The Children's Psychology Hub

FOUNDED BY ZARA O'BRIEN

Helping every adult understand and support the children in their care

Therapy for children. Consultations for parents. Training and resources for the professionals around them — because when the adults are equipped, the child can flourish.

SERVICES

For families. For professionals. For the children between.

Three distinct strands. One framework. Built on the belief that psychological expertise shouldn't be locked away in a clinic. I provide the tools to help the entire village understand, support, and flourish—because when the adults are equipped, the child thrives.

EQUIPING THE VILLAGE

Therapy doesn't happen
in isolation.

Every child lives in a village. The therapy room is one small part of that village — and what happens in it is most useful when the rest of the village knows what to do with it. The child is always at the centre of that: what goes beyond the room, and to whom, is their conversation to lead.

What can extend beyond the session is the work itself — worksheets to borrow, resources to use at home, a teaching conversation with a parent about a strategy that's helping. These are tools, not disclosures. The child knows what's being shared and has agreed to it. The content of their sessions stays private. The benefit doesn't have to.
