Hornsby Kuringai Psychology

Kuringai Psychology is a psychology clinic in Hornsby, New South Wales, offering tailored psychological assessments and therapy for children, adolescents, and young adults up to 25 years of age. The clinic’s approach is built on over 20 years of clinical experience and focuses on achieving long-term emotional and behavioural wellbeing through a structured three-phase process.

Phase one involves an in-depth, parent-focused interview to gather essential background information and establish treatment goals. In phase two, the child meets with the clinician for one-on-one sessions where individual needs are assessed, and a personalised therapy plan is created. Parent coaching is introduced at this stage to empower parents in supporting their child’s progress. Phase three centres on lapse and relapse prevention, offering continued therapy or parent coaching to maintain stability and long-term improvement.

Led by Clinical Psychologist Jackie Schell, the clinic provides evidence-based assessment and therapy for conditions including ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, learning difficulties, and behavioural challenges. Services also include Cogmed Working Memory Training and self-paced online courses to support mental fitness and parenting skills.
