Because therapy is most effective when the connection feels right, we begin by matching your child with a psychologist who is likely to suit their needs. From there, we focus on evidence-informed strategies that build coping skills, confidence and wellbeing — with parents supported throughout.

As part of the ANSA Health network, we can draw from a vast pool of psychologists to help make the right match for your child.

If You’re Worried About Your Child, You’re Not Alone

Many families seek support when challenges become persistent or begin to affect daily life. Meeting with a psychologist can help children and parents understand what’s happening and explore ways to respond more effectively.

Families often get in touch about:

  • Anxiety, stress, or difficulty managing emotions

  • Low mood, sadness, or withdrawal from activities

  • Behavioural challenges or frequent conflict at home

  • School refusal or learning-related stress

  • Friendship difficulties, bullying or social isolation

  • Adjusting to family changes, separation or loss

What Families May Experience

Therapy aims to provide understanding and build skills. Experiences vary, but families sometimes notice:

  • Less tension around daily routines

  • Greater confidence in managing emotions

  • Clearer communication at home

  • Parents feeling more supported and informed

These examples reflect common experiences but are not guaranteed outcomes. Every child is different.
