About us
Led by Principal Psychologist
Craig Salisbury, we have experience working with kids, teens and adults alike.
We also work with parents and educators across childcare, kindy, primary school and secondary school settings, along with the multi-disciplinary teams that support families, including pediatricians, speech pathologists and occupational therapists.
Both in person and online (telehealth) consults are available, with these channels proving flexible and useful for a range of preferences and circumstances.
How
we help
Every person and mind is unique.
So too are your reasons for considering speaking with a psychologist. We appreciate that taking the first step towards feeling better (whatever that means for you or your child) can sometimes be the hardest, and with this in mind, we’re hopeful that our approach will put you at ease.
Whether it’s achieving a more consistent feeling of calm, or understanding and improving behaviours or thinking that you feel holds you or your kids back, we can help.
Our Approach
Our approach is based on positive psychology and working with your strengths. We’ll help you to build confidence and capability with coping and improvement strategies, in a sustainable way.
01
Child Psychology
Support for your beautiful kid
We help kids of all ages to start to identify and understand the thoughts, feelings or behaviours that challenge or upset them, and bring focus to their strengths. Key to helping kids however is also helping their parents – we hope to equip you with the skills needed to sustain success for your kids (so you don’t need us).
02
Teen Psychology
Not a kid, not yet an adult supporting rapid physical, cognitive and emotional change
Teens (and tweens) represent the highest proportion of people we currently see in our practice. We’ve supported many teens over the years to overcome apprehensions about school including transitioning to high school, friendship challenges (what good friendships look like and how to maintain them), and building self-esteem.
03
Adult Psychology
Support for a life that’s busy, varied
and not always predictable
The adults we see in our practice are facing a wide variety of life experiences that come with “adulting”! Most common are challenges with anxiety, relationships, work pressure / work life integration, stress, confidence, emotional regulation and goal setting.
