Primary school years lead to a widening of your child’s world, with new environments and interaction with teachers, classmates, sports coaches and extracurricular classes. Little Tree clinicians are able to assess behavioural issues, anxiety, concentration problems, mood changes, and social skills. Assessment for psychological illnesses such as Depression, Anxiety Disorders and for developmental conditions such as Autism and ADHD can be a turning point for children obtaining the support they need at home, at school, and in therapy.
The Circle of Security Parenting Program can be helpful for parents during therapy for their child, and the principles can be applied to the classroom as well. Little Tree doctors are able to work with your child’s school to assist teachers to provide support for your child. Individual therapy for your child may involve a mix of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Supportive psychotherapy and play therapy.
