Real support for real families

Family First Psychology was founded on a simple idea: care should be practical, evidence-based, and built around real life. We bring therapy and psychological assessment together under one roof for children, adolescents and adults, working with you individually and, where beneficial, with your family too.

We look at the whole picture, not just the person in the chair

CBT

Cognitive behavioural therapy

ACT

Acceptance & commitment therapy

Mindfulness

Mindfulness-based strategies

Attachment

Attachment-based therapy

Every plan we write starts with the same question: what will actually work for this person, in their home, school or workplace? We draw on evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, attachment-informed therapy and EMDR-informed practice for trauma, and translate them into strategies you can use straight away, not just insight for its own sake.

In most instances, members of the Family First Psychology team will work collaboratively with your family doctor, paediatrician or psychiatrist, and, where relevant, staff from your child's school.

The people you'll actually be talking to

Family First Psychology is growing. As new therapists join the team, their profiles will appear here, each bringing their own areas of expertise, working to the same evidence-based approach.
