At Bloom Psychology Practice, we help adults understand what’s really going on underneath the surface — not just in your child’s behaviour, but in your own responses too. Using evidence-based, attachment-focused therapy, we support parents and caregivers to break generational patterns, set healthy boundaries, and create the kind of emotional safety that allows every family member to thrive.
You don’t need to have it all together — you just need the willingness to start. Therapy here isn’t about judging or blaming. It’s about working together to unpack the deeper emotional needs behind challenging behaviours and shifting how your family relates, repairs, and reconnects.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, defeated, confused, or just stuck, you’re not alone. And things can change — starting here.
When family dynamics are strained or dysfunctional, parenting can feel overwhelming. Therapy helps by identifying the patterns that keep you stuck, healing the past, and offering tools to respond with greater clarity and calm. Whether in individual or family sessions, we work together to build healthier relationships, strengthen your support system, and create a more stable environment for you and your children.
When conversations keep turning into conflict (or silence), it’s easy to feel stuck or shut down. We help you understand the patterns, shift the dynamic, and communicate in ways that actually lead to repair — not just more frustration.
Worried about your child, partner, or another family member? When you don’t know how to help, or they won’t let you in, it’s hard not to feel helpless. We help you get clearer on what’s going on — and how to support them without losing yourself.
Living in a home full of tension and conflict isn’t just exhausting — it’s painful, isolating, and wears you down over time. When family relationships feel strained, it’s rarely just one person’s fault. Often, everyone’s doing their best with what they know — but the same unhelpful patterns keep playing out. Therapy offers a space to step back, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and take meaningful steps toward repair, connection, and lasting change.
Separation changes more than your relationship status — it reshapes your family, your routines, and your sense of safety. Whether things are calm or chaotic, we help you navigate the emotional fallout, reduce harm, and create healthier patterns that support your wellbeing and your children’s too.
Violence and coercive control don’t just impact your safety — they affect your sense of reality, identity, and autonomy. When home feels unsafe, even emotionally, it can create fear that immobilises you. We offer a space where you won’t be dismissed or rushed. Whether you’re ready to take action or simply need to talk, we’ll walk with you — at your pace — with a focus on safety, clarity, and long-term healing.
Grief doesn’t follow a straight line. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, or the future you thought you’d have — we help you make sense of your emotions, honour what matters, and find steadier ground in your own time.
Not everything fits neatly into a box. If you're feeling overwhelmed, shut down, anxious, or just not yourself — but you’re not sure why — therapy can help you figure out what’s really going on and how to feel more grounded again.

A court may request families to engage in therapy at any stage during legal proceedings — often to support children’s wellbeing, improve communication, or help resolve ongoing issues. Sometimes referred to as “court-ordered family therapy,” this process may be required before any decisions are made.
At Bloom Psychology Practice, we provide a calm, structured, and child-focused approach that supports families through this process. Our therapists understand the unique pressures that come with family separation and legal oversight, and work to create a space that prioritises clarity, collaboration, and the best possible outcomes for children.
It’s important to be aware that court-ordered therapy may not always be confidential, and information may be shared with the court or legal representatives when required.
Assessment & Feedback
How we start the process
Our assessment process is designed to be thorough, supportive, and child-focused. It typically involves four individual 2-hour sessions — two with each parent. Depending on the age and needs of the child or children, a fifth session may be included to understand their experience and gather relevant insight.
Feedback
Within two weeks of completing the assessment process, we provide a written summary that outlines key observations and therapeutic recommendations. Where Court proceedings are involved, this document can be shared with legal representatives or the Court, as required.

Assessment & Feedback Model
Family therapy at Bloom Psychology Practice may be court-ordered or initiated by parents seeking structured support during separation. Whether mandated or agreed upon, all family therapy referrals begin with a comprehensive assessment and feedback process.
What this involves:
- Assessment: This includes 4–5 individual sessions — typically two with each parent and, depending on the age of the children, a separate session with them.
- Feedback: A written summary is provided within two weeks, outlining clinical impressions and tailored recommendations.
- Next Steps: The letter will include recommendations, which may involve engaging in family therapy, co-parenting support, or individual work — either at Bloom or with another provider better suited to the family's ongoing needs.
The goal of this process is future-focused: we assess current family dynamics and future-oriented needs to guide the most effective, evidence-based interventions. This is not a forensic or investigative process. We are not here to determine who’s right or wrong — we’re here to assess what supports are likely to help your family move forward.
It’s a common concern that there won’t be enough time to share the full story of your family court matter or past conflict — but this isn’t the purpose of assessment. Instead, we ask questions that help us understand your current situation, parenting approach, willingness to collaborate, and your concerns for your children’s wellbeing.
A few important things to know:
- This is not a confidential process: the summary letter is shared with both parties and their legal representatives.
- No documents required: we do not review or accept external material as this is not a forensic assessment.
- If family therapy is recommended, you may continue with Bloom or be referred to a different practitioner depending on what best suits your family’s needs.
- Medicare rebates do not apply to this process, and a Mental Health Treatment Plan is not required.
