A warm, collaborative and evidence-based approach

I’m Thaisa Costa, a Registered Psychologist working primarily with children and pre-adolescents.

My approach is warm, collaborative and practical. I place particular importance on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where children can feel understood, respected and supported while developing greater confidence, emotional awareness and coping skills.

I also work closely with parents, caregivers, schools and other professionals involved in a child’s care when appropriate, helping create greater consistency and understanding around the child.

My work is informed by evidence-based approaches, while always adapting therapy to each child’s age, developmental stage, personality and individual needs.

Assessment

Therapeutic approaches and practical skills

I provide ADHD assessment, alongside assessment and psychological treatment for a range of mental health, emotional and behavioural concerns.

My approach is evidence-based, child-centred and collaborative, with therapy tailored to each child’s developmental stage, individual needs, personality and goals.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy, with my work also informed by Attachment Theory and broader developmental and relational frameworks.
