Are additional concerns or conditions supported?

Every child and family has unique circumstances, so we recommend booking an initial parent interview with one of our psychologists to talk through your situation and explore whether we can provide support beyond the conditions listed.

What can I expect in the first appointment?

The first session is a parent interview that focuses on understanding your child and your concerns. We will discuss their development, strengths, and any current challenges, and work with you to identify possible next steps and whether further support may be helpful.

How do I know if my child may need support?

Families often consider support when changes in behaviour, emotions, learning, or relationships start to impact everyday life at home or school. If you are feeling uncertain or concerned, an initial appointment may help determine whether support could be helpful.

How do assessments differ from therapy?

Assessments help develop a clearer understanding of how your child thinks, learns, and functions, whereas therapy focuses on supporting emotional, behavioural, or social well-being through strategies and skill development. At times, an assessment may inform therapy, while in other situations, therapy may start independently.

What types of challenges can parental management training assist with?

Parental management training is adapted to meet your and your child’s needs. Some of the common concerns we assist with include: Oppositional/defiant behaviours Toilet training and soiling School refusal Coping with parental separation Major life transitions
