What We Help With

Psychology Support That Meets Your Child Where They Are

Our psychologists work with children and teens experiencing:

Anxiety & Worry

We help children understand their anxious thoughts and develop practical tools to feel calmer and more confident in everyday situations.

Emotional Regulation

Children learn how to recognise, understand and respond to their emotions so they feel more in control at home, school and socially.

Social & Friendship Difficulties

We support kids who find it hard to make friends, read social cues or navigate peer relationships with confidence.

Low Mood & Depression

Our psychologists provide a safe space for young people to express their feelings and learn strategies to lift their mood and reconnect with the things they enjoy.

Behavioural Challenges

We explore the “why” behind challenging behaviours and support your child with skills to manage emotions, frustration and big feelings more effectively.

Self-Esteem & Confidence

Our therapy helps children build a stronger sense of themselves, supporting resilience and a positive inner voice.

You’re Not Alone

Parenting Isn't Meant to be Done Alone

Every parent faces moments where they’re not sure how to help. The worries before school, the sudden meltdowns, the changes in mood or behaviour - they can leave you feeling unsure, stretched and concerned.

At True North Therapy Hub, we sit beside you in those moments and help you understand what’s going on for your child. You’re not doing this alone.

  • Warm, supportive psychologists who specialise in children and teens

  • A calm, welcoming space for honest conversations

  • Guidance that supports the whole family

Our Approach

How We Work

A woman and a young girl playing a tabletop game with toy animals and figurines in a cozy living room with a bookshelf and houseplants.

We use evidence-based approaches delivered in a warm, down-to-earth way. Each session is tailored to the person in front of us - their age, personality, strengths and goals.

Our focus is always on practical strategies that can be used at home, at school, at work and in everyday life.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): understanding the link between thoughts, feelings and actions, and building healthier patterns.

  • Play-based therapy: for younger children who express themselves best through play, stories and creativity.

  • Solution-focused and strengths-based methods: highlighting what’s already working and building on existing strength

Collaborative Care

Working Together for Long-Term Change

A young boy and a female child psychologist engage in play therapy in an office. The boy holds a small toy, and they sit in comfortable chairs with a sand tray between them. The room has a bookshelf with colorful books and toys, and a door with a sign reading 'Dr.. Amina Khan Child Psychologist'.

Lasting change happens when everyone around a person is on the same page. Where appropriate and with consent, we work closely with the important people and services in our clients’ lives.

  • Partnering with parents and caregivers to support progress between sessions

  • Liaising with schools and educators (with permission) for consistent support

  • Collaborating with GPs, paediatricians and other allied health providers

  • Working within the NDIS framework for self-managed and plan-managed participants
