What are Psychologists for children?

Our Psychologists are specialists in positive behaviour support, social and emotional wellbeing. They will work with you to support your child to understand their own feelings.

They will support your child to get along with others and feel confident in themselves at home, preschool and school. They will also help you to develop motivating activities that improve your child’s concentration and memory.
