Children & Adolescent Coaching – Complimentary Consultation
Is your child or teenager struggling with ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence?
Young people with ADHD, autism or learning differences often experience challenges with focus, organisation, emotional regulation and school demands. Difficulties with study and revision skills are often linked to executive function development, and many young people also struggle with confidence, social interaction and communication.
Through specialist coaching, I work directly with children and adolescents to strengthen executive function skills such as planning, organisation, study and revision strategies, sustained attention and task completion. We also work on emotional regulation, confidence, and developing stronger social and communication skills.
I support parents as well, helping them better understand their child’s needs and offering practical guidance that strengthens communication and support at home and in school.
Book a complimentary consultation to explore how we can support your child’s development, learning and wellbeing.

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.

Online in Hobart, Tasmania
Hobart is Tasmania's compact capital and the smallest of Australia's state capital cities, with a mental health landscape shaped by the challenges of geographic isolation, an ageing population, and a slower-paced economy relative to mainland Australia. The city has a vibrant creative and arts community, and arts-based therapeutic approaches have found a particularly receptive audience here, while the surrounding regions of rural Tasmania face more significant access challenges for which telehealth has become essential. Mental health services in Hobart are available through Tasmania's public system and a private sector that, while growing, is smaller than in larger Australian cities; wait times for publicly funded care can be considerable. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, seasonal mood changes, and the life transition challenges experienced by those who relocate to or from Tasmania.
