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.

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.

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.

PELLA Wellness.
Registered Psychotherapist, Amanda Guilfoyle. M.Gestalt T. B.SocSci (Couns)
I have worked extensively with children and adolescents both one on one and running therapeutic groups in schools. I have also worked as a school counsellor in primary schools and high schools . When working with children the adults and carers in their life are always invited to be part of the process. I connect easily with children and young people and work alongside family ,carers and support workers to navigate and dissipate challenging behaviour . There is so much hope for children in therapy to be able to express themsleves in creative ways , give language to their emotional needs and learn different behaviours that will better support their life socially , emotionally and educationally . The teenage years can be fraught with difficulies due to the enormous growth happening on so many levels . This often leaves parents feeling bewildered . Therapeutic support can be beneficial as the young person navigates all these changes. I use a range of evidence based modalities such as Play therapy , Sand tray therapy and Acceptance and Commitment therapy . I also use poly- vagal techniques. Therapy can be fun for young ones !
