Child & Adolescent Therapy at Mind Health

How it helps

Young people respond best to therapy tailored to their stage of development. Our clinicians use age-appropriate, evidence-based approaches (CBT, ACT and family-inclusive work) and involve parents and carers where it helps.

Sessions are paced to build trust, with practical strategies for anxiety, low mood, big feelings and school stress.

Who it's for

Children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, low mood, school stress, big emotions or behavioural change — and parents seeking guidance and support.

  • Anxiety
  • Low mood

What to expect

Parent / carer intake

We start by understanding your concerns and the young person's world.

Getting to know them

Early sessions build trust and a developmentally-appropriate understanding.

Skills & support

Age-appropriate strategies for worry, mood, big feelings and school stress.

Family involvement

Fees & funding

Therapy sessions may attract a Medicare rebate under a Mental Health Care Plan (Better Access) — ask your GP whether you're eligible for up to 10 subsidised sessions a year. Most private health 'extras' also cover psychology. We'll explain the gap fee before you book.
