Unique Brains prides itself on being at the forefront of cutting-edge, evidence-based psychological practice for Children, Adolescents and Adults with neurodevelopmental, neurobehavioural, and psychological disorders. We have a special interest in the health and functioning of the brain, and provide both assessment and treatment that promote neuroplasticity and optimal brain functioning.
We can offer breakthrough non-invasive, drug-free treatment to help develop self-regulation and changes in neurological arousal, often lacking in traditional psychotherapeutic techniques.
Paediatric and Psychiatric referrals are given priority regarding assessments and intervention services. We also prioritise intervention for clients who have completed the assessment process at Unique Brains.
Due to the limited number of available appointments each week, a wait time may apply for general child and adolescent intervention services and for those who have completed a psychological assessment externally. For these clients, please contact the clinic to find out if a wait time currently applies for general intervention.
For Adult services, there is currently no wait time for psychological intervention services.
We are able to provide psychological intervention programs and counselling for a wide range of developmental, psychological, and behavioural conditions, including:

The Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) is one of the most effective evidence-based parenting programs in the world, backed up by more than 35 years of ongoing research. Triple P gives parents simple and practical strategies to help them build strong, healthy relationships, confidently manage their children’s behaviour and prevent problems from developing. Triple P is currently used in more than 25 countries and has been shown to work across cultures, socio-economic groups, and in many different kinds of structures.
Triple P gives parents the skills they need to become problem solvers and confidently manage their child’s issues independently, rather than relying on the ongoing support of a practitioner. For more information visit the Triple P website at triplep.net.
Dr Rachael has completed advanced training with Prof Matt Sanders and his colleagues at the University of Queensland, where the Triple P program was developed. She has been involved with running parenting groups and researching the effectiveness of Triple P in group settings, along with individual programs for parents of children with disabilities. Dr Rachael is an accredited Triple P provider in the areas of Standard Triple P, Enhanced Triple P, and Stepping Stones Triple P (for children with disabilities).
