Paediatric Psychology Services in Adelaide
Supporting Emotional Growth in Children and Young People
Therabees child and adolescent psychology services focus on nurturing resilience, emotional awareness, and confidence, because every young mind deserves a safe space to thrive.
What is Paediatric Psychology?
At Therabees, our Paediatric Psychology Services in Adelaide provide tailored emotional and behavioural support for children and young people. We use evidence-based therapies to help manage anxiety, build coping strategies, and promote positive emotional development.
Our psychologists work closely with families and educators to understand each child’s strengths, challenges, and goals—developing therapy plans that make a lasting impact.
Did You Know?
In Australia, 1 in 7 children aged 4–17 experience a mental health disorder each year.
Yet, many families delay support due to stigma or uncertainty. Therapy can help children and adolescents build confidence, regulate emotions, and develop skills to navigate life’s challenges.
How Paediatric Psychology Services in Adelaide Can Help
Mental health challenges often start early and affect learning, social interactions, and daily life. Without support, they may lead to long-term emotional distress.
- Children might experience anxiety, stress, low mood, or emotional outbursts.
- They may struggle with friendships, focus, self-esteem, or body image.
- Families often feel unsure where to start or how to help.
Our psychologists support young people in areas such as:
- Supporting Neurodiversity – Therabees is a Neuro-affirming clinic.
- Developing Healthy Coping Strategies – Managing stress, anxiety, and big emotions.
- Reducing Mental Health Symptoms – Addressing depression, trauma, and behavioural concerns.
- Improving Self-Awareness & Understanding – Helping children recognise and express their emotions.
- Strengthening Communication & Relationships – Enhancing social skills and interactions.
- Shifting Negative Thought Patterns – Encouraging positive thinking and emotional resilience.
- Improving Emotional Regulation – Teaching age appropriate tools and coping strategies.
At Therabees, our psychology services provide clear guidance, early support, and compassionate care to help children and young people navigate their emotions and thrive.
