We love supporting kids, teens and carers alike

CHILD & ADOLESCENT THERAPY

Childhood is in many ways the most important period of a person’s life, and as parents and carers, we play a key role in supporting the kids in our world to thrive.

At Life Matters, our child psychologists are passionate about using early intervention, emotional regulation and other tested strategies to help carers navigate their children's challenges.

Toddlers, teens and everyone in between

We have a wealth of experience working with young people of all ages. With little ones, we use props and play to make therapy fun and accessible, while adolescents often see one of our younger, more relatable therapists.

Whatever your needs, we’re here to work with you.
