North Shore Child Clinic

North Shore Child Clinic (NSCC) was founded by Emma Kavanagh-Hyde to meet the increasing demand for specialised Clinical Psychology services for Children, Adolescents and their families on Sydney’s Lower North Shore. We provide assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for a range of issues, encompassing emotional, behavioural, social and learning difficulties in children, adolescents and their families.

All the psychologists at NSCC are trained in Clinical Psychology and skilled in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of child and adolescent emotional, behavioural and learning difficulties. We are strongly committed to providing the highest standard of clinical professional care using current scientifically-proven effective treatments.

At NSCC, we work closely with children and parents to provide practical effective individually-tailored treatments to help make long-lasting changes in their lives. Our approach is collaborative and we place emphasis on creating a supportive, empathic environment to explore and understand the unique experience of each child and family.

As Registered Psychologists, our team are bound by a code of ethics and professional practice. We abide by the Australian Psychological Society Charter for Clients of Psychologists to ensure that we offer children and families a safe, confidential, and child-centred family environment. We are registered to provide psychological services under the Medicare Better Access to Mental Health Care Initiative.
