Emotional Dysregulation in Children Lavender Bay

Emotional Dysregulation in Children Lavender Bay support helps families understand and manage big emotional reactions in children and adolescents. Emotional Dysregulation in Children Lavender Bay focuses on supporting young people who struggle with intense feelings, frequent meltdowns, sudden mood changes, or difficulty calming themselves. These challenges are common and often linked to school stress, social pressures, family changes, or screen-related overwhelm, rather than poor behaviour or parenting.

Jhodi is a Sydney-based adolescent therapist and social worker who supports children and teens in Lavender Bay and surrounding areas. She provides a calm, safe, and non-judgemental environment where young people can begin to understand their emotions and feel supported rather than criticised.
