The Child Sentence Completion Test (CSCT) is a gentle projective assessment designed for children aged 8–16 years. Through simple, open-ended sentences, children can naturally express their emotions, thoughts, family relationships, self-image, and social experiences. This assessment supports child counseling by helping child psychologists understand a child’s inner world in a safe, non-intimidating way, guiding personalised emotional and behavioural support.

Industry experts from renowned universities.
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.
