Elevating Children's Mental Health at Integrated Wellness

Children think, feel, and respond to the world very differently from adults. That’s why therapy for children requires a specialised approach, tailored techniques, and a psychologist with dedicated training and experience in child development.

At Integrated Wellness Clinic, our child psychologists use evidence-based strategies to help children build essential life skills such as emotional regulation, resilience, confidence, relaxation, and healthy relationships.


How We Work With Children

Young children and even teenagers often respond better to expressive therapies rather than traditional “talk therapy.” These creative, play-based approaches help children explore feelings and experiences in a safe and comfortable way. Some examples include:

  • Puppet role-play to act out situations and emotions

  • Sand play with figurines to process experiences

  • Arts and crafts for self-expression

  • Feelings cards and music to build emotional awareness

  • Writing and drawing to express thoughts that are hard to say out loud


When to See a Child Psychologist in our Paddington Clinic

Our Brisbane child psychologists can help when your child is experiencing challenges such as:

  • Recovery from physical or emotional abuse or a traumatic event

  • Attention and learning difficulties (e.g., ADD, ADHD) – suspected or seeking assessment

  • Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) – suspected or seeking assessment

  • Excessive shyness or social withdrawal

  • Being bullied or bullying others

  • Aggressive behaviour or frequent tantrums without clear reason

  • Adjusting to family changes (e.g., custody arrangements, separation)

  • Grief and loss

  • Delayed speech or language concerns

  • Bedwetting, nightmares, or other sleep disturbances

  • Loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy

  • Unexplained mood swings, sadness, anxiety, fears, or phobias


Why Early Support Matters

Addressing emotional, behavioural, or developmental concerns early can help prevent challenges from becoming more serious in adolescence or adulthood. Our child psychologists work in partnership with parents, caregivers, and schools to ensure your child has the right support network.
