Q: What if my child is nervous about seeing a Psychologist?

It is normal for kids to be nervous about coming to see a Psychologist because they don’t know what to expect and may worry they are ‘bad’ or there is something ‘wrong’ with them. It may be helpful to explain that coming to see a Psychologist is like seeing a doctor for your physical health; a Psychologist can help with our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. We see lots of children for all sorts of reasons. Usually after the first visit, children will look forward to sessions and understand that they are in a safe place where they can enjoy being themselves, and talk about things they may find difficult.

Q: Do you offer telehealth?

Yes we do. We use a reliable and secure telehealth platform and set this up very easily if preferred including initial appointments. Let us know if you cannot attend the clinic and we may be able to arrange a telehealth session.

Q: How involved are parents in sessions?

Depending on the age of the child and other factors, our Cessnock Psychologists will involve parents and carers as much as possible in the sessions to ensure the best possible outcomes. It can be beneficial to be present during your child’s session as you can learn about specific strategies which will help the at home and in the community. Your child may prefer to work individually in the session which is okay and we can chat to you at the end of the session.
