How our psychologists can help
A psychologist can help others in a variety of ways from investigating factors that drive a teenager’s behaviour to understanding how a child utilises language to navigate their world.
Our Bright Door psychologists can provide psychological consultation and assessment if a child is experiencing difficulty with participating in classroom activities, building meaningful relationships or experiencing anxiety or stress at school. Our psychologist can provide evidence-based strategies that may help a child or young person overcome challenges and difficulties in the classroom, at home or in the community. The psychologist can assist with the following:
- Building meaningful relationships
- Social skills
- Anxiety
- Depression
- School refusal
- Emotional regulation
- Play and turn-taking abilities
- Relationships and attachments within family systems
- Confidence building
