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.

The CAT (Child Attachment Test) is a psychological assessment used to understand a child’s emotions, relationships, and inner thoughts through storytelling based on picture cards.
The CAT assessment is designed for children aged 3 to 10 years, as it matches their developmental level and ability to express emotions through stories rather than direct conversation.
A child may need a CAT assessment if they struggle to express feelings, show emotional withdrawal, have behavioral changes, or face difficulties at home or school.
Yes. The CAT assessment is completely safe, non-invasive, and child-friendly, with no right or wrong answers and no pressure on the child.
A trained psychologist shows illustrated cards to the child and encourages them to tell stories. These stories help identify emotional patterns, attachment styles, and coping mechanisms.
The CAT assessment can help identify emotional concerns such as anxiety, fear, attachment issues, insecurity, low self-esteem, emotional conflicts, and relationship difficulties.
No. The CAT assessment does not label or judge a child. It is used to gain deeper emotional insight and guide supportive therapy or counselling plans.
Only qualified child psychologists or mental health professionals are trained to interpret CAT assessment results accurately and ethically.
