Psychology that goes beyond
the therapy room.
BECAUSE CHILDHOOD HAPPENS EVERYWHERE
Practical psychology, tools and ideas for children, young people and the adults around them — wherever childhood happens.
What Happens When We Stop Gatekeeping Psychology?
A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING
When we take psychology out of the therapy room and into everyday life, we can better understand children, respond to what they need, and create the conditions for them to thrive.
And take it to where childhood happens?
We look beyond behaviour.
Challenging behaviour
Worries and anxiety
Withdrawal
Overwhelm
Low self-esteem
We ask different questions
What is this child experiencing?
What do they need?
What is happening around them?
Who can support them?
We change what surrounds them
Relationships
Environments
Expectations
Support
Opportunities
Resources, learning and ideas to make a difference.

ABOUT THE CHILDREN'S PSYCHOLOGY HUB
Created by Zara O'Brien
I'm a psychotherapist with a particular interest in children's psychological wellbeing, health, disability, difference and the experiences that shape childhood. I work with children, young people and families, and with the adults and organisations around them, to understand, support and create the conditions children need to flourish.
Wherever childhood happens, psychology has a place
Take psychology into your practice.
