At More Than Able Therapy, our psychology services are all about supporting your child to understand their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. We know that every child’s mind is as unique as their fingerprint – that’s why our approach is tailored specifically to your little one’s needs.
What is Paediatric Psychology?
Paediatric psychology focuses on understanding and supporting children’s emotional, behavioural, and developmental needs. Our psychologists work with children and their families to navigate challenges, build on strengths, and develop strategies that work in the real world – not just in our therapy rooms.
How we help
Our Provisional psychologist provides support for a range of concerns, including:
- Anxiety and depression
- Behavioural challenges at home or school
- Emotional regulation difficulties
- Social skills development
- Trauma and grief
- Specific learning disorders
- Building resilience and self-esteem
Please note: Our team works collaboratively with our in-house HAC team to conduct Autism and ADHD assessments., as these are not currently provided by our Provisional psychologist.
Our Approach
We believe that effective psychology support should be engaging, meaningful, and even fun! Our psychologist uses play-based approaches, creative activities, and evidence-based strategies to connect with your child and help them grow.
When you work with a More Than Able psychologist, you can expect:
- A thorough assessment to truly understand your child’s unique needs
- Practical strategies that work in everyday life
- Collaborative goal-setting with you and your child
- Regular check-ins to track progress
- Clear communication and reports for other professionals (like teachers or paediatricians)
- A supportive, judgment-free space for your whole family
Funding Options
Our psychology services can be accessed through:
- NDIS funding
- Private payment options
At a reduced rate (comparable to what you might pay as an out-of-pocket gap payment when seeing a fully registered psychologist with Medicare). Please note: Services with our Provisional psychologist do not attract Medicare rebates. However, our pricing is structured to be affordable and comparable to the out-of-pocket expenses you might pay after a Medicare rebate with a fully registered psychologist. Whether you're concerned about specific behaviours, looking for support with emotional challenges, or simply want to support your child's emotional wellbeing, our psychology team is here to help your child thrive.

What is a Provisional Psychologist?
Think of a Provisional Psychologist as a psychology graduate on the last legs of their very long education marathon. These professionals have already completed years of university study and are in the final stretch of their journey to full registration. Our Provisional Psychologist comes equipped with extensive knowledge, practical skills, and fresh perspectives on supporting children's wellbeing. They've tackled countless assignments, exams, and practical placements before joining our team.
What makes their care extra special? They receive regular supervision from experienced Clinical and General Psychologists who guide their practice and share wisdom gained from years in the field. This means your child benefits from both innovative approaches and time-tested strategies (think two psychologists for the price of 1!). The pathway to becoming a fully registered psychologist is no walk in the park—it's a rigorous process ensuring that even at the provisional stage, your child is in capable, well-trained hands committed to helping them thrive.
As for the practical stuff—sessions with our Provisional Psychologist are eligible for NDIS funding and come at a more accessible price point. We've set our service fees at a reduced rate comparable to what you might pay as an out-of-pocket gap payment when seeing a fully registered psychologist with a Medicare rebate. While these sessions don't attract Medicare rebates themselves, your wallet will barely notice the difference!
