Child & Adolescent Psychiatry in Auckland
Children and adolescents can experience emotional and mental health challenges that affect their wellbeing, behaviour, learning, and relationships. Our clinic provides specialised child and adolescent psychiatric care, offering compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to each stage of development – from early childhood through to late adolescence.
We work closely with young people and their families to understand challenges in context and provide thorough assessment, guidance, and ongoing care.
Conditions We Support
We support children and adolescents experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and developmental difficulties, including:
Emotional dysregulation and difficulty managing emotions
Depression and low mood
Anxiety and excessive worry
Behavioural issues and behavioural challenges
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism spectrum-related challenges
Sleep disturbances and ongoing sleep difficulties
School avoidance and school refusal
Obsessive compulsive thoughts and behaviours
Stress related to family changes, academic pressure, or life transitions
Each child’s experience is unique, and care is always adapted to their individual needs and circumstances.
Individualised, Child-Centred Care
Our approach is child-centred and developmentally informed. We take the time to understand each child’s emotional world, strengths, and challenges, while actively involving families in the care process.
Support is tailored to the child’s age, developmental stage, and specific concerns, with a focus on practical strategies that can be applied at home and at school.
Trauma-Informed and Evidence-Based Support
For children and adolescents affected by trauma, overwhelming stress, or difficult life experiences, we offer trauma-informed, evidence-based therapeutic approaches designed to help young people safely process and manage their experiences.
Care is delivered in a supportive, structured, and age-appropriate manner, ensuring children feel safe and respected throughout the process.
A Multidisciplinary, Holistic Approach
We work within a multidisciplinary model, collaborating with other health professionals when appropriate to support the child’s overall wellbeing. This holistic approach recognises the close connection between emotional, physical, and developmental health.
By coordinating care across disciplines, we aim to provide comprehensive and effective support that helps young people thrive.
