The Younger Years
North Sydney Clinic

At the Younger Years we use standardised assessments as a way to gain further understanding of a child or young person's strengths and needs. Psychometric ssessments are used to explore overall high ability (i.e. 'giftedness'), as well as specific learning needs (e.g. dyslexia or dyscalculia) or more general insight into overall development to direct further support

We offer the Cool Kids and Chilled Teens Anxiety Programs at The Younger Years as individual sessions.

Depression is more than just feeling down or sad, it is characterised by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or irritability, that significantly affect emotional well-being, behaviour, and overall functioning.

Emotional dysregulation refers to difficulties in effectively managing and regulating emotions.

Challenging, disruptive and oppositional behaviours are often part of normal development, they can be age appropriate. However, when they are excessive or persistent and impact overall functioning, it may be a good idea to seek some support and guidance.

At The Younger Years we support families across the years, that is from pregnancy right through to adulthood! Our clinicians work at promoting the emotional well-being of both babies and parents.

The Younger Years offers most of our assessment and therapy services online to children, young people and/or their families “virtually” via video or telephone, this is referred to as “Telehealth”.
