Caterpillar Clinic is a private child and adolescent psychology practice that specializes in diagnostic assessments and providing clinical interventions.
We have a team of registered and provisional psychologists all passionate about supporting young people to be the best version of themselves.
We look forward to providing the best support in managing your child’s mental health, developmental, or behavioural challenges.
We provide a range of diagnostic assessments, including evaluation for suspected intellectual impairment or giftedness, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and specific learning disorder.
We provide evidence-based intervention for a range of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, behavioural challenges, emotional regulation, developing friendship and play skills, and school challenges.
We provide a specialist service for young (2-9 years) autistic children requiring a holistic intervention approach covering communication skills, play skills, self-care, academic progress, emotion understanding, and friendships.
We offer services to professional partners (schools, daycares, kindergartens etc) on tailored topics that can include behavioural support, identification of developmental challenges, supporting children with communication difficulties, and much more.
