Child and Adolescent Psychology
Developmentally appropriate support for children and teenagers, working closely with parents and caregivers.
About this service
Children and young people can experience emotional and behavioural difficulties just as adults do, though they may express them differently. Support is adapted to their age and stage of development.
Who may benefit
- Children and teenagers experiencing worry, sadness, anger or behavioural changes
- Young people facing school, social or family difficulties
- Parents seeking guidance on supporting their child
What to expect
The process usually begins with a meeting with parents or caregivers to understand the concerns, followed by sessions with the child or young person. Parents are kept involved in a way that respects the young person's privacy.
[Only offer this service if it falls within your training and scope of practice.]
Consultation format
Sessions are typically 45–50 minutes. In-person sessions are generally recommended for younger children.
Frequently asked questions
Psychological support is individual; experiences and outcomes vary from person to person.
Reaching out is a meaningful first step.
