Child or Adolescent Issues
Ruth Schmidt Neven Phd
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
Child and adolescent issues are always best understood in the context of parental and family relationships as the behaviour however annoying is a form of communication on the part of the child or adolescent. For this reason, it is important for both parents to be actively involved in the assessment and treatment process. This helps to empower them to manage difficulties as they arise in the future.

Vanessa Harnischmacher
Counsellor/Therapist, Bach of Social Science (Psychology), Grad Dip Couple and Family Therapy.
I am passionate about supporting parents to understand and develop strategies to support their child or adolescent's wellbeing. This means children are not labelled or stigmatised and helps to strengthen the bond between parent and child. I utilise attachment theory and neuropsychology to help you provide the most effective support for your child.

Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologists - Dr Peter Gibbons and Adri Hunt
Both Adri Hunt and Peter Gibbons take a developmental view in their work with children, acknowledging the child's needs and limited capacity to deal with difficult or overwhelming experiences. They frequently work with parents and separated parents to help them to first connect with the child before they correct disruptive behaviours. They also have experience in working with traumatised children utilising sandplay, drawing and other projective techniques

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked young people & their families since the beginning of my career & I am passionate about supporting this age group. I recognise the importance of working within an MDT framework, using trauma informed practice & working closely with families and significant others. For me, adolescence is such an important time for mental health support because it is the last opportunity before adulthood for creating change pathways. I believe it is vital to utilise the brain elasticity of adolesence (whenever possible) to give young people the best start to adulthood they can have.
