Service philosophy
At Goldfish Counselling, we believe that every individual and family we serve is unique, deserving of respect, understanding, and unwavering support. Our philosophy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a profound commitment to nurturing the well-being of neurodivergent children, adults, and families.
Our Services
We offer a range of counselling services for neurodivergent individuals, children, parents and families, and all our services are tailored to meet our client's individual goals and support needs.
Early Childhood Counselling
Individual Counselling
Parent Counselling & Coaching
For neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, etc) and developmentally delayed children.
Our holistic approach nurtures both children and their families, across environments. Utilising child led, play-based practices we create a supportive environment for exploration and development.
Our sessions are tailored to suit the individual needs and goals of each child/family and can blend clinic, home, daycare/preschool visits, as well as telehealth sessions.
​
Tailored one-on-one sessions designed to address the specific needs and challenges of neurodivergent individuals, including those who self-identify, or anyone struggling in their daily life. Our approach is person-centred, strengths based and neuro-affirming.

​
​
Drawing primarily from Dr. Ross Greene's CPS (Collaborative & Proactive Solutions) model, and informed by personal experience, we offer practical guidance and support for parents of neurodivergent children, and those facing general challenges in parenting.
Offering strategies to navigate challenges in behaviour and daily living, enhance relationships, and promote positive development within the family dynamic.
