Child Psychology - A Guide For Parents

Are you wondering whether your child could benefit from the support of a children’s psychologist? At Tonic Psychology we’re strong advocates for affordable mental health care for all – including the youngest amongst us.

Children’s Psychology FAQ

What Can A Child Psychologist Help With?

Our Tonic Psychology team of child psychologists know that there’s many reasons families may reach out and seek support. Children’s therapists specialise in understanding growth and development and can help support your family though difficult behavioural problems, emotional regulation concerns, and family conflicts.

Many families also choose to visit a psychologist because they feel their child or teenager could benefit from chatting to someone outside the family – sometimes, young people may feel more comfortable talking to a professional about difficult issues.

How Do I Know If My Child Should See A Psychologist?

If your child is experiencing issues at home or at school that impact on their ability to learn, create relationships, or engage with family members, the support of a psychologist can help address any underlying issues and concerns.

If you notice sudden or gradual changes in your child’s behaviour, such as difficulty sleeping, eating, or reluctance to go to school, this is another sign that the support of a psychologist might benefit your family.

Additionally, many parents seek the support of a family psychologist during difficult life events, such as the loss of family member, separation, or divorce. Children may have trouble processing these situations and chatting to a therapist can help them understand and heal.

What Does A Children’s Psychologist Do?

Depending on the age of the child, appointments with a Tonic Psychology child psychologist will involve a combination of structured play, observation, and conversation.

Additionally, we know that family members are an integral part of the process, so we may also arrange meetings with you to discuss your child’s needs. We’ll support you as you continue to work with your child at home.

How Can I Book In With A Child Psychologist Near Me?

At Tonic Psychology, we offer confidential, compassionate counselling and psychology for young people and their families. If you’d like to make an appointment with our friendly team, please contact us here. You can also call our friendly psychology team or browse our website for more information.
