Our highly skilled and experienced Educational and Developmental Psychologists are able to provide counselling and psychological treatment programs for a wide range of developmental, psychological, and behavioural conditions, including:
Prior to the commencement of a counselling program, a thorough clinical assessment of the young person's presenting difficulty will be included, which will help to determine the nature and severity of the presenting condition. This assessment may include information from parents, teachers, other professionals, and the young person themselves. These results will then be discussed with parents/caregivers, and recommendations for intervention will be discussed. Your child's intervention program will be based on their specific needs, understanding that each child has unique developmental capabilities.
Psychological treatment modalities for children include:
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).
