Our Child Psychologists have special interests in neurodivergent children, anxiety, school issues and assisting parents with behavioural issues.
We can meet the needs of both children, teens and adults with evidence based approaches in a safe environment where you feel heard. We currently have immediate availability for children and teens. Our Director created Nurturing Minds due to the need for a less clinical environment and more equality in the typical patient/expert dynamic. After-all, therapy is a collaborative process and the rapport you have with your Psychologist is the strongest predictor of treatment success.

Anxiety, self-esteem issues, overwhelming stress, grief and loss or trauma are some of the issues that I can address in collaboration with children, teens and adult clients.
As well as typical talk therapy, I utilise non-verbal, creative interventions to enable the expression of feelings, emotions and thoughts through drawing or using miniatures during sessions. This helps to communicate relevant issues and enhance self-understanding, self-development and healing when finding the right words is simply too difficult.

If you have a personal history of Adoption/Supplemented Care, or if you are a Foster Carer, Adoptive Parent or Care Provider, I can offer you compassion & work with the child in your life to deal with the confusion and challenges caused by relinquishment, numerous placements and adverse experiences.
Were you adopted or fostered as a child? Are you parenting an adopted/fostered child you’d like to bring to counselling? Being relinquished presents episodic and life-long challenges. Through counselling, I can support you, or the child in your care, to identify, make sense of & manage the misunderstood challenges & trauma symptoms that result from relinquishment trauma, complex grief, attachment disruption, identity loss or search & reunion. Post-Adoption Counselling can help alleviate confusion, validate one’s experience, disrupt shame, increase a sense of Self and empower individuals to grow beyond their pain & circumstance.
