Psychology provides support for learning and development, managing behaviours, emotions and thoughts, and maintaining and improving mental health – as well as providing helpful thinking strategies and problem-solving.
Our child psychologists are experienced in working with children, young adults and families and can assist with a range of diagnosed mental health disorders as well as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression and learning difficulties.
And they will also work with you and your family on any challenges that you may experience, and any challenging behaviours you need to learn how to manage.
These can include friendship and relationship difficulties and navigating changes and transitions in their lives and transitions, such as moving into a new school, a family’s separation, and even dealing with the pressures of social media.
Our approach is based on an initial assessment and is then tailored to the needs and circumstances of you and your family.

What do our child psychology services involve?
At ESA, our psychology team involves varied mental health clinicians, including psychologists, provisional psychologists, accredited mental health social workers, as well as art therapists.
This allows a diverse group of clinicians with various skills to support your family in learning new skills, learning to manage their thoughts and feelings, and overcome the difficulties by focusing on the child’s strengths and nurturing and growing them.
It doesn’t need to be a diagnosed mental health disorder for you to need our psychology services. We help anyone who needs support, and their therapy or treatment will be tailored to each individual.
We will often meet with you initially to gather background information and comprehensive history to help a clinician understand your child’s development. The sessions then would be a combination of working with your child, working with the parent or caregiver, and then working altogether.
