Emotional Dysregulation in Children Artarmon

Big emotions can feel overwhelming for both children and parents. Emotional Dysregulation in Children Artarmon focuses on helping young people who struggle with intense reactions, frequent outbursts, sudden mood shifts or difficulty calming themselves. These behaviours are often signs of emotional overload rather than misbehaviour.

Jhodi is a Sydney-based adolescent therapist and social worker who supports children and teens experiencing emotional dysregulation. Her calm, supportive approach helps young people feel safe enough to explore what is happening beneath their reactions.

Why Choose Us for Emotional Dysregulation in Children Artarmon

Jhodi uses trauma-aware, evidence-informed strategies that focus on regulation rather than punishment. Therapy is compassionate, practical and tailored to each child’s nervous system needs.
