Booked in for CBT and parenting skills training for my 6-year-old. Barb explained things in plain language and gave us practical steps we could use at home. We’ve started noticing calmer mornings and better cooperation with routines. Highly recommend if you’re in Wickham.
After a string of meltdowns, Barb helped us with behavior management strategies that actually work. The sessions at Unit 4B on Hannell Street feel really easy to fit into a busy week, and I’ve seen real changes at school and home.
Barb did a great job with social skills training for my son. He’s more confident interacting with peers, and we’ve got handy tips to guide him through tricky social situations. Grateful to have found such practical support in Wickham.
We sought help for some behaviour challenges and Barb’s techniques feel doable and gentle. The cognitive behavioural approach helped us understand triggers, and we’ve started seeing less frequent outbursts at home.
As a first-time parent, I was overwhelmed. Barb’s parenting skills training gave me confidence and a clear plan. It’s made family life calmer and more predictable, which I never imagined possible.
We were impressed by Barb’s practical approach to CBT and the way she layered in social skills activities for my daughter. Being in Wickham, it’s nice to have such a local psychologist offering real, actionable strategies.
If you need someone who can translate psychology into everyday tactics, Barb is your person. The sessions covering behavior management and parenting skills have made a big difference in our household routine.
