Psychology

Here at CliniKids, we understand that raising a child with a developmental difference or autism can come with wonderful moments of joy and very unique challenges.

Our experienced Psychology team, including Clinical Psychologists, has extensive experience working with children and their families to address common concerns such as anxiety, self-regulation difficulties, low mood, and challenging behaviours. We also work directly with siblings and parents to provide whole family support for any challenges you may be facing.

Our compassionate, understanding Psychology team focus first on providing a safe, warm, welcoming space for you and your family to share your story, your strengths and your concerns, then work together with you to better understand what might be underlying the difficulties and develop a plan to move forward together.

The team are trained in a variety of evidence-based intervention techniques, including dyadic developmental psychotherapy, attachment based therapy, mentalisation based therapy, the interpersonal neurobiological approach, cognitive behaviour therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.

The Psychology team work closely with our Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists to provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary service that is individualised to best suit the unique needs of your family. We offer rebated sessions through a mental health care plan, and private health rebates apply.

If you would like to know if your child may benefit from Psychology support, please contact our team.
