Specialised Support for Your Child’s Emotional and Social Development
At Better You HQ Therapy and Counselling Clinic, we specialise in NDIS counselling and therapeutic support for children, families, and neurodivergent individuals. We know that raising a child with emotional, social, or behavioral challenges can feel overwhelming.
Whether your child struggles with emotional regulation, anxiety, social skills, or adjusting to change, we are here to guide them—and you—towards practical solutions and lasting growth.
Experts in Child Development, Neurodiversity and Family Wellbeing
Unlike general therapists, we have extensive experience working specifically with children, families, and individuals with disabilities and neurodivergence. With a deep understanding of child development, education, and the unique needs of autistic children and those with additional support requirements, we recognise that every child’s journey is different. Our approach is person-centred and strengths-based, developmentally appropriate, and tailored to support emotional growth, social skills, and overall wellbeing.
​
🔹 Child-Friendly and Engaging Approach – Our sessions aren’t just talk therapy; we use play-based techniques, interactive tools, and engaging activities to make counselling a positive and productive experience for kids.
🔹 Expertise in Neurodivergence and Emotional Development – We work with autistic children, those with ADHD, and children experiencing anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and behavioral challenges. Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based, and developmentally appropriate.
🔹 Supporting the Whole Family – We don’t just work with children; we equip parents with knowledge, strategies, and tools to support their child at home. Whether it’s reducing meltdowns, improving family communication, or fostering independence, we provide guidance that makes everyday life easier.
How We Support Your Child Through Their Biggest Challenges
​✅ Understanding and Managing Big Emotions – We teach children how to regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and build resilience so they feel more confident in everyday life.
✅ Improving Social Skills and Friendships – Whether your child struggles with peer relationships, communication, or social confidence, we help them build the skills they need to connect with others and thrive in group settings.
✅ Reducing Family Stress and Conflict – Parenting a child with emotional or social challenges can be frustrating and exhausting. We work with families to reduce stress, improve relationships, and create a more peaceful home environment.
✅ Making NDIS Support Simple and Clear – Navigating the NDIS can feel confusing. We help parents understand their options and tailor services to their child's unique needs and goals.
