Children & Adolescents

At Mind Potential Psychology, we recognise that parenting and childhood brings many changes and challenges. This is why we have a dedicated team experienced in working with parents and children from as young as 2 years old.

In terms of brain development, childhood is a critical period that lays the foundation for future growth and development.
