FAQs
What types of topics are covered in your training & workshops?

These may include strategies for positive behaviour support, emotional regulation, social skill development, and understanding neurodivergence. Sessions may also include practical tools for parents, educators and support workers. Guided by child psychologist Barbara Kapser, the training draws from evidence-informed approaches tailored to each audience. The aim is to offer thoughtful insights and techniques that can be adapted into daily interactions with children. If you’re looking for training therapy in Darwin that encourages collaborative and respectful care, our workshops are designed with this in mind.
Who are the training sessions suitable for?
Our training and workshops are suitable for a range of participants, including parents, carers, educators, allied health professionals and support workers. Whether you’re navigating a specific behavioural concern or looking to build knowledge around child development, these sessions may offer practical and supportive guidance. Facilitated by child psychologist Barbara Kapser, the content is adjusted to suit different knowledge levels and roles. If you’re seeking training and workshop therapy in Darwin that bridges professional knowledge with real-world application, our sessions are structured to support that balance. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, reflect on case examples, and explore strategies that align with their unique settings.
What is behaviour support, and how is it addressed in training?
Behaviour support focuses on understanding the reasons behind certain behaviours and identifying positive ways to respond. In our workshops, participants are guided through practical frameworks that encourage safe, respectful and constructive responses to behavioural challenges. These sessions draw on the clinical insights of child psychologist Barbara Kapser, incorporating current thinking in developmental psychology. For those seeking behaviour support in Darwin, training explores how to create supportive environments and consistent strategies that may help children thrive. Rather than focusing on managing behaviour alone, the workshops highlight the importance of connection, communication and individual needs as key components of support.
Are these workshops evidence-informed?
Yes, our training sessions are grounded in evidence-informed practices. We draw from a variety of psychological and therapeutic frameworks that are recognised within child development and behavioural support fields. Led by child psychologist Barbara Kapser, these sessions are developed with careful attention to current research, clinical understanding and practical implementation. The goal is to provide participants with thoughtful, realistic tools that can be adapted in real-life settings.

Are the workshops interactive or lecture-style?
Our workshops are structured to be interactive, allowing space for discussion, questions and practical exploration of key topics. While foundational content is provided, participants are encouraged to reflect, share and engage in group activities where appropriate. Sessions led by child psychologist Barbara Kapser aim to create a learning environment that respects lived experiences and different perspectives. This approach supports deeper understanding and helps participants relate the content to their own roles.

Can the training be tailored for specific groups or organisations?
Yes, tailored training is available for schools, support services, community organisations and other groups looking for focused content. Sessions can be adjusted in length, format and subject matter depending on the needs of the group. Led by child psychologist Barbara Kapser, tailored workshops can support those working directly with children or in systems where behavioural and developmental understanding is essential. If your organisation is seeking training and workshop therapy in Darwin that aligns with specific practice needs, we’re open to discussing options that suit your goals. Custom sessions may include case-based discussion, planning tools and guided implementation strategies.
How does training support long-term outcomes?
While each workshop focuses on specific skills or topics, the broader intention is to support lasting, sustainable approaches to behavioural and emotional wellbeing. Training provides a foundation of understanding that can guide daily decisions, team discussions and care planning over time. Facilitated by child psychologist Barbara Kapser, these sessions explore both practical techniques and underlying principles. For those seeking training therapy in Darwin, workshops may help participants feel more equipped to respond with consistency, compassion and clarity. Long-term outcomes are often supported through follow-up learning, reflective practice and collaboration among those involved in a child’s care.
Do I need prior knowledge of therapy or psychology to attend?

Whether you’re a parent, support worker, teacher or carer, sessions are delivered in a way that supports understanding at all levels.
