Carpentaria provides Psychology services for children, adolescents and adults. Counselling can support people with disability, and their family members, to navigate life’s challenges and improve their mental health and wellbeing.
How does Psychology support young people aged 0-18?
Carpentaria’s Psychologists can help a child to think through challenges, manage difficult emotions and develop helpful thinking strategies.
Psychologists also provide support with:
- Problem solving and developing coping mechanisms
- Understanding reactions that may be unhelpful
- Developing flexible and helpful responses to life’s challenges
- Helping parents to develop helpful responses when they are struggling with their child’s tricky behaviours
- Reducing the influence of difficult thoughts and feelings that can often get in the way of living a fuller life
- Helping teenagers make sense of the challenges of adolescence and developing skills that help them progress through this period safely

"The most important aspect of the work I do is making sure that my participants and their families feel heard and supported. I hold a safe place for people to be, without judgement."
"I really value being part of a multi-disciplinary team as we can provide better support to our participants by working closely together on their goals."
