Child and Adolescent Therapy

Mental health is a crucial focus at all stages of life, however it’s particularly important to build a strong foundation in childhood and throughout the teenage years. This is the key to the wellbeing and healthy development of a child, and good mental health can help them to deal with challenges, feel good about themselves, adapt to change and build healthy relationships with others.

Children are most at risk of mental health issues between the ages of 12 to 16, so it’s important to seek help for those who are struggling as early as possible. In Australia, around 1 in 7 children and adolescents aged 4 to 17 have recently experienced a mental health disorder. This is why we’re passionate about providing psychology services to support young people in the Midland area.

We recognise that, just like adults, children and teenagers can commonly experience mental health challenges, particularly as their brains and bodies are still developing. It is easy for young people to struggle to articulate their emotions or what’s wrong to their parents or caregivers, so it’s important to seek help from someone who specialises in child psychology or teenage psychology to understand their behaviour. 

Our team is experienced in helping children and adolescents to overcome their mental health difficulties in a wide range of areas, including:
