I took my 6-year-old to see Gaye at the Early Education Program Building in Brighton East, and her child behaviour assessment was incredibly insightful. She explained things clearly and gave us practical steps for home. We’ve already started using her strategies and I’m noticing a calmer afternoon routine.
As a parent juggling work and two kids, I felt overwhelmed. Gaye offered friendly guidance and stress management techniques that actually fit into our busy days. The half-hour sessions feel focused and supportive, and I walk out feeling equipped.
Gaye is an amazing psychologist who really listens. We’ve done a few sessions on parenting advice and I’ve learned to approach challenges with calmer language. Highly recommend for families around Brighton and Bayside suburbs.
