Assessment
Our team provides a range of comprehensive assessments that are useful to identifying learning or developmental concerns for your child. In addition to giving you a good understanding of what might be causing current concerns, these reports can go towards obtaining diagnoses, accessing funding (e.g., NDIS, inclusion support) and/or supporting requests for learning and behaviour accommodations with schools. We use the most recent and up-to-date assessment tools and follow best-practice guidelines when conducting all our assessments.

Psychology
Children and adolescents can experience many challenges across home, school, family, friendships, and managing the ever-changing world we live in.
Our psychological services aim to provide support for learning and development, understanding and managing behaviours, recognising emotions and thoughts, and maintaining good mental health through education and skill development. Our clinicians provide a caring yet comprehensive assessment of concerns and implement evidence-based practices including CBT, ACT and DBT-informed therapies.
