Toddler Counselling in Creswick, VIC

HYM is a private child psychology clinic managed by Psychologist Ann Magiris. HYM supports children who are experiencing mental health, learning or behavioural issues. Ann is very passionate about helping your child build their toolbox so they are better equipped to face obstacles and cope with difficult situations. Ann's approach is to establish what is going on for your child and then create a plan, incorporating essential skill development during the therapeutic process. Parents play a vital role in supporting the process so their child can practice skills and make progress. Together we can make a difference!

I enjoy working with individuals from a variety of ages including children (as young as four years old), adolescents, and adults who are presenting for various reasons. My approach with children is fun, flexible, and engaging, and with teens I focus on listening, empathising, and validation. While my approach with adults is compassionate, genuine, and built on a shared experience.

Sandra is an experienced bilingual clinical psychologist who sees different people from all walks of life, as circumstances bring many of us to therapy at different points or phases in life and for a variety of reasons. Sandra’s therapy setting provides a caring, not judgemental, supportive space where people can feel safe to express themselves and their inner feelings and where the person can have the experience to feel held in an accepting, respectful and empathetic way. This catharsis provides the individual with a freedom to unburden, relax and try to find a new stable foundation for a more fulfilling future and experiences.

Our team includes Psychologists, Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Counsellors and Provisional Psychologists experience in the provision of work-based mediation, critical incident debriefing, trauma-focused therapy, the effects of substance abuse in the workplace, anger management and increasing work attendance and satisfaction.

Finding the right support from an understanding person is essential.

Many of our clients have been struggling for some time before they call desperate for support. The presenting issues are diverse and often involve clinical presentations where their thoughts or behaviours are impacting on the day to day functioning ( or that of their family members). We work from 'The Canterbury Suites' which have tastefully furnished therapy rooms and a well resourced play therapy room. We also have a comprehensive library of resources that clients can access to help assist them to work on the achievement of their individual goals.

I work with children and young people to help navigate the challenges they may face in life including family conflict, parental separation, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, peer pressure, bullying and low self-esteem. Every child reacts differently to challenges they are facing and therefore I tailor therapy to best suit their individual needs. My aim is to help your child express their thoughts and feelings and provide them with strategies to cope better with the changes and challenges they are experiencing. My area of expertise includes trauma, depression and suicide prevention, family issues, self-esteem and anxiety.
