Friendly Psychological Assessments
for ADHD, Autism, Learning Difficulties and Cognition

designed to fit around you and your family, not the other way around

Assessment services for children (aged 5+), teens and adults in Brisbane & beyond

When something feels off, it can be hard to know what to do next.

Whether you’re a parent worried about your child’s behaviour or learning…

Or an adult wondering if there’s a reason things have always felt harder than they should…

It can be overwhelming.

You’re not sure where to start.

And the thought of a complex, intimidating assessment process only adds to the stress.

Initial Consultation

This first session is all about understanding your situation and working out whether an assessment is the right next step. We’ll talk through your concerns, gather important background information and tailor a plan to your unique needs. You’ll receive a personalised quote after this session and there’s absolutely no pressure to proceed if it doesn’t feel right.

Questionnaires & Assessment Sessions

We gather insights through tailored questionnaires and one or two additional sessions. Sessions may include diagnostic interviews, observation sessions, cognitive assessments or other evidence-based methods to suit you or your child.

Feedback & Results

In your final session, we’ll explain the results and walk you through any diagnoses. You’ll receive a comprehensive report with practical next steps and recommendations for school, work, home and support services. Emotional support is a core part of this session.

Step out of confusion and into understanding.
