Helen Millar

​

 

Helen is a nurturing and experienced child and family psychologist. She creates space where her clients can feel:

 

• Safe,

• Seen, and

• Supported.

 

She offers educational and developmental assessments at Melbourne Children’s Clinic. These can help parents and carers to identify their child’s learning needs, as well as whether they might need extra support to manage the demands of their day-to-day life, be that at home, school or socially. Helen’s assessments are informed by the people who know a child best: their parents/carers, teachers and broader care team.

 

Helen’s practice is grounded in scientific evidence, curiosity and compassion. Through open and non-judgemental conversations, Helen helps children develop insight into how their brains work best, which strengthens their identity and supports their capacity to self-advocate. She is affirming of the many beautiful ways in which brains are wired and families are formed.  

 

Helen consults from Melbourne Children’s Clinic on Mondays, as well as from Arbour Psychology (Hawthorn East and Richmond).

 

In her free time, Helen enjoys catching some sunshine while walking her dogs, keeping up with book club reading and (somewhat more often!) watching the latest series. She also finds fulfilment volunteering with vulnerable children.
