“Children and adolescents are not just small adults any more than a sprout is a small tree” – Dr. Steven C. Hayes.

We understand that children and adolescents have very different needs from adults; for psychological intervention to be most effective, young people often need to have an experience that is different from a “typical” adult psychology appointment. Our additional skills in understanding the developmental needs of children and adolescents are used to personalise the psychological assessment and treatment plan for each client. We include creative and engaging tasks in many of our sessions, meaning our clients are more likely to practice and master the new skills we teach them..

Our psychologists have had specific training and experience working with children from as young as two years of age up to 18. However, many of our clients continue to receive services from us after they turn 18.

At Asciak and Associates, we are incredibly passionate about working with young people, and we feel privileged to be invited into our clients’ lives. We believe that YOU are the expert on your child, and we enjoy working collaboratively with parents and caregivers. We also endeavour to work with the teachers and other professionals involved in your child’s life so that they can meet their unique potential.
