We work with families to address a number of complex issues they may be experiencing, including school refusal, parent/child relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma related issues, self-harm, suicidal thinking, eating disorders, neuro developmental presentations and psychosis. 

We also work collaboratively with families, schools and other agencies to create identified areas for change and work strongly from a relational and systemic framework.
