Do you support other concerns or conditions beyond those listed?

As every child and family’s circumstances are unique, we invite you to book an initial parent interview with one of our psychologists to discuss your situation and whether we may be able to assist beyond the conditions listed above.

What occurs during the initial 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.

When should I consider seeking support for my child?

Many families seek support when changes in behaviour, emotions, learning, or relationships begin to affect daily life at home or at school. If you feel unsure or concerned, an initial appointment may help clarify whether support may be beneficial.

What is the difference between an assessment and 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 issues may parental management training help with?

Parental management training is personalised to you and your child. Typical concerns we may support include: Oppositional/defiant behaviours Toilet training and soiling School refusal Coping with parental separation Major life transitions

Welcome to
Aspiring Minds Child Psychology

We are clinical psychologists who provide support to children, young people, and families navigating social, behavioural, and emotional concerns.

Our focus is on helping young people feel secure in their emotions, better understand who they are, and build on their personal strengths. With guidance, they may feel more confident stepping into the world and contributing in meaningful ways.

Comprehensive Assessments

Learning more about your child is often a helpful starting point when seeking support. We conduct diagnostic and psychometric assessments, including:

ADHD Assessments

ADHD assessments are designed to explore attention, self-regulation, and executive functioning to help clarify learning and behavioural needs.

Dyslexia Assessments

Dyslexia assessments focus on reading accuracy, fluency, and language processing to support understanding of literacy development.

ASD Assessments

Autism assessments explore social communication, interaction, and behavioural patterns to support Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis.

Dyscalculia Assessments

Dyscalculia assessments examine number understanding, calculation, and mathematical reasoning to help inform learning support.

Educational and Cognitive Assessments

Cognitive assessments measure cognitive abilities (IQ) to help identify strengths and areas where support may be beneficial.

Dysgraphia Assessments

Dysgraphia assessments assess written expression and spelling to better understand difficulties with written tasks.
