Children & Adolescents

Our child and adolescent mental health services are designed to support the unique needs of young people as they navigate the challenges of childhood and adolescence. We provide:

Comprehensive Assessments

We understand that children and adolescents express themselves differently than adults. Our comprehensive assessments consider developmental stages, family dynamics, and individual strengths and challenges. We utilise age-appropriate assessment tools, including play-based assessments, behavioural observations, parent and teacher interviews, and standardised psychological tests, to gain a holistic understanding of your child's or teen's needs. We collaborate closely with parents/guardians to gather information and ensure a collaborative approach to care.

Therapy Tailored to Young People

We offer a range of therapy options designed to meet the unique developmental and emotional needs of children and adolescents.

    • Child Therapy: Our child therapy sessions utilise play therapy, art therapy, and other creative modalities to help children express their emotions, develop coping skills, and address behavioural challenges. We create a safe and playful environment where children feel comfortable exploring their feelings and experiences.
    • Adolescent Therapy: Our adolescent therapy sessions provide a confidential space for teens to discuss their concerns, navigate the challenges of adolescence, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. We address issues such as identity development, peer relationships, academic stress, and emotional regulation.
    • Family Therapy: Our family therapy sessions focus on improving family communication, strengthening relationships, and resolving conflicts. We work with families to create a more supportive and harmonious home environment. Parent/guardian involvement is often a key component of our work with children and adolescents.


Expert Medication Management

Our consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist provides expert care and close monitoring to ensure the safe and effective use of medication, when appropriate. We understand the concerns parents have regarding medication for their children and teens, and we prioritise open communication and shared decision-making. We carefully consider the risks and benefits of medication and work with families to develop a treatment plan that aligns with their values and goals.


At Nafs Health, we are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers children and adolescents to thrive. We believe in a collaborative approach, working closely with families to ensure the best possible outcomes for their children.
