Counselling for Children
Parents generally come to see me concerned about their children’s behaviour, often worried that they’re not keeping up at school, or have signs of ADD, ADHD, dyslexia or other sensory processing difficulties.
Holistic Counselling can address the underlying cause of your child’s struggle, building the foundations for lifelong learning.
Concerns we can help with include:
- Anxiety, depression
- ADD, ADHD
- Dyslexia
- Learning and Behavioural Challenges
- Friendships
- Bullying
- Mood swings
Whatever the issue, healing always starts with offering you and your child a non-judgemental place of safety and acceptance, where we can build connection as a foundation for healing.
Depending on your child’s individual needs, sessions may include:
- Counselling
- Developmental Exercises
- Play Therapy
- Art Therapy
- Craft, painting, games, play, just having fun and feeling safe in relationships…
Self or plan-managed NDIS participants and Victims Services clients are welcome. All sessions are held in person at Moruya South Head.
Support for Parents
Parenting can be stressful, and it’s not always easy to know how to respond when you see your child struggling.
Areas we can help with include:
- Couples Counselling
- Individual Counselling
- Starting school and school readiness
- Family Transitions
Circle of Security Parenting Program
- Understand the meaning behind those tantrums and meltdowns
- Build a closer connection with your children
- Learn alternatives to time-outs, “consequences”, withdrawal of privilege and other punishment-based strategies

Hello, I'm Rosalind
PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor
Since 2005 I have been helping children with learning and behavioural challenges such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD and other sensory processing difficulties.
I use an holistic, or whole child approach incorporating a development movement program, known as The Extra Lesson. This program addresses underlying immaturities in early development that are contributing to their learning and behavioural challenges.
This is done in a safe space where children can feel seen, heard and understood, and are free to talk about whatever is worrying them.
Sessions often include play, songs, movement, games, craft and therapeutic painting to support diverse aspects of your child’s development.
In this way we are working together to create lasting change, helping children to realise their potential for living a successful and meaningful life.
Sessions are available online and in person at Moruya South Head.
