What makes Afiya InMind Kids different
Afiya InMind Kids is a culturally-safe service for Muslim children and adolescents that understands children within their full world, their emotions, family, school, culture, faith, and development.
Rather than only focusing on “behaviour problems”, Afiya InMind Kids highlights emotional wellbeing, parent guidance, early support, and culturally responsive care within the lens of Islamic Psychology and wellbeing.
Helping children feel understood, supported, and emotionally strong.
Afiya InMind Kids provides compassionate psychological and counselling support for children, young people, and families.
We help with anxiety, emotional regulation, school stress, trauma, grief, behaviour concerns, neurodivergence, family changes, bullying, and confidence.
Our approach is child and family centred, family-inclusive, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-informed care. We work alongside parents and schools where appropriate, helping children build practical skills while supporting caregivers to understand what their child may be communicating through behaviour.
Psychological assessments
Afiya InMind Kids provides comprehensive diagnostic assessments for children and young people where there are concerns about development, learning, behaviour, attention, emotional wellbeing, or neurodivergence.
Our assessments may assist families to better understand a child’s strengths, challenges, support needs, and possible diagnoses such as Autism, ADHD, anxiety, learning difficulties, intellectual disability, trauma-related concerns, or emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Each assessment is completed with care, clinical sensitivity, and family involvement. Where appropriate, information from parents, schools, teachers, and other professionals may be considered to provide a clearer understanding of the child’s needs.
Assessment reports can help guide treatment planning, school adjustments, NDIS access, pediatrician or GP reviews, and ongoing therapeutic support.
Weekly Islamic Psychology Groups for Children and Adolescents
Afiya InMind Kids also offers weekly therapeutic groups for children and adolescents, grounded in an Islamic psychology approach.
The benefits
These face-to-face groups provide a safe, supportive, and age-appropriate space for young people to build emotional awareness, confidence, resilience, social skills, self-regulation, and healthy coping strategies. The program integrates psychological tools with Islamic concepts of wellbeing, character, identity, connection, compassion, sabr, tawakkul, and hope.
Who is it for?
Groups may support children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, stress, low confidence, emotional overwhelm, peer difficulties, identity concerns, school pressures, grief, family changes, or challenges related to belonging and faith.
Our Approach
Our approach recognises that Muslim children and adolescents benefit from support that understands their emotional, developmental, family, cultural, and spiritual world. Islamic-oriented counselling literature highlights the value of integrating Islamic principles with therapeutic care for children, adolescents, and families. Research also discusses the broader integration of Islamic models of the self with contemporary psychological therapies.
