Therapy

Through understanding emotional and behavioural difficulties, and incorporating attachment theory, neuroscience, and a low arousal approach, collaborative partnerships flourish.

Therapy Sessions

Initial Consultation

When beginning therapy with The Kidd Clinic an Initial Consultation is required. This session provides an opportunity for background information to be gathered, identifying an individual's strengths and challenges, and the setting of individualised therapy goals. You may be asked to complete some brief questionnaires as part of this session. Initial Consultations are 50 minutes in length.

Ongoing Sessions

Therapy sessions provide ongoing support for children, adolescents and adults and/or family members in a safe, relaxed, and non-judgemental environment. The purpose of therapy is to understand and embrace the unique needs, strengths and challenges of the individual and to build their life skills, such as better management of emotions, self-awareness, and improved ability to form and maintain relationships. Sessions are 50 minutes long. Shorter or longer sessions may be possible upon request. Areas covered in therapy may include:

  • Managing emotions including anxiety, anger, aggression and depression

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

  • Pathological Demand Avoidance Presentation

  • Challenging behaviours

  • Self-awareness and self-esteem

  • School problems including bullying, school refusal, and challenging behaviour

  • School accommodations and advocacy

  • Home education planning and support

  • Social and relationship development

  • Unemployment, career planning and development

  • Supporting families experiencing difficulties
