Geelong child psychologist builds stronger relationships

As children grow, it’s a time of intense change for both the individual, their family and their friends.

The rewarding journey is flavoured with achievement and joy. But it can also come with pressure, challenges and expectations that can leave kids struggling to cope in today’s busy world. And sometimes a professional perspective can make all the difference – for youth and parents alike.

As a Geelong child psychologist with over 30 years’ experience, I can help you and your child navigate through childhood into adolescence and adulthood. Whether it’s through individual sessions or family sessions, where family members come together, working through issues with an experienced and qualified psychologist is a great step on that path to a more positive life.

I can help children better understand themselves and the issues they face, then provide them with strategies and tools so they can steer a more successful path through the coming months and years. And for parents, I offer valuable strategies to help them support their children across many issues including: sexuality and transgender identity; marriages, divorces and step-families; bullying; relationships; grief and loss; and anxiety.

Seeing a Geelong child psychologist is not a sign of failure, for the parent or the child. Instead, it’s a powerful step forward and the start of a journey to a happier, healthier life of greater communication within the family, stronger relationships and less conflict.

As a parent, you want the very best for your child. You don’t want to see them suffer or struggle. You want to help. But it’s not always easy to know the right approach to take when facing complex issues arising from school, peer groups and family tensions. That’s where I can assist, offering a caring, objective perspective that’s backed by nearly three decades of professional experience.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you think you or your child could benefit from talking to a Geelong child psychologist. I would love to help.
