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 occurs during the initial appointment?

The first session is a parent interview focused on getting to know your child and understanding your concerns. We will talk with you about their development, strengths, and any current difficulties. Together, we discuss possible next steps and whether ongoing support may be helpful.

How can I tell if my child may benefit from support?

Many families look for support when shifts in behaviour, emotions, learning, or relationships begin to affect daily routines at home or school. If you are unsure or have concerns, an initial appointment may help you explore whether support may be beneficial.

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
