Child, Adolescent and Family Counsellor in Mansfield—Support for Life's Challenges

We provide psychological therapy, counselling and assessments for children, adolescents and families navigating mental health, behavioural and social-emotional challenges.

Counsellors That Get What You’re Facing

We’re not just another therapy and counselling practice. We’re a team of specialists who care deeply about the wellbeing of children, teens, and families—and we bring a warm, down-to-earth approach that helps create real, lasting change. What makes us different is how we take the time to really understand what’s going on beneath the surface—and what support will actually make a difference. The result? Counselling that’s not just personalised and thoughtful, but effective enough to work in real life, not just in theory.

The Power of Therapy and Counselling

The way we see ourselves—and the way we respond to the world—comes from a mix of our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences. It’s no wonder it can all feel a bit tangled at times. That’s why working with a professional counsellor can be so helpful. It gives you space to make sense of what’s going on and start creating meaningful, lasting change.

Counselling brings together the best of what we know from psychology, neuroscience, behaviour, and even insights from fields like occupational and speech therapy. It helps us look beyond the surface to understand what’s really going on—whether it’s anxiety, big emotions, or unmet needs. When we understand the “why” behind the challenges, we can give the right support from the start. It’s a proven, evidence-based approach that helps with a wide range of concerns—and it really does make a difference.

Our Story

Hi, I’m Prue—a qualified counsellor and a proud local here in Mansfield. Over the years, working in mental health, education, and disability, I saw just how hard it can be for families in rural areas to find the right kind of support—especially when it comes to emotional and social wellbeing.

That’s what inspired me to create a practice that feels different. At Better You HQ, we’re a small, caring team that offers support grounded in compassion, connection, and real understanding. We’re here to walk alongside you and your family with evidence-based care that’s not just professional, but deeply personal.

Because everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported.
