Nurturing passion and peaceful persistence
(no matter your ability or circumstance)
Looking for psychology services for kids, teens, and families on the Sunshine Coast?
Welcome to Remarkability
We’re a supportive team of psychologists, behaviour support practitioners, registered teachers, and educational psychologists. Working to help your child find inner peace.
We’re a bunch of passionate, experienced psychologists and clinicians in Gympie, Peregian Beach, and Birtinya. We embrace working with neuro-typical and neuro-divergent people and families, no matter your ability or circumstance.
Our mission is to help children and teens, regardless of situation or complexity, achieve a sense of peacefulness and hope. We do this by offering solution focussed psychology and assessment, and considerate collaboration with schools and families.
We offer evidence-based psychology services to help children and their families overcome uncertainty and helplessness to achieve a sense of inner peace that will help set you and your child up for future success.
We look forward to welcoming you.
And if you’re lucky, you’ll get to meet Dr Diesel Dog, our fun-loving-tail-wagging-super-cute support dog.
