Child & Teen Therapy Options
Children and teenagers often face unique challenges that require age-appropriate therapy approaches. Bright Day Psychology in Hervey Bay provides child and teen therapy to support families seeking structured psychological therapy options.
Our psychologist works with young clients in one-on-one therapy sessions, using referrals and background information to guide the process. Parents or carers are typically involved in arranging therapy plans and may provide context that supports session planning. Appointments can be booked privately, through Medicare or using NDIS funding where available. Sessions are conducted in line with professional guidelines and structured according to referral requirements.

The Treatment Process
Our psychologist provides child and teen therapy treatments through individual sessions, which may focus on behavioural, learning, social or emotional therapy areas depending on referral details. Families are often involved in the therapy process, either by providing information or participating in parts of the session.
Therapy pathways may differ depending on the child’s circumstances and the referral source. Some therapy sessions are short-term, while others may be ongoing, arranged in consultation with parents or carers. Appointments follow a set therapy schedule and structure, giving predictability in how they are conducted. Families can access therapy options through private bookings, Medicare rebates or NDIS funding as listed in participant plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are child and teen psychological treatments?
Child and teen psychological treatments are structured sessions delivered by a psychologist to address developmental, behavioural, learning or emotional concerns. Treatments may involve talking, structured activities or skill-building exercises. Parents or carers often participate by providing background information or supporting the process at home.
How are psychological treatments for children different from those for adults?
Psychological treatments for children and teens are adapted to their developmental stage. Sessions may include games, drawings or interactive activities to make the process age-appropriate. A psychologist considers factors such as attention span, language skills and maturity. In contrast, adult treatments usually focus more on direct discussion and reflection without the same reliance on play-based or creative methods.
What funding options are available for child psychological treatments?
Funding for child psychological treatments can come from different sources. Families may book privately, use Medicare rebates with a referral or access sessions through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) if supports are included in a plan. WorkCover can also apply in some situations. The funding pathway determines eligibility, documentation and how appointments are scheduled.
