Child/Teen
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.

At Clarity Health Care, we provide specialised support for children, adolescents, and their families navigating emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges. Our experienced Malvern Psychologists and Fitzroy Psychologists work closely with young people to create a safe, understanding environment where they can explore their feelings, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.
We support a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, school difficulties, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, social challenges, emotional regulation, grief, and family transitions. Therapy is tailored to the child’s age, stage of development, and unique needs, often using a combination of talk therapy, play-based approaches, and skills training.

Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
My aimis to create a protected space where teens (over 13) can explore whatever is going on for them, without feeling judged or that they are expected to perform in some way. I combine clinical experience with with meditation and mindfulness to give the young people I work with something special, the opportunity to find their own sense of direction in the company of a supportive ally, eliminating that which is no longer relevant in their lives while developing new strengths.
