Hello there...
We are South Australian Psychology Professionals here to support young people in flourishing.
We offer Coaching Psychology designed for and with tweens, teens (and their families),
taking you through guided discovery, where you can be seen and heard.
We team up with you to identify the focus
areas for your unique young person and family
Neurodiversity Screening
Noticing differences in a young person’s thinking, learning, or behaviour?
We offer a first step in exploring neurodivergent traits and learning profiles, helping families better understand possible
next steps.
Healthy
Choices
Young people naturally push boundaries as part of figuring out who they are. From friendships and sleep routines to technology use, we focus on understanding everyday choices and how they impact wellbeing.
Mood &
Motivation
Changes in mood, motivation, or energy are common for young people. We focus on noticing mood patterns and exploring ways to boost wellbeing and engagement.
School & Study
Stress
School and study choices. Perhaps excelling with increasing expectations and feeling the pressure, or finding it difficult to engage and loosing confidence, we focus on building healthy school strategies.
Anxiety &
Big Feelings
Many young people experience worries, stress, or big emotions. This area focuses on understanding emotional experiences, recognising patterns, and building awareness of what supports emotional wellbeing.
Emotion
Regulation
Strong emotions can sometimes come out as shutdowns, anger, or overwhelm. We support young people to recognise early signs and develop tools to respond in safer, more helpful ways.
Identity &
Self-Esteem
Adolescence is a time of figuring out who you are. We support young people to explore identity, values, and self-belief, helping them build confidence, self-compassion, and a stronger sense of belonging.
Neuro-affirming Strategies
Working with a young person’s brain, not against it. Focussing on understanding individual strengths, sensory needs, and learning preferences, and building tailored strategies for home, school and life.
School & Career Decisions
Choosing subjects, or future pathways can feel daunting. We help young people clarify strengths and values so decisions feel aligned with who they are, not just external expectations.
... or something else? We value your perspective.

Jessica Milford
Psychologist &
Practice Manager
Building on my time as a teacher in schools, I'm passionate about the impact of Psychology with young people and families. Through all of the tricky challenges at each stage of growing up, I draw on science to empower young people and families to better understand themselves and their choices. I am also a vocalist and piano player, so I enjoy bringing a creative flare to my practice, when it's wanted.

Cheryl Williams
Provisional Psychologist
Drawing on my sport, performance background, and current wellbeing based school role, I encourage strength in being vulnerable. I combine authenticity and evidence-based practice to provide a warm and non-judgemental space. I collaboratively support young people to recognise their own available strengths to navigate life's challenges.
