Therapy, Psychiatry & Ongoing Support page
Therapeutic support to help your child feel safer, more connected, and better understood at home.
When it's not about a diagnosis
Sometimes you don’t need an assessment. Your child is struggling, they’re not feeling safe or settled, and what you want is steady, ongoing support to help them through it. That’s the work this part of our service does.
How our therapy works
Our therapy works through the relationships around your child, because that’s where children heal. We start with safety and connection, and the work builds from there, at your child’s pace rather than a fixed timeline. The focus is emotional regulation and repairing connection, so home feels safer and your child feels more understood.
What's available
Family therapy, to strengthen the relationships around your child. Individual therapy for your child.
Art therapy.
Therapeutic parenting support, to help you respond differently in the hard moments.
Emotional regulation and relationship repair.
Child psychiatry, for diagnostic clarity and medication management when it's needed.
How it works
Psychiatry built into the team
When a psychiatric question or medication comes into it, that input sits inside the same team. You’re not referred out and asked to start over with someone new, which keeps the care joined up and moving.
Who it's for
Children and families who want ongoing therapeutic support, whether or not you’ve had an assessment with us, and whether your child is working through anxiety, big emotions, difficulty at school, or the effects of a hard start. If you’re not sure it’s the right fit, get in touch and we’ll help you work it out.
How to start
Get in touch and our team will guide you through the intake process and recommend the right starting point for your child. [Confirm whether new families begin with a discovery appointment, and note that here so expectations are set.]
Where we work
Available in-clinic at Sunbury, Mildura, and Bendigo, and via telehealth across Australia.
Do we need a diagnosis or an assessment first?
No. This support is open to families whether or not they’ve been assessed, with us or anywhere else.
Is psychiatry included?
Psychiatric input is available within the same team when it’s needed, for diagnostic questions and medication management. [Confirm how psychiatry access is arranged and any referral requirement.]
Can we do this by telehealth?
Yes. We see families in clinic at our three sites and by telehealth across Australia.
What does it cost, and are there rebates?
[Confirm fees, Medicare rebate arrangements with a referral, and any NDIS pathways.]
Steady support, at your child's pace
If your child needs ongoing therapeutic support, get in touch and we’ll help you find the right place to start.
