Assessment Overview

Our assessment package is designed to give you a clear understanding of your child’s emotional, behavioural, and learning needs.

The first session will be taken by a Consultant Psychologist to understand your child’s background, concerns, and goals, and to plan the right set of assessments.

The other three sessions will be taken by a Clinical Psychologist who will conduct detailed assessments and observations to explore your child’s strengths and areas that may need support.

After the sessions, you’ll receive a detailed report along with clear guidance on the next steps for therapy, school, or home support.
