To ensure a comprehensive understanding of your issues, history, family structure, supports and resources I undertake a thorough assessment. This will typically involve:

• An introductory session to meet you together with your child

• An individual session with your child in which I have the opportunity to understand their perspective. This might involve talking, completing questionnaires, drawing and other creative activities

• A session attended only by the parents

• Where applicable, a phone call to kindergarten or school, and other health professionals involved

​

I am flexible in approach and willing to discuss this process with you, and any changes that might be necessary to suit your family.

​

It is important that you bring to the initial session the reports from any previous assessments your child has undertaken (for example, Paediatrician, Psychiatrist, Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist).
