Our Clinical Foundations
A Gentle, Evidence Based Approach to Child Wellbeing
We understand that seeking psychological support for your child is a significant family step. Our practice is founded on compassionate collaboration, empirical rigor, and deep respect for every child's individuality.
Child Centred & Play Informed
We tailor every session to the unique developmental stage, passions, and communication style of each child in a safe, welcoming environment.
Evidence Based Care
Our clinical methodologies strictly adhere to validated psychological assessments and evidence backed interventions including CBT, ACT, and neuro affirming models.
Whole Family Collaboration
Meaningful developmental progress occurs through strong partnerships between parents, schools, pediatricians, and allied health professionals.
Neurodiversity Affirming
We recognize and celebrate diverse neurotypes, focusing on strengths, practical accommodations, and self-advocacy rather than deficit based approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our booking process, appointments, referrals, and Medicare rebates.
Do I need a GP referral to book an appointment?
No referral is strictly required to attend our practice as a private client. However, to access Medicare rebates under a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) or Chronic Disease Management Plan, a referral from your GP, pediatrician, or psychiatrist is necessary prior to your initial appointment.
What happens during the initial booking consultation?
For children under 14, the initial 50-minute consultation is typically conducted with parents/caregivers only. This provides a transparent space to explore developmental history, current concerns, family dynamics, and treatment goals without the child feeling self-conscious. For older adolescents, young people are invited to participate as appropriate.
Can I claim Medicare or Private Health insurance rebates?
Yes. With an eligible Mental Health Treatment Plan from your doctor, you can claim Medicare rebates for up to 10 individual psychology sessions per calendar year. Alternatively, private health funds often provide extras coverage for psychological consultations. Please check with your specific health insurer regarding benefit limits.
How long does a psychological assessment take?
A comprehensive psychological evaluation typically spans 3 to 4 clinical appointments, including an initial parent consultation, direct psychometric testing sessions with the child (usually 2–3 hours across 1–2 visits), and a comprehensive feedback consultation where the diagnostic report and recommendations are provided.
