When your child’s behaviour stops making sense, it is hard to know where to start

School is calling more often. Mornings feel like a battle. Small things turn into big meltdowns. The strategies people suggest do not seem to hold.

You may have already tried rewards, consequences, staying calm, and picking your battles. When none of it works, it is easy to start wondering whether you are the problem.

You are not the problem.

Your child’s behaviour is telling you something. Our job is to help you understand what it means, and what to do next.

Full picture. Clear plan. Parent capability.

At Relational Minds, we help families make sense of complex behaviour, emotional distress, learning concerns, and neurodevelopmental differences.

We look at the full picture, then help you move forward with a clear plan that fits your child, your family, and your school context.

What support can include

A discovery appointment
Assessment and formulation
Practical guidance for home and school
Family therapy
Child therapy
Therapeutic parenting support
Child psychiatric input when needed

If psychiatric assessment or medication becomes part of the picture, our child psychiatrist is already part of the team. You do not have to start again somewhere else.

Hear from parents who’ve been where you are.

Alberto has such a wonderful, caring team who are super supportive and knowledgeable around neurodivergence. Our family has been with Relational Minds for years and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Special thanks to Lani Kent who has always gone above and beyond and made navigating the system so much easier. She’s a superstar! Also a shout out to William and Israel for their past and ongoing care and support.

I can not recommend Lani and the team at Relational Minds enough. I have worked in social services for over twenty years and I have never seen a mental health assessment and reports done as perfectly as those provided by Lani and the team at Relational Minds. The team at this service performed a multimodal assessment on a young man whose existing care team had neglected to see the need for a full and proper ASD assessment. Not only did the highly skilled staff at relational minds complete an incredibly thorough assessment, they diagnosed Autism to a significant degree. This diagnosis was explained to all in the care team in two beautifully written reports that explained the testing and the results in a manner that was easily accessible to everyone who read it. If you want top quality mental health assessments and services, PLEASE work with Relational Minds. They're magnificent!

Excellent organisation. Admin staff are friendly, respectful and quick to respond to enquiries. Great team approach to working with clients and other providers too

Our family were without support for a long time; yes it takes a while to find the right team. As parents we have tried many things and was desperately seeking help. Dr Alberto and his team of professional staff are always invested in the wellbeing of the child and the whole family in a holistic view. Our son has been slowly engaging with all therapists. We are so appreciative with all that you are doing. Email Email Email if you need to get through or change appointments, pretty much anything you must do this! The ladies are very helpful and work extremely hard. They are the for front of the business. Don’t give up on this service. The clinic is clean bright and very welcoming. Great job everyone!!!!

Could not recommend Maddi and Alberto highly. From a scared mum not knowing what the assessment faze would look like for my son I worked with Maddi and Alberto to talk through the needs of my child to help me better understand and support him. Very responsive, understanding & helpful. Thank you again team for the support.
