Has your child been experiencing mental health concerns? It’s important to find care that understands what they are going through and supports them the right way.
At Inner View Psychology, our psychologists are experienced in supporting children aged six and up. Whether it's navigating challenging behaviour, managing intense emotions, or simply feeling more secure, our team is here to help.
Children and young people face challenges they may not yet have the experience to navigate alone. Our team works closely with them to support a range of concerns, including:
⦿ Low self-esteem
⦿ Relationship challenges
⦿ Emotional regulation
⦿ Grief and loss
⦿ Depression
⦿ Anxiety
⦿ Trauma
⦿ Life changes
⦿ Neurodiversity
⦿ Eating disorders
At Inner View Psychology, we believe getting the right support for your child should be straightforward. Here's how to get started:
Simply reach out to our team. We're happy to answer any questions and help organise the most appropriate care for your child.
We'll take the time to sit down with your child, understand their concerns, and develop a personalised treatment plan that suits their individual needs.
From there, sessions are dedicated to their support, drawing on a range of therapies tailored to their needs, including CBT, ACT, Animal Assisted Therapy, and more.
Yes. We work with young people from age six through adolescence. Our approach adapts to suit different developmental stages, as sessions with teenagers tend to be more conversational and focused on building insight, confidence, and practical coping strategies.
Keep it simple. Let your child know they're going to meet someone whose job is to listen, not judge. Reassure them they don't have to talk about anything they're not comfortable with. If they're anxious about starting therapy, let our team know; we're experienced at helping kids feel at ease.
Yes. Parents and carers are usually an important part of the process. Your child’s <a href="https://www.innerviewpsychology.com.au/">psychologist</a> will keep you informed of progress where appropriate and may offer guidance on supporting your child at home between sessions. In some cases, if a young person is assessed as having Gillick competence, they may be able to consent to treatment and choose the level of parent or carer involvement.
Yes. School refusal is often connected to anxiety, social difficulties, or strong emotions that feel too overwhelming to manage. Our psychologists work with children and their families in an effort to understand what's driving it and develop a supportive plan to help.
This varies depending on your child's individual needs and goals. Some children may need only a few sessions to make progress, while others may benefit from longer-term support.
Your child's psychologist will discuss this with you early on and check in regularly as therapy progresses.
We use evidence-based approaches to support your child, with in-person sessions designed to help them feel comfortable.
We work closely with local GPs to coordinate your child's care so they receive well-rounded support.
Located in Melbourne's inner west, we offer compassionate, accessible support to children, families, and our local community.
