​
We partner with children and their families to conduct a comprehensive clinical assessment, in order to make sense of their challenges and to clarify the changes they seek. We then use our knowledge and expertise to collaboratively develop a treatment plan using practical and individually-tailored strategies.
If desired, and with your consent, we can liaise with medical, allied health, and education staff involved in your child’s care to ensure coordinated care and supports.
​
We offer child, parent-only, and family sessions, as well as school consultations.
​
Sessions are available face-to-face at our Frenchs Forest clinic on Sydney's Northern Beaches or via Telehealth.
​
No referral is required to make an appointment, unless you plan to access Medicare rebates for sessions.
​
We do not currently offer psychometric assessments or forensic assessments or reports.
