About Active Psychology

Welcome to Active Psychology, assessment and counselling services for children, adolescents, young adults and their families. Active Psychology is a dedicated private practice that focuses on helping improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people and their families.

At Active Psychology, we believe that the developmental stages of a young person play a critical part of an individual’s future happiness and fulfilment. As part of our services, we aim to reduce the mental health problems amongst young people and provide support for their families to help achieve their full potential.

At Active Psychology, we provide a safe and nurturing environment for young people to discover their abilities and determine their place in society. We work closely with key members in the young person’s life, such as their family, educational setting, community groups, and other health professionals to cooperatively achieve the desired goals.

Active Psychology uses a risk and resistance framework to assess and then implement an effective intervention plan that focuses on increasing the protective factors and reducing the risk factors to achieve the set health goals. The services we provide are based on the latest research on how to strengthen children’s social-emotional development and enhance their education experience.

At Active Psychology, we firmly believe that young people are the most precious asset we have in our community and we are committed to enhancing their wellbeing and future life path. Thank you for visiting our website and we hope to be of assistance to you in the near future!
