Spectrum House provides individual psychology sessions for children, adolescents, and their families across a wide range of concerns. Our sessions are evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming, and tailored to the individual.
Our psychologists work with clients across a broad range of concerns — from anxiety and depression to social challenges, behavioural difficulties, self-esteem, and adjustment to life changes. We work with children from early primary school age through to adolescence, and also offer parent support sessions.
Sessions are structured around evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychoeducation. We take a practical approach — sessions include skill-building, real-world application, and regular review.
We also support parents separately. Understanding your child's psychology and how to respond effectively at home is a powerful part of the therapeutic process. Parent sessions can be standalone or run alongside your child's sessions.
Who This Is For
- Children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, low mood, or depression
- Young people facing social challenges or peer difficulties
- Children with behavioural concerns or emotional dysregulation
- Clients adjusting to change (school transitions, family change, grief)
- Parents seeking guidance on how to support their child
What to Expect
- An initial assessment session to understand your child's needs
- A collaborative therapy plan with clear goals
- Regular sessions combining strategies, skills practice, and reflection
- Parent involvement tailored to your child's age and needs
- Ongoing review of progress and adjustment of the plan as needed
Cost, Medicare & NDIS
Sessions are privately billed. Medicare rebates are available with a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP — this covers up to 10 individual psychology sessions per calendar year. NDIS participants with therapeutic supports in their plan may use those funds. Contact us for current fee information.
Do I Need a Referral?
No referral is needed to book an initial psychology session, though a GP referral (Mental Health Treatment Plan) is required to access Medicare rebates. Simply contact us to discuss availability and book a first appointment.

How are sessions structured for younger children?
For younger children, sessions often incorporate play, drawing, and age-appropriate activities alongside conversation. We adapt our approach to suit the child's age and developmental level.
