If so, read on to discover if our service might be a good fit for your needs…
Our psychologists have postgraduate training in Educational and Developmental Psychology and experience working in schools and in private practice.
We’ve helped hundreds of children and teenagers overcome many common challenges, improve learning outcomes and develop valuable life skills…
And – if possible – we would love to help you, too!
But our small team of child psychologists only have a limited number of appointments available each week – particularly the after school time slots…
And we take care to make sure each client we see is genuinely suited to our specific skills and experience…
So for this reason we are unable to help with any of the following issues:
- Serious clinical disorders
- Global intellectual delay
- Low-functioning Autistic Spectrum Disorder*
- Legal reports for child custody matters
(*For high-functioning ASD or Asperger’s Syndrome, we offer help with managing anxiety, improving social skills and parent support.)
This allows us to devote our full attention and care to those clients who are most likely to benefit from our help.
So if you think our service might be a good fit?
We’d love to hear from you!
The first step is to book an initial parent consultation with a psychologist to discuss your needs in detail and get the right advice for your child.
The initial parent consultation is an opportunity for parents to:
- Discuss the issues in detail
- Ask questions and get expert advice
- Make sure it is a good fit
