📍 Australia-Wide, From Wherever You Are

 

All appointments are offered via telehealth, using a secure video platform. Whether you're in Sydney, rural Victoria, Perth, or anywhere in between, your family can access high-quality psychological support from the comfort of home.

We work with:

• Children aged 5+

• Adolescents & young adults

• Parents & caregivers

💬 Common Reasons Families Reach Out

​​

• “My child is extremely anxious about food or mealtimes.”

• “We’ve tried lots of strategies for fussy eating—nothing works.”

• “My teen has anxiety or struggles with body image.”

• “We’re unsure if it's ARFID, ASD, or something else.”

• “We want help that looks at both emotional and nutritional needs.”
