Psychology Intervention appointments
Psychology intervention appointments are 50 minutes in duration and provide individualised strategies to support a child and family's needs. Initial appointment often requires a parent-only session to attain background information and explore parents' concerns and goals. It is ideal if both parents can attend. Subsequent appointments will predominantly be with the child/adolescent and feedback will be provided to parents/carers at conclusion of session.
Please bring previous assessments and investigations by other specialist medical or allied health professionals.

When a patient does not provide adequate notice, other children lose their opportunity to be seen.
