At Positively Psychology, children and teenagers find support for the things they are finding difficult - emotionally, socially or academically. Children and their parents work alongside a psychologist to make sense of what is going on and develop solution-focused, practical strategies that help young people feel more confident, settled and ready to learn

Positively Psychology

You might be in the right place if your child is…

  • Feeling anxious, overwhelmed or worried

  • Struggling at school, despite tuition and support

  • Finding friendships or behaviour difficult

  • Losing confidence or enjoyment in learning

  • Needing an educational assessment

Services

  • Consultations for school-age children and teenagers are held at the Positively Psychology office in Greenlane, Auckland. Prior to meeting with your child, an appointment is made with you as parents to discuss your child’s situation and to decide on the most effective and practical way forward. During sessions, younger children are often most comfortable when accompanied by a parent, who can then support them at home as they practise new strategies. A final parent session is arranged at the conclusion of your child’s sessions to discuss progress and plan ongoing support.

    $253.00 per session

  • Parenting Consultations - Short format
