We provide compassionate, evidence-based therapeutic support for children, young people, and their families navigating a wide range of challenges, including:
As a neuro-affirming practice, we specialise in supporting neurodivergent children, young adults, and their caregivers. Our approach is grounded in respect, acceptance, and individual strengths.
Every child and family is unique, which is why we offer tailored therapy, education, and advocacy designed to meet your specific needs and goals.
Play therapy supports children’s mental health through the natural language of play. It helps them express feelings, build skills, and process experiences in a way that feels safe and familiar.
At NCPT we generally use a non-directive approach, letting children lead at their own pace. When needed, we include directive techniques to support specific goals. This flexible method is grounded in child development research and tailored to each child’s needs.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps people process and heal from difficult or traumatic experiences.
It uses back-and-forth movements—like eye movements or tapping—to support the brain’s natural healing process. EMDR can reduce distress, change how memories are stored, and help people feel more in control of their emotions.
Our office includes therapy spaces designed for older children, teenagers, and adults. Teenage clients still have access to engaging resources and activities to help them feel at ease and build a strong, comfortable connection with their therapist.
Do you feel comfortable here? Or would you like to see if you can arrange your own therapy to line up with your child’s? No problem, just ask which of our therapists also work with adult clients.
Not sure what support your child or teen needs? These one-off sessions offer a chance to talk things through, get practical tips you can use right away, and guidance on next steps—like school support or referrals to other services.
The Circle of Security – Parenting is a framework that helps strengthen the caregiver-child bond by balancing safety with exploration. It guides caregivers in meeting their child’s emotional needs, fostering secure attachments and healthy growth.
We also offer the Circle of Security – Classrooms, designed to help teachers support young children’s emotional well-being in the classroom.
Our fees can vary based on therapist and appointment type.
Generally, you can expect to pay $150 to $200 for a 1-hour appointment block.
We accept Self and Plan Managed NDIS funding.
