Occupational Therapy Helping Children Director/Senior Clinician - Lisa Hughes Occupational Therapy Helping Children is a paediatric private practice which has been operating on the Northern Beaches for over 20 years. We have clinics at Balgowlah and Pymble. Our staff are mature, highly experienced and many have children with whom they have walked the ADHD path. Occupational Therapy Helping Children specialises in treating children with ADHD, sensory processing disorder, developmental disabilities, and learning difficulties. For children with ADHD, occupational therapy can help them with organisation, physical co-ordination and improving their efficiency in everyday tasks. The two main areas that we address with children with ADHD are: Self-regulation - teaching a child to identify and adjust their level of alertness; Executive functioning - teaching a child organisational skills, preparing for and making smooth transitions between events, problem solving and time management. At our practice we teach the child how to develop the skills to help them function more effectively and we educate the family about how to create a home environment and routine that is going to support their child’s needs. Occupational Therapy Helping Children offer a practice at Balgowlah and Pymble in addition to working within the school environment.
Olivia Mackay Therapy Olivia Mackay I am an ADHD psychotherapist and counsellor working with children, adolescents and adults. I create a safe and welcoming space for my clients, within which we can explore and address persistent issues and challenges. I bring a inclusive, neurooaffirming and holistic view to my therapeutic work and integrate somatic and mindfulness elements as relevant and appropriate. CHILDREN My approach to working with children is gentle, sensitive, and always guided by the child. I prioritise building a safe ‘holding’ space where children are able to explore and work through their innermost fears and emotions. We will often use toys, play and/or drawing as mediums to help express difficult experiences in ways which feel less confrontational. ADULTS Psychotherapy provides adults with space for reflection on how our life history influences our current relationships with ourselves and others. I have particular interest in working in with parents and carers, including women during and after pregnancy. As well as being emotionally intense periods of our lives, these times often prompt deep curiosity and reflection on our own childhoods.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE MENTAL HEALTH CHARITY Basically, we're a bunch of twenty-somethings looking out for our mates on the beaches. Our initiative was born from a frustration at the lacking visibility and accessibility of mental health care in our area. And from the anger at losing too many friends to mental illness. One Eighty is youth mental health care and awareness done differently. One Eighty is a registered Australian suicide prevention charity. In particular, we use early intervention to promote the prevention of youth suicide. The organisation’s primary activity is to fund, develop and implement local projects that equip young adults with skills in mental health care. These projects engage through educational programs, mentoring support, and life-skills training. One Eighty is primarily led by a team of dedicated and passionate young adults, ensuring the charity’s vision and actions remain evidence based, outcome specific, relevant and accessible to local young people. One Eighty also works to support youth culture, to celebrate creativity and differences, and to encourage community participation on the Northern Beaches. https://www.facebook.com/oneeightyinc/

Ninette Nell - Neuro-Educational Therapist/Counsellor - Optimal Therapy Services Natural treatment for individuals with ADHD and Anxiety. Reduces symptoms without the use of medication. Neurofeedback works by training the brain to better self-regulate, or balance its own chemical levels. Gradually the brain responds to the cues that are being given, and 'learning' of a new brain rhythm takes place. Once the brain learns this balance and flexibility, it applies this skill to its overall functioning and continues to process information in an efficient manner, improving, or eliminating symptoms, resulting in increased energy and functioning, physiological balance, and optimal performance. Neurofeedback Therapy use specific games/brain exercises that create and/or strengthen neural pathways in the brain. The brain’s neuroplasticity makes long-lasting connections possible to increase the strengthening process. Improvement can be seen in less than ten sessions, but may not fully remediate until 20 to 30 sessions. Individual results depend upon the type of disorder, severity of symptoms, and duration of the problem. The initial assessment is approximately 1 hour. Sessions are 30-60 minutes depending on individual situations. The more frequently the client trains, the quicker and more lasting the results. Learning is consolidated by the brain, the more you practice. A...
