Every assessment is tailored to your child. In many cases more than one area is looked at together — because ADHD, attention difficulties and cognitive differences often overlap.
Understanding your child's
unique profile
When your child is struggling and you don't know why, a psychological assessment can help you finally get some answers — and give everyone supporting your child a clear picture to work from.
What we assess
Four types of assessment,
Four types of assessment,
all in one place
ADHD
ADHD Screening
ADHD doesn't always look like a hyperactive child. Many kids — especially girls — show up as daydreamy, disorganised or emotionally sensitive. We look at how attention and impulse control affect your child at home and at school.
ASD
Autism Screening
Autism looks different in every child. Some are identified early; others reach school age still unexplained. Assessment helps clarify whether autistic traits are present and how they're affecting your child's daily life.
WISC
Cognitive Assessment
The WISC goes well beyond an IQ score — it maps how your child thinks, reasons and processes information. Particularly useful when a child seems bright but is struggling in specific areas at school.
Memory & Attention
Memory & Attention
Some children struggle to hold onto information, stay focused or translate understanding into action. This assessment identifies where the difficulties are and what conditions help your child learn best.

worth finding out
You don't need a referral or a diagnosis to enquire. If you've been noticing any of the following, a conversation is a good place to start.
- Teachers have raised concerns about attention or behaviour
- Your child works hard but can't keep up with their class
- They seem bright at home but underperform at school
- They struggle to sit still, wait their turn or control impulses
- They find it hard to make or keep friendships
- They have big emotional outbursts that feel out of proportion
- They show repetitive habits or intense, narrow interests
- They understand things verbally but struggle when it's written
- They have trouble remembering multi-step instructions
- Your gut tells you something is different — but no one's explained it
Every assessment ends with practical guidance that families can actually use — not just a label, but a clear picture and a path forward.

How it works
Six simple steps --
Six simple steps --
from first contact to final report
01
We start with you
Before your child is seen, we spend time with you — gathering background on their development, school history and the concerns that brought you here. You know your child best, and that matters clinically.
02
Questionnaires for home and school
You and your child's teacher each complete a short questionnaire. This gives us a picture of how your child functions in different settings — because the same child can look very different at home versus school.
03
Sessions with your child
Assessment sessions are warm and relaxed — tasks are presented as activities, not tests. Most children enjoy them. There are no right or wrong answers in many parts of the process.
04
We walk you through the results
Once the assessment is done, we meet with you — just you — to explain what we found in plain language. You'll leave knowing exactly what your child's profile means and what to do next.
05
A written report you can actually use
You receive a clear, jargon-free report you can share with your child's school, GP or specialist. It includes a summary of findings and specific recommendations for home and school.
06
Ongoing support if you need it
Assessment can be a starting point, not just an end point. Therapy can continue afterwards to help your child build on their strengths and put the recommendations into practice.
Fees
Straightforward and affordable
Assessment fees depend on the complexity and scope of what's needed. Rather than a fixed price list, we prefer to talk it through with you first — that way you know exactly what's involved before committing to anything.
Reports are suitable for sharing with your child's school, GP, paediatrician or child psychiatrist.
Please note that a psychological assessment contributes valuable clinical information and may form part of a broader process. Any formal diagnosis and decisions about medication are made by a medical specialist such as a paediatrician or child psychiatrist.
