Why are you a Child Psychologist?: Because life is wonderful but also very difficult at times. Through it all, people are amazing. Sometimes we just need another person to help us see the truth, wisdom and strength that are available to us but we can't quite see yet. I love being able to help in that process, especially with kids, teens and parents, because the changes we can make early on will last for a lifetime.

John founded the clinic in order to help people. Since 2004 we have been working with young people and families in greater Western Sydney for 20 years!

Starting out with just two small office rooms in a building on Bessemer Street, Blacktown.

Moving to our current clinic on Richmond Rd, Blacktown in 2009 and having grown from just two clinicians to a dynamic team of child psychologists, educational psychologists, mental health practitioners, and mental health social workers we can now help more people than ever.

Why are you a Child Psychologist?: With a passion for interpersonal relationships and a curiosity about the human experience, I was naturally drawn to the discipline of psychology. Being a provisional psychologist at John Blythe Child Psychology gives me great joy to be around children and be able to make little difference in their great journey ahead. I believe that the impact of childhood memories and experiences stays with the child lifelong and that I want to make it better in any way possible to equip children with that, one day at a time.

Why are you a Child Psychologist?:

I have 4 kids of my own and I enjoy connecting with them and seeing them learn, grow and change. I have enjoyed helping kids who face difficulties and helping them to better understand themselves and deal with the difficulties they face. I am super excited to be working with kids and the opportunity to learn and grow in the field.
