What is a Child Psychologist?
Psychologists use a combination of evidence based therapies and treatments to achieve positive outcomes for children, teenagers and families. Depending on the needs of the individual a Psychologist may use techniques and strategies based on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) or Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) for mood based disorders. We adapt these treatments to the individual in order to make the sessions engaging, useful and practical. Learning behaviour management and emotional regulation principles can also be helpful for a number of developmental conditions. When working with some children and teenagers it is important for the Psychologist to develop skills and problem solving abilities to encourage flexibly thinking and social interactions.
Our clinicians are adept at making children feel comfortable and safe during our sessions. We understand that when a young person sees a Psychologist for the first time it can be a daunting experience. We work closely with families to create a calm and enjoyable experience in our professional consulting rooms.
Each client is different and our clinician's recognises this. Psychologists create individualised treatment plans to address the unique difficulties of the individuals they are helping. When possible owe work closely with families to promote functional improvements. This can include parenting strategies, improving communication skills and teaching how to support your child in the implementation of the strategies they have learnt.

How Do Child Psychologists Help?
Psychologists are professionals with Postgraduate qualifications in the study of human behaviour, emotions and development. They have expertise and knowledge to help individuals with a range of mental health, developmental, behavioural and learning difficulties. Psychologists can work closely with other professionals such as General Practitioners, Paediatricians, Psychiatrists, Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Teachers to achieve success.
Some Psychologists focus on the assessment and treatment of specific populations such as Child & Adolescent Psychologists. These professionals target the understanding of early development and the teenage years to maximise their expertise in helping families. We can help by teaching young people how to better understand themselves, cope with difficult emotions and make rewarding life choices. At Oracle we also work closely with families wherever possible. This can include teaching parents strategies to help their children and improving communication skills within the home.
