Can you assist with other concerns or conditions?

As each child and family’s situation is different, we suggest booking an initial parent interview with one of our psychologists to discuss your needs and consider whether we may be able to support concerns beyond those listed.

What happens in the first appointment?

The initial session is a parent interview designed to understand your child and your concerns. We will discuss their development, strengths, and any current challenges, and explore possible next steps together, including whether ongoing support may be beneficial.

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.

What is the difference between an assessment and therapy?

An assessment looks at how your child thinks, learns, and functions to provide a clearer understanding, while therapy focuses on developing strategies and skills to support emotional, behavioural, or social well-being. Sometimes therapy is guided by an assessment, while other times it may begin without one.

What types of issues may parental management training help 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

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.

In-Depth Assessments

Understanding your child is often the first step in looking for the right support. We provide diagnostic and psychometric assessments of:

ADHD Assessments

ADHD assessments look at patterns in attention, regulation, and executive functioning to support a better understanding of learning and behaviour.

Dyslexia Assessments

Dyslexia assessments consider reading accuracy, fluency, and language processing to understand literacy development.

ASD Assessments

Autism assessments look at patterns in attention, regulation, and executive functioning to support a better understanding of learning and behaviour.

Dyscalculia Assessments

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

Educational and Cognitive Assessments

Cognitive assessments look at cognitive abilities (IQ) to provide insight into strengths and areas where support may be helpful.

Dysgraphia Assessments

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