Services
Depression Therapy
Our evidence-based depression treatment combines CBT and tailored therapy plans to alleviate symptoms and promote long-term recovery. We address individual needs through compassionate care and scientifically proven techniques, helping clients regain emotional stability and improve daily functioning.
Cognitive Assessments
We conduct comprehensive cognitive evaluations using WPPSI-IV and WISC-IV assessments for children aged 2.5-16 years. These standardised tests identify neurodevelopmental conditions like autism and ADHD, providing diagnostic clarity and informing targeted treatment plans for improved educational and therapeutic outcomes.
DBT Programs
Specialised Dialectical Behaviour Therapy programs address borderline personality disorder and emotional dysregulation. Our structured approach teaches distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills through individual and group sessions, empowering clients to manage impulsive behaviours and build healthier relationships.
Adolescent Support
Tailored interventions for teenagers with behavioural issues and social skills challenges. Using evidence-based methods like DBT, we help adolescents develop emotional regulation strategies, improve peer interactions, and navigate developmental challenges through family-inclusive therapy sessions.
Telehealth Services
Board-registered psychologists provide accessible mental health care via secure online platforms. Telehealth consultations offer flexible treatment for anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, maintaining the same evidence-based standards as in-person sessions while accommodating geographical and mobility constraints.
