Sensational Kids’ psychologists counsel and support children, adolescents, adults and families.

Psychologists

BRITTANY TAYLOR

Brittany graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2013 with a Master of Educational Psychology degree and completed extra training to become registered as an Educational & Developmental Psychologist. She is also a member of the Australian Psychological Society and sits on the committee board of the VIC College of Educational and Developmental Psychologists whose work provides training and advocacy for other psychologists.

Brittany has worked in a range of primary schools within the Government and Catholic systems. She has a passion for working with those children who suffer from anxiety in addition to supporting young people who have learning difficulties and disabilities including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. Brittany also has experience in working with children and adolescents on the Autism Spectrum in addition to those with behavioural difficulties, emotional regulation issues, social concerns, and with children from trauma backgrounds. She believes that working with the child’s “team” (i.e., collaboratively with families and schools) is the best way of bringing about change in a young person’s life. Brittany uses a range of different therapy modalities including cognitive-behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, and play-based learning.

Brittany currently works full-time at a primary school in the south-east suburbs so is based at our Cheltenham clinic on Saturdays.
