Child and Adolescent
Individual Services

At Calm Speak Space we have specialist clinicians who are trained to assist young people of all ages regarding their mental health. We use a developmental model to make sure that supports are age appropriate and that strategies are accessible to the young people. 

​

For young people under the age of 12, we may use a family-based model and have parents also attend part or all of the session with the young person. This is because when children are young their brains are not yet fully formed, so they may need your help after the session to remind them what was discussed and in actioning the strategies. They also may have absorbed adult problems, as young people often do, and this could be a factor impacting the Childs mental health. Therefore parents may need to play a role in problem solving and supporting situations which the young person should not be managing by themselves. 

​

For adolescents over the age of 13 family involvement may not be required. This is because at this age the young person is starting to develop independence and it is important that their privacy is considered in treatment. It may be more damaging to their mental health to have their parent be aware of what is discussed in therapy. Instead Focused Psychological Strategies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, Mindfulness, etc, will be used with the individual to therapeutically support their mental health.

​

Young people under the age of 15 will require parent/carer consent to access services. 

​

All Clinicians must legally uphold the principals of Duty of Care. Therefore if the clinicians believes the young person is at risk of hurting themselves or someone else, then parents/cares may be contacted in the interest of protecting the young persons safety and wellbeing.

​

All sessions will be facilitated via Telehealth and prior to you booking you will be sent a link Via PowerDiary to access the session. If you have any challenges accessing you session please email info@calmspeakspace.com.au.
