Child/Teen
Alexina Baldini
Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
Children and adolescents are increasingly the focus of concern for many adults, including their parents and other key family members or friend. We have staff who specialise in working with particular age groups, from pre-schoolers (when the adults caring for the child are key people included in the therapy) through to older adolescents whose needs for independence are often needing to be balanced with responsibility and risk. Good therapy provided for these age groups can set the individual up for successful relationships into the future and promote their ability to seek further support as required into the future.

I have experience working with parents, children and adolescents, and families.

I have experience with CBT and psychodynamic psychotherapies for young people.

Mindnest Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Couns
Supporting children and teenagers through emotional struggles, school stress, anxiety, or behavioural challenges takes a different approach than adult counselling. I work with young people from toddlers through to teens using age-appropriate, play-informed, and strength-based methods, and I support parents alongside their children where helpful.
