Child Therapy

It takes a village to raise a child, and at The Whole Family, we are grateful to be part of that village for many families. Our clinical psychologists and allied health clinicians offer family-focused psychology and allied health services tailored to each child’s unique needs. As a parent, you will be in included in the assessment and treatment process and sessions will include feedback and parenting strategies so that we can support you in supporting your child.

We see children and adolescents who are having difficulty with:

  • Adjusting and dealing with stress (changes such as parental separation, a move, the death of a loved one, or stressful situations such as exam and study expectations)
  • Coping with worries
  • Dealing with trauma
  • Emotion regulation (anger outbursts, tantrums)
  • Expressing feelings
  • Enjoying life
  • Self-harming thoughts and actions
  • Achieving what is expected of them, whether it be behaviourally or academically (including learning difficulties and behavioural issues such as defiance)
  • Interacting and communicating with others
  • Bullying and peer relationships
  • Concentrating in class
  • Sleeping, eating and toileting
  • Self-esteem, confidence and resilience
