therapy

The aim of therapy is to support meaningful change and help you and your child work towards identified goals. Psychologists are trained in understanding behaviour thoughts and emotions and people seek therapy for many different reasons most often when something no longer feels right or when support is needed during a challenging time. Therapy can assist in developing new ways to problem solve manage stress and navigate emotional or behavioural difficulties.
Kate works within evidence-based frameworks including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and provides a respectful confidential and supportive space for exploration and growth. Therapy is delivered in a developmentally appropriate way and for children incorporates play fun and creativity within an environment of acceptance curiosity and safety.
