An ADHD assessment provides a clear, evidence based understanding of attention, impulsivity and self regulation across home, school and work.
It includes a structured clinical interview, developmental and educational history, validated rating scales completed by the client and key informants, screening of executive functioning and cognition and careful consideration of differential diagnoses and co occurring conditions such as anxiety, trauma, sleep issues, learning differences or autism.
You receive a concise written report with formulation, functional impacts and tailored recommendations, and where appropriate we coordinate with your GP or psychiatrist regarding medication and ongoing care. Assessments are available for children, adolescents and adults, in clinic or via secure telehealth, with reasonable adjustments provided.
An autism assessment provides a clear, neuro-affirming understanding of communication, social interaction, sensory processing and patterns of behaviour across home, school and work. It includes a structured clinical interview and developmental history, observational assessment, validated rating scales from the client and key informants, and screening of cognition, language, adaptive functioning and sensory needs. Differential diagnoses and co-occurring conditions are carefully considered.
You receive a concise report with formulation, strengths, support needs and practical recommendations for reasonable adjustments, education or workplace planning and NDIS documentation where relevant. Assessments are available for children, adolescents and adults, delivered in clinic or via secure telehealth, with collaboration with your GP, paediatrician or psychiatrist for diagnostic confirmation and ongoing care.
A PTSD assessment provides a careful, trauma informed evaluation of symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance, changes in mood and arousal, and the functional impacts on home, work and study.
It includes a structured clinical interview, a detailed timeline of events, validated measures such as the PCL 5 and where required the CAPS 5, risk and safety screening, and consideration of differential diagnoses and co occurring conditions including anxiety, depression, substance use, pain and traumatic brain injury.
Findings are integrated into a clear formulation and written report with practical recommendations, a safety and stabilisation plan, and an evidence based treatment pathway which may include EMDR and brief therapies. Assessments are available for children, adolescents and adults, delivered via secure telehealth.
A cognitive assessment provides a comprehensive profile of attention, memory, processing speed, language, visuospatial skills and executive functioning using standardised tests (for example WAIS-IV or WISC-V, D-KEFS, RBANS or MoCA), a structured clinical interview and collateral information. The process clarifies strengths, functional impacts and differential diagnoses such as ADHD, learning differences, acquired brain injury or trauma, and leads to practical recommendations for study, work and daily living.
You receive a clear report with targeted strategies, reasonable adjustments and referral guidance; with consent we liaise with your GP, school, employer or insurer, and can provide NDIS documentation where relevant. Formal testing is conducted in person, while interviews and questionnaires can be completed via secure telehealth. Suitable for children, adolescents and adults.
