Melbourne’s Longest Established Child Psychology Clinic

Melbourne’s Longest Established Child Psychology Clinic

When your child or teen is struggling with big feelings, friendships, school or confidence, it can be hard to know how to help.

At Melbourne Children’s Psychology Clinic, we provide warm, evidence-based therapy for children and adolescents, helping them make sense of their emotions, develop coping skills, and feel more secure in themselves. We take the time to understand each young person’s strengths, needs and story, so support feels personalised, meaningful, and grounded in their unique development.

For over 15 years, we have worked exclusively with children, teenagers and their families. Our focus is on helping children and young people understand their emotions, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships and navigate daily challenges with greater confidence and self-awareness.

Parents and carers are an essential part of the process. We provide guidance, support and practical strategies so that progress continues at home and in everyday life.

We offer both therapy and comprehensive psychological and developmental assessments for children, teens and young adults up to 25 years of age, supporting families to better understand concerns and feel clear about next steps.

OUR FOCUS

OUR SERVICES

SUPPORTING EVERY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT

Each stage of childhood and adolescence brings different needs. We tailor support to your child’s age, communication style and developmental profile.

Children (4–11)

Adolescents (12–17)

Young Adults (18-25)

Infants, Parents & Families

Counselling & Therapy

We provide comprehensive psychological and developmental assessments for children, teens and young adults, including ADHD, Autism and Cognitive and Learning Assessments. Assessments help clarify what is going on beneath behaviours or challenges, exploring both strengths and support needs. Families receive clear, practical recommendations that inform school supports, therapy planning and next steps in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.

Assessments

We offer warm, evidence-based therapy for children, teens and young adults, tailored to their developmental stage and individual needs. Our psychologists focus on emotional understanding, coping skills, confidence and connection — working gently and collaboratively so young people feel safe, supported and understood. Therapy also includes guidance for parents and carers, helping you feel confident in supporting progress at home and in daily life.
