a focus on skills that fit into everyday life.

Parents and families

Practical parenting strategies that work in real life, and support for families going through separation, conflict or change.

Our approach

Evidence-based therapy, practical strategies

Every plan starts with the same question: what will actually work for you at home, at school or at work?

CBT

Cognitive behavioural therapy

Shift unhelpful thoughts and habits with practical, structured tools.

ACT

Acceptance and commitment therapy

Make room for hard feelings and act on what matters most to you.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness

Simple, evidence-based strategies for stress, worry and big feelings.

Attachment

Attachment-informed therapy

Build stronger, safer relationships between children and the adults around them.

Trauma

EMDR-informed practice

Support to process difficult experiences and trauma.

Parenting programs

Practical, evidence-based one-on-one programs that help parents build stronger relationships and calmer days at home.

01

Behavioural Parenting Training

Stronger relationships, calmer routines

Practical strategies for building a stronger relationship with your child and managing everyday behaviour. Sessions cover child-led play and praise, effective use of rewards, clear and consistent limits and appropriate consequences, all practised at home between sessions.

02

ROAR

Regulating Overload and Rage, for kids around 8 to 12

A structured program for children who have frequent meltdowns or explosive behaviour. ROAR combines emotion regulation skills with Collaborative Problem Solving, helping children spot and manage frustration before it escalates, and helping families work through the problems behind the behaviour together.

The goal: fewer explosive episodes, stronger coping skills and better family relationships.

03

Collaborative Problem Solving

Developed by Dr Ross Greene

CPS is built on the idea that kids do well if they can. Challenging behaviour usually reflects a skill a child hasn't developed yet, not a lack of motivation. Instead of relying on rewards or punishment, we work with your child to understand what's getting in the way and solve problems together.

04

Support for neurodivergent children

Tailored to your child

Tailored strategies for parents raising autistic children, children with ADHD or children with other neurodevelopmental differences.
