Paediatric NDIS Psychology

At Walky Talky, we understand that NDIS goals aren't achieved in a vacuum. Whether your child is working on emotional regulation, social connection, or independence, our psychology services are designed to work alongside your child’s existing supports.

Walky Talky Psychology; Goal-based support to help your child thrive in their everyday life.

Paediatric NDIS Services

We provide evidence-based therapy for NDIS participants (Early Childhood and School-Aged) focusing on:

Capacity Building: Developing the skills needed for daily life, such as social navigation and problem-solving.
Emotional Regulation: Helping children understand their sensory and emotional needs to reduce distress.
Parent Coaching: Giving you the strategies to support your child’s NDIS goals at home and in the community.
Executive Functioning: Improving focus, planning, and organization skills for school and home.

Perinatal Support

The period from conception through the first year of your baby's life is a time of immense vulnerability. We provide a safe, non-judgmental space to navigate:

Antenatal and Postnatal Anxiety, OCD & Depression
Birth Trauma: Processing difficult or unexpected birth experiences.
Adjustment to your new identity as a parent
Bonding and Attachment: Helping you feel connected to your baby, even when it feels hard.

NDIS Funding & Eligibility

We currently provide psychology services to NDIS participants who are:

Self-Managed: You manage the funding and pay us directly (we provide a receipt for your claim).
Plan-Managed: We send our invoices directly to your Plan Manager for payment.

The Walky Talky Difference

We don't just see your child for an hour in a clinic. Our NDIS psychology service is about functional outcomes. We focus on what your child needs to do in their real life—whether that's making a friends at school, staying calm in a chaotic classroom, or building the confidence to try new things.

To ensure we are the right fit for your child’s NDIS goals, we invite you to fill out our intake form or book an initial consultation.

Lydia Cargeeg, Psychologist says...

Why Does Everyone Have ADHD These Days?

ADHD can affect far more than attention. It can impact friendships, learning, routines, emotional regulation, independence, and everyday participation at home and school. In this blog, Lydia explains what ADHD can look like in children, why a diagnosis requires real functional impact, and how a comprehensive assessment can help families better understand their child’s needs, strengths, and support options.

Is Paediatric Psychology All Just “Fun and Games”?

Play-based therapy may look simple from the outside, but it can support meaningful skill-building for children who need help with emotional regulation, confidence, social connection, coping skills, and independence. In this blog, Lydia explains how games, drawing, LEGO, and playful activities are used intentionally in paediatric psychology to help children feel safe, engaged, and ready to practise real-life skills.
