Supporting parents and
children, together.

Our Approach

Parent and Child Together

We work with both children and parents, as meaningful progress happens when families are supported as a whole.

Clear Age Focus

We specialise in early to middle childhood (0–12 years) and do not work with adolescents.

Evidence-Based, Practical Support

Our methods are grounded in research and shaped to suit each family’s unique needs.

Local and Connected

As part of the Bowral community, we value relationships and place, drawing on local strengths.

About Merrigang Psychology

The name Merrigang reflects our deep connection to the local area and its heritage, inspired by the Gundungurra language and the native tiger quoll.
