There is no wrong door to getting mental health support

Good mental health helps us to handle stress, relate to others better and make healthy choices. Seeing one of our psychologists also means you are part of a broader mental health team that includes a variety of counselling, mental health nursing and social and community care options, available both within business hours and after hours.

We support children too

Our child psychologists can support both you and your child. We provide techniques and strategies to help you manage your child’s needs at home. Sometimes child psychology may identify other services your child could benefit from in conjunction with psychology.

Our psychology service provides short to medium-term assistance to families with children aged from birth to 12 years. This may be in the form of assessment, treatment, therapeutic programs and consultation with educators.

Some of the children who see us need help with:

  • Concentrating, sitting still or paying attention
  • Talking and being understood by others
  • Learning difficulties
  • Play skills
  • Self-care skills
  • Making friends
  • Managing feelings such as anger, sadness and frustration
