Generally, no. In saying that, I work with children A LOT (they're the best), so I'll take everything case by case. At this stage, the sessions provided by Do You Mind are designed for parents, because that's where the biggest shift happens, and busy bouncy kiddos don't usually love telehealth. I encourage you to start with the Fit Check form to see if we are the right fit, and if not, I can point you in the right direction. 
Fit Check

Yes! This is the wonderful thing about telehealth sessions, it's more flexible for both you and I, so appointment hours can be more flexible. 

New clients can reach me via email at hello@doyoumind.net.
Current clients usually prefer to reach me by replying to the session SMS reminder text thread. I don't have an admin team (yet...) so there is no dedicated phone line.

I'm a registered psychologist with experience working with children, adults, and families. I ventured out into private practice after spending a few years supporting families in the not-for-profit sector. My areas of interest have always aligned with family and neurodiverse support, and there has always been such limited support for parents in the psychology space. So, I'm very excited to have the opportunity to create Do You Mind and support parents more directly. 
About

Each session is tailored to you and your family's needs. They might include:

• Guidance on managing challenging behaviours

• Support for navigating diagnoses or developmental concerns

• Tools for improving communication and connection within the family

• Psychoeducation around neurodivergence, trauma, or emotional regulation

About

No diagnosis needed. We support all parents, regardless of whether their child is diagnosed or undiagnosed. 
Referral guide

I'll help you decide. The truth is, I might not be the right fit for you, which is why the first step in our intake process is completing a Fit Check form. I'll review your answers, and if it looks like I might be a good fit for you, I'll organise a free 15-minute orientation call. If I'm not the right service, I'll send you some other referral options.

Parenting sessions are therapeutic consultations designed to support caregivers in understanding and responding to their child’s emotional, behavioural, or developmental needs. Our sessions will focus on building parenting insight, strengthening family relationships, and developing practical strategies tailored to your child’s unique profile.
About

Not quite. While both approaches support the whole family system, our sessions focus specifically on equipping parents with tools to support their child. Think of it less like everyone sitting in a room sharing feelings, and more like a practical, emotionally attuned coaching space for parents.
About

Shutdowns, meltdowns, and sensory overload. Persistent Drive for Autonomy (PDA) and low demand parenting skills. Parent burnout, stress, guilt, and decision fatigue. Attachment disruption and relational repair. The invisible labor of advocacy, appointments, and "being the expert" on your child. Just to name a few.  
About

Yes! Parents can get their own Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) if the sessions are intended to support their own mental health and wellbeing. This includes psychological support for issues like parenting stress, burnout, anxiety, or grief related to their caregiving role. Parents may also be eligible for a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan if parenting stress, burnout, or emotional dysregulation are part of the parent’s chronic condition. Eligibility is determined by your GP who will assess the need and appropriateness. 
Referral guide

Yes! Parents and carers can use their child’s Improved Daily Living funding under NDIS Capacity Building to attend parenting sessions, as long as those sessions directly support the child’s functional, emotional, or developmental goals. It's always best to check with your plan provider though.

Nope. Our services are focused on therapeutic support for families, not legal documentation or court involvement.
