How I can help
As a passionate psychologist, I specialise in child psychological assessment. This includes neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, Learning difficulties/differences, giftedness) and behavioural and emotional presentations such as anxiety. I use a child-centred approach, through a strengths and difficulties lens, to support and develop children, parents and families in line with their defined goals and needs. I provide comprehensive neuropsychological and psychoeducational diagnostic assessments and intervention/support plans and recommendations. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of any perceived difficulties, or differences, in how children perceive the world is incredibly important for how we can contribute effectively to their healthy development. In this regard assessment is a critical component of psychological intervention.
