Child Psychotherapy Clinic
Child Psychotherapy is a specialist way of working with children who are experiencing some distress or difficulties in their life. These difficulties may be as a result of past or current experiences such as abuse, neglect, medical intervention, or a change in their environment, for example the death or illness of a family member or a change in their family circumstances.
Symptoms may include; school refusal, regressed behaviour, tantrums, separation anxiety, unusual aggressiveness etc.
How can Child Psychotherapy help?
Child Psychotherapy provides an opportunity for the child to work through their difficulties so that they have mastery over them. This is done in an environment conducive to providing a safe and helpful experience for the child. Child Psychotherapists work alongside parents in order to support them and to offer some understanding of their child's distress.
Our Child Psychotherapy Clinic and Ethics
The AUT University Child Psychotherapy Clinic is located at the North Shore Campus, Akoranga Drive, Northcote. The Clinic is designed and equipped specifically for children to enable them to feel at ease in an unfamiliar situation.

Child Psychotherapy is provided by students studying the Master of Health Science. Sessions are video taped and/or screened to ensure safety for the child and the best training for the student. Weekly supervision is provided by a senior practising Child Psychotherapist.
The Practice undertaken at the clinic will adhere to the Code of Ethics set by the New Zealand Association of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists.
