Each psychologist has different areas of expertise and skill. When you make your initial appointment we will match you with a psychologist who specialises in your area of need.  

During your first appointment, your psychologist will assess your individual situation.  Once completed your psychologist can give you an estimate of the number of sessions required as this varies depending on the presenting issues. Individual sessions are usually 50 minutes, however, psychological testing sessions can be longer.

Child and adolescent assessments consist of an initial interview with parents/carers to gather background information and identify an appropriate assessment pathway. A number of sessions with the individual will then be carried out and this may include a school observation. A report is then written up and a feedback session is undertaken with the parents/carers. 

Psychologist’s can provide a variety of psychological assessments and treatments/therapies to suit your specific needs.  Every person is different and therapists understand that treatment needs to be flexible and tailored to help you with your particular issues.  Psychologists will work with you to determine the most appropriate course of treatment.

The information shared between clients and their psychologist is kept confidential.  Client records are kept securely and information can only be released with your permission. There are, however, a few exceptions.  If your files are subpoenaed, if we are concerned you may be of harm to yourself or another person; or if you report significant criminal activity. Psychologists are also required to report any suspected child abuse (physical or sexual) to Care and Protection.
