Child Behaviour

All young children can be naughty, defiant and impulsive from time to time, which is perfectly normal. However, some children have extremely difficult and challenging behaviours.

Children’s Feelings

We can help you if you need support to help your child manage distressing feelings such as sadness, worry, and anger. These feelings lead to the dreaded temper tantrums.

Developmental Issues

It is common for some children to take more time than others to develop emotional, behavioural or social skills. Our child psychologists can bring clarity and offer evidence-based guidance.

Separation Anxiety

Our work in separation anxiety, also known as attachment issues, is grounded in the understanding that your children need you to be their safe base.

Adolescent Issues

Navigating the journey from adolescence to adulthood can be difficult to say the least. Our psychologists and therapists have helped many young people in making this transition.

Other issues we help clients with at Attuned Psychology

Is this only for performance anxiety?

No. It’s one of the most common reasons people first get in touch, but it’s rarely the whole picture.

This work covers the full experience of a creative life, including things such as improving the quality and enjoyment of performance, setting values based goals for your career, coping with burnout, dealing with the impact of touring on your relationship and mood and more.

Who is this for?

Musicians, singers, actors, dancers, visual artists and creatives of any discipline, from students through to touring professionals.

It also extends to the people around them: teachers, conductors, directors and crew, who carry their own version of the pressure, and to the partners and families navigating a performing life alongside someone else.

Is this an inclusive, LGBTQIA+ affirming space?

Yes. The arts community has a high proportion of LGBTQIA+ representation, and affirming practice isn’t an add-on here, it’s core to how I work. I bring significant experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients specifically, alongside a broader commitment to neurodiversity affirming and culturally responsive care.

Being a performer or creative inherently means being vulnerable in front of others. You deserve a space where you can show up completely as yourself.

We listen to you without judgement and work with you to provide practical strategies, support and insight based on up to date scientific research to help support change and better manage any emotional and mental health issues.
