Support for learning, wellbeing, and behaviour
Early, holistic, and collaborative support for children, families, and educators.
We work alongside tamariki, whānau, and educators to support learning, wellbeing, behaviour, and connection, with services designed to help every child feel safe, seen, and supported.
More than educational psychology
The Growing Minds Hub has evolved to offer more than educational psychology alone.
We exist because every child is unique — and success looks different for every child. When support is shaped around a child’s strengths, needs, interests, and experiences, they are far more likely to thrive in both learning and life.
Too often, support arrives only once things have already become difficult. Our vision is to provide early, preventative, and collaborative support that strengthens children before they reach crisis point, while also equipping the adults around them with practical tools and confidence.
A community where every child is safe, seen, connected, and celebrated
At the heart of The Growing Minds Hub is a belief that wellbeing and learning are deeply connected. Rather than asking children to fit into narrow systems, we focus on flexible, responsive support that helps each child grow in ways that align with who they are.
Our approach is:
Child-centred
Strength-based
Holistic
Preventative
Collaborative
Future-focused
Individualised support
Tailored support for children and the adults around them, including emotional, behavioural, learning, and neurodiversity-related needs.
The Growing Minds Academy
A developing alternative education programme designed to help children reconnect with learning in meaningful, engaging, and confidence-building ways.
Parent & teacher workshops
Practical workshops for parents, caregivers, educators, schools, and community groups, focused on strategies to better support children.
Every child deserves support that fits who they are.

Child support
Support for children experiencing challenges with emotions, behaviour, anxiety, friendships, confidence, or social connection.
Parenting support
Coaching and practical guidance for parents and caregivers wanting support with behaviour, regulation, routines, and connection at home.
Learning & neurodiversity support
Support for children who find learning difficult, overwhelming, inconsistent, or under-stimulating, including tailored assessment and planning.
Early, practical, and connected support
We believe children do best when the key adults in their lives are working together, not in isolation.
That is why our approach focuses on support that is:
Early rather than reactive
Practical and achievable
Strength-based and personalised
Grounded in both wellbeing and learning
Designed to create consistency across home, school, and support settings
