Stage 1 · Consent
Informed, written, before anything starts.
Our services, in detail
Four services for children, families and schools, with informed consent before any assessment.
Program 01 · Why it's hard, not just that it is
Psychological assessment
Assessment combines standardised measures with observation, school information and what parents already know. The purpose is to explain why a child is finding something difficult and what would help, not to produce a score. Where another professional is needed — a paediatrician, a speech and language therapist — we say so.
Stage 2 · Information
School, home and any existing reports.
Stage 3 · Direct work
With the child, at their pace.
Stage 4 · Feedback
Explained to parents before the report.
Stage 1 · Referral
What the school is concerned about.
Stage 2 · Consultation
Structured discussion with staff.
Stage 3 · Strategies
Specific and achievable in a classroom.
Stage 4 · Review
Did it help, and what next.
Program 02 · Advice staff can use
Consultation for schools
Much of what helps a child happens in a classroom without a psychologist present. Consultation gives school staff a structured way to think about a pupil and leave with specific, practical strategies — and sometimes concludes that assessment isn't needed at all.
Program 03 · Plain language
Work with parents and carers
Families often hold several reports and no clear picture. We go through what the findings actually mean, what is likely to help at home and at school, and what questions to put to the school or local authority — without promising outcomes nobody controls.
Stage 1 · Listening
Your account of your child comes first.
Stage 2 · Explanation
Findings in language that makes sense.
Stage 3 · Practical steps
At home and in school.
Stage 4 · Signposting
Who else should be involved.
Stage 1 · Scope
What the process actually requires.
Stage 2 · Assessment
Carried out properly, with consent.
Stage 3 · Report
Opinion and recommendations, evidenced.
Stage 4 · Attendance
At a meeting or hearing if required.
Program 04 · Independent, and honest
Advice for statutory processes
Independent advice for statutory processes, written to the standard expected and clear about what the evidence supports. We are independent of any local authority or school, and we won't write a conclusion the assessment doesn't justify — including when a family hopes for a particular outcome.
