What We Do

Our Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists specialise in assessing and supporting a broad range of developmental differences such as Autism, DCD/Dyspraxia, Speech Delay and Dyslexia in a respectful, neurodiversity affirmative manner.

PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO HIGH DEMAND WE HAVE HAD MAKE THE VERY DIFFICULT DECISION TO TEMOPRARILY CLOSE OUR PSYCHOLOGY THERAPY & OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY. THIS MEANS THAT WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS FOR THERAPY.

We are still accepting referrals for ASSESSMENTS and PARENT CONSULTS across the board.

• Parent Consultations with a Psychologist

 To discuss and investigate any concerns you may have about your child (without your child present) and provide recommendations.

• Parent and Child Consultations with a Psychologist
