Are additional concerns or conditions supported?

Because each child and family is different, we encourage you to arrange an initial parent interview with one of our psychologists to discuss your concerns and determine whether support may be available beyond those outlined 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.

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 is designed to understand how your child thinks, learns, and functions, while therapy focuses on building strategies and skills to support emotional, behavioural, or social well-being. In some cases, an assessment may guide therapy, while in others, therapy may begin without one.

What types of challenges can parental management training assist 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

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

Educational and Cognitive Assessments

Cognitive assessments test cognitive abilities (IQ) in an effort to identify strengths and areas that may benefit from support.
