Therapeutic Intervention

The type of therapeutic intervention best suited to you and your child will be decided collaboratively with your psychologist, with careful consideration of your child’s developmental stage, strengths, needs, and preferred ways of learning and interacting. Therapeutic support is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Pre-school aged children

  • For pre-school aged children, therapy is most effective when it focuses primarily on working with parents and carers. At this stage of development, children rely heavily on the adults around them to support emotional regulation, communication, and behaviour. Intervention therefore centres on building parent understanding, confidence, and strategies that can be embedded naturally within everyday routines and relationships.

Primary School Aged Children

  • For younger children, intervention often focuses on supporting emotional awareness and helping parents understand the meaning behind behaviours, recognising these as forms of communication. As children develop greater self-awareness and regulation skills, therapy may place more emphasis on practical, strategy-based support, with parents and carers continuing to play an important role in creating consistency across environments.

Teens and Adolescents

  • Teenagers and adolescents often value greater independence in therapy as they build confidence in managing emotional and everyday challenges. With their consent, involving parents as collaborative supporters can remain a helpful and supportive part of the therapeutic process.
