About Better You HQ Therapy and Counselling
Hi there, I'm Prue Longstaff, the lead therapist and counsellor at the Better You HQ Therapy and Counselling Clinic. I’ve seen how the right support and expert knowledge can empower children and families to overcome challenges and create meaningful change. That’s at the heart of what I do.​
The Better You HQ Difference
At Better You HQ Therapy at Counselling Clinic, we guide children, adolescents, and families through life’s challenges, helping them build the skills and resilience to thrive. I’m a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) with a Bachelor of Counselling and Diploma of Counselling.
​
What distinguishes my approach is the integration of evidence-based techniques with a thorough understanding of neurobiology. Recognising how brain function influences emotions, behaviour, and mental health enables me to provide effective, tailored interventions. This is particularly beneficial for clients dealing with anxiety, trauma, or neurodivergence, ensuring that care is both compassionate and grounded in an understanding of each individual’s needs.
​
With 20 years of experience working with children and families, I understand that each journey is unique. Whether it’s helping a child manage anxiety, supporting a teenager with emotional regulation, or working with a family navigating the complexities of neurodiversity or social skills, I focus on providing a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their emotions and grow at their own pace.​
