We are a multidisciplinary practice offering child, adolescent, and adult psychology services and speech therapy for children.Our Psychologists use a number of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Behavioural Therapy, Play Therapy, Family of Origin Work and Psychodynamic Therapy. Our approaches are customised to suit the individual or family and their presenting issues.Our Speech Pathologists work with children of all ages in the areas of speech, language and literacy. We use a variety of therapy approaches, including Hanen 'It Takes Two to Talk', THRASS (an evidence-based program to support reading and spelling), and Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) strategies. We work together with families to ensure your goals are met.Using the Sequential – Oral – Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding, we can tackle food aversions, feeding difficulties, restricted food intakes and help children and adolescents who struggle to eat particular food groups (e.g. meat, fruits, vegetables). We can also help children who are tube fed. This is a holistic therapeutic approach, which assesses the various relationships between food and the senses, oral-motor skills, food education, nutrition, and learning. The SOS approach is a play based approach that encourages a desensitisation between your child and the challenging food, building step by step. Our therapy gradually moves from tolerating the food in their presence, to looking, touching, licking, and then to tasting and eventually eating. For older children and adolescents, we use an alternative approach, called 'Food Scientist'.At Click Therapy, we can also help your child improve their social skills. Our team of Speech Pathologists and Psychologists are here to help your child develop their confidence, self esteem, language and play skills to enhance their ability to make and keep friends.
