Child and Adolescent Psychologists have a particular interest in assessing and treating psychological problems that arise in childhood and adolescence. ​This can be a time of both disorientation and discovery and can cause issues of independence, self-identity, peer pressure, stress and anxiety.
Psychology can assist in the transitional stages and our therapists provide evidence-based models to understand the causes of the difficulties and apply strategies to assist with them.​
