Social Skills Therapy
Helping children build the skills to initiate friendships, manage emotions and navigate social situations with confidence. NDIS registered, with telehealth appointments available across Australia.
What Social Skills Therapy Involves
Social skills difficulties can show up as trouble starting or keeping friendships, finding it hard to read social cues, struggling to manage big emotions, or finding it difficult to adapt when plans or routines change.
We focus on the practical, everyday situations children face, playground interactions, group activities, taking turns in conversation, and coping when things don't go as expected, so skills transfer beyond the therapy room.
Signs your child may benefit from social skills support include difficulty making or keeping friends, frequent conflict with peers, strong reactions to changes in routine, or trouble understanding how others are feeling.
What to Expect
Sessions are interactive and often group-based where appropriate, giving children a safe space to practise real social situations. We recommend a schedule based on your child's needs, typically weekly sessions of 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Appointments are available in person or via telehealth, with the same quality of care either way.
NDIS and Telehealth
As an NDIS registered provider, social skills sessions can be funded through your child's NDIS plan. Telehealth appointments mean your child can access consistent, high quality support no matter where you're located in Australia.

Assessment
Your child's assessment may include standardized tests and/or observational assessments that are tailored to their age and specific needs.
At our clinic, we provide a comprehensive written report of all assessments for your records. Typically, assessments take between one to three hours, and we may schedule multiple one-hour appointments to complete the assessment process thoroughly.

Therapy
If your child requires therapy, we will recommend a schedule of appointments. Typically, we see most children on a weekly basis for either 30, 45, or 60 minute sessions.
For children who receive therapy at school or preschool, we have regular phone calls to update parents on their child's progress.
We also maintain ongoing communication with teachers and other healthcare professionals involved in your child's care.
Our therapy is customized to meet the individual needs of each child. We use evidence-based methods informed by experience and research. Our goal is to make therapy enjoyable for both you and your child, so that it seamlessly integrates into your daily routine.
