Create the family life you have always wanted
Child and Family Counselling
Parents generally come to see me concerned about their children’s behaviour. Others are worried that they’re not keeping up at school, or have signs of ADHD, dyslexia or other sensory processing difficulties.
Holistic Counselling can help to address the underlying cause of your child’s struggle, building the foundations for lifelong learning.
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.
Counselling for Children
Counselling is a special time for your child to feel seen, heard and understood as we work through issues that are worrying them.
Concerns we can help with include:
- anxiety, depression
- ADHD, autism
- dyslexia, classroom learning
- friendships, bullying
- mood swings
Counselling 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:
- ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression
- Dyslexia and other learning difficulties
- Tantrums, meltdowns and mood swings
- Developmental delay and other sensory processing difficulties
- Couples counselling and family relationships
- Starting school and school readiness
- Transitions and blending families
Circle of Security Parenting Program
- Understand the meaning behind those tantrums and meltdowns

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.
