Child Psychologist for children aged 5-10

Navigating developmental challenges of children aged 5-10 can sometimes require tailored support and understanding. At Little Minds Psychology, I’m committed to providing comprehensive services to assist parents in addressing a range of common concerns during this crucial stage of childhood development. My approach combines my expertise as a child psychologist with an appreciation for the complex nature of family dynamics, ensuring holistic support for both children and parents.

I believe in taking a holistic approach to child psychology, recognising the connection between a child's emotional, cognitive, and social development. By working closely with parents and caregivers, I strive to create a nurturing environment that promotes resilience and wellbeing in children. My goal is to empower parents with the knowledge and tools they need to support their child's growth and navigate challenges effectively.

My child psychologist services for children aged 5-10 can cover a variety of common concerns, including:

Meltdowns and emotional dysregulation: I provide support and guidance to help children manage meltdowns and regulate their emotions effectively, empowering both children, parents and school staff to cope with challenging situations.
Separation anxiety: Separation anxiety can be a common issue for children and their parents. I can offer practical strategies and emotional support to help children feel more secure during separations, encouraging resilience and coping skills.
Behavioural concerns: Whether it's challenges at home or in school settings, I’m here to help provide a better understanding of the function of this behaviour and develop effective strategies to manage this behaviour and promote positive social interactions.
ASD/ADHD concerns: Whether of not your child has received a diagnosis of autism or ADHD, if you have concerns about your child's attention or behaviour, I can offer support for ASD/ADHD related struggles. I work collaboratively with families to develop strategies to manage struggles and support the child's success at home, school, and in social settings.
Sleep struggles: Addressing sleep issues is important for a child's overall well-being. I can help offer strategies and support to establish healthy bedtime routines and address any sleep-related concerns affecting your child's rest.
Relationship issues: Building and maintaining healthy relationships is essential for a child's development. My specialised interventions focus on strengthening the parent-child bond and resolving any issues affecting family relationships, promoting a supportive and nurturing environment.
Anger management struggles: My comprehensive approach equips parents and children with effective techniques to understand and manage anger, promoting emotional regulation and healthy expression of feelings in various situations.
Anxiety: I can provide practical support for children dealing with anxiety, offering coping mechanisms and relaxation techniques to alleviate symptoms, build resilience, and foster a sense of calmness in daily life.
