Building Blocks Psychology is a neuroaffirming and gender affirming psychology practice in the Sutherland Shire that assists children, adolescents, young adults and their families across a range of areas they are wanting support in. At Building Blocks Psychology, we believe in fostering a compassionate and inclusive environment to help individuals grow and thrive. We understand that no two people are the same. Drawing on extensive experience, we use a range of science-based therapies and assessment tools to meet individual needs and values. We offer a range of services, including psychological assessments, therapy, and supports for families.

Therapy supports:

At Building Blocks Psychology, we provide support for young people aged 2 - 25 and their families across the following areas:

• Anxiety including generalised worries, separation anxiety, social anxiety, specific phobias and panic
• Low mood or depression
• Low self-confidence / self-esteem
• Perfectionism
• Emotion regulation
• Autism support
• Attention and concentration difficulties
• Study stress / procrastination and so much more.

We also provide parenting supports, and run the CCCK parenting group.

Assessments:

Psychometric assessments can provide important information about a child or young person's strengths and weaknesses. They may provide identification through a diagnosis if one applies. Assessments can also inform appropriate strategies to support the child and facilitate appropriate educational or additional supports (such as NDIS). Some reasons people may seek assessment include:

• Learning differences or delays
• Underachievement in particular areas
• Giftedness
• Emotional or behavioural difficulties in the classroom or at home
• Difficulties making or maintaining friendships
• Difficulties adapting to changes in routine
• Trouble concentrating or easily distracted

Both therapy and assessment books are open currently, with minimal wait times.
