A good day out of the office for the Caterpillar Clinic team, learning about Collaborative & Proactive Solutions from THE Dr Ross Greene (yes, author of The Explosive Child and Lost at School, amongst others). A great approach focused on problem solving and generating solutions to difficult situations by working with (not on) the child and developing their skills to prevent problem behaviours. Back to the office to keep the good work going tomorrow!

We are super excited to introduce our TWO new provisional psychologists who have joined the Caterpillar team. Pyper comes on board with great experience from the NDIS sector as a previous Behaviour Support Practitioner, alongside clinical experience in a range of areas. Sara joins us in her fifth and final year of training to be a registered psychologist, having completed her clinical placements under her Masters training. Both Sara and Pyper are fantastic additions to the Clinic and allow families to access as many sessions as needed with a lower session rate than our fully registered psychologists, with clinicians who have existing clinical experience and full supervision. Check out our website http://www.caterpillarclinic.com.au to view their profiles, and feel free to contact us via phone (07 4281 6886) or email (admin@caterpillarclinic.com.au) for more information or to book in your child. Limited wait times currently! 🥳
