Knowing when your child needs therapy can be difficult, however there are some indicators that it might be time to consider some extra support, such as:
Tracey works with children with anxiety, depression, attachment difficulties/disorders, attention disorders and more. Often she is able to provide clarity around diagnoses and refer you to additional allied health professionals to provide holistic care for your child.
- There has been significant changes, stressors or trauma in your child's life
- You've noticed behavioural change, emotional outbursts and mood swings or social withdrawal
- Your child is having trouble managing transitions/activities that other children their age are coping with
- Your child is no longer enjoying activities they used to, or feels unable to join activities that you know they like
- You've tried (what feels like) everything and nothing is changing
- Other people in your child's life, such as teachers or friends, have suggested they might benefit from counselling
