Ringwood Psychology strongly believes that clients are best served by consulting with therapists who have an area of special interest and focus their bookings on this clientele. This means that your psychologists are both passionate and knowledgeable about the issues that concern you.

Working with children and families requires skills in negotiating, managing personalities and conflict between family members, and working with challenging behaviours. It also often requires knowledge of the education system, the health system, and the Family Law system. Ringwood Psychology is passionate about the welfare of children and providing necessary support to families.

Areas of Treatment

Our psychologists treat a range of childhood and adolescent concerns, including anxiety, sadness, anger, eating disorders, bullying, school refusal, and compulsive gaming and internet use.

Our therapists have a special interest in Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD behaviours, grief and loss, and issues related to separation and divorce.

We also have clinicians trained in the treatment of childhood sexual and physical abuse, neglect, and trauma therapies.

Ringwood Psychology can provide effective parenting strategies or even simple words of advice and encouragement as parents support their children through challenging times. Sometimes, young people going through common adolescent changes benefit enormously just from being given the option of talking confidentially to someone outside of the family.

All therapy and treatments need to be individually tailored to families. This may require close collaboration with parents and siblings, other health care specialists, and educational professionals. Ringwood Psychology is constantly working with a local team of trusted experts in childhood difficulties.
