Our learning disorder assessments are designed to accurately identify specific learning difficulties that may be impacting an individual’s academic performance or everyday functioning. These include dyslexia (difficulties with reading, spelling, and phonological processing), dyscalculia (challenges in understanding numbers and mathematical reasoning), and dysgraphia (difficulties with handwriting and written expression). The comprehensive assessment process typically includes a combination of cognitive testing and academic achievement measures. By gaining a clear picture of the individual’s learning profile, we can provide tailored recommendations for educational strategies, reasonable adjustments in learning environments, and evidence-based intervention plans. These assessments are suitable for children, adolescents, and adults who are underachieving despite receiving appropriate instruction and support. Please note that Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) assessments is often part of the educational assessment. For more information, please click here.
A neuropsychological assessment offers an in-depth understanding of brain functioning by evaluating a wide range of cognitive domains, including attention, memory, language, problem-solving, visuospatial abilities, and executive functioning (such as planning, organising, and self-regulation). This type of assessment is particularly valuable for individuals with neurological concerns, such as acquired brain injuries (ABI), developmental conditions (e.g., ADHD or autism), stroke, epilepsy, or concerns about cognitive decline and dementia. The process involves a detailed clinical interview, review of medical and developmental history, and administration of standardised psychometric tests. Findings from the assessment support accurate diagnosis and inform recommendations for rehabilitation, educational or occupational planning, and practical supports to enhance day-to-day functioning.

Functional behaviour assessments aim to understand an individual’s emotional and behavioural responses within various settings, such as home, school, or the workplace. They are commonly used to investigate issues such as attention difficulties (e.g., ADHD), anxiety, depression, behavioural dysregulation, conduct issues, or mood-related disorders. The assessment process may include clinical interviews, behaviour rating scales, observational methods, and input from multiple informants. By identifying behavioural patterns, underlying psychological mechanisms, and environmental triggers, we are able to offer targeted recommendations to improve emotional wellbeing and behavioural outcomes. The findings are valuable for parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals seeking to implement effective behavioural support strategies.For more information, please click here.
Memory and dementia assessments are conducted to evaluate cognitive changes that may be affecting an individual’s memory, thinking skills, and ability to carry out everyday tasks. These assessments are essential for distinguishing between normal age-related cognitive changes and more serious concerns such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, or other neurodegenerative conditions. The process includes a clinical interview, medical and functional history, and standardised cognitive tests assessing areas such as memory, attention, language, and executive function. Early diagnosis is key to accessing treatment, support services, and making informed decisions about care and future planning. Results also help guide families in understanding how best to support their loved ones. For more information, please click here.
Personality assessments explore an individual’s characteristic ways of thinking, feeling, and interacting with others, which can significantly impact mental health and interpersonal functioning. These assessments are beneficial for individuals seeking clarity around longstanding emotional difficulties, relational challenges, or possible personality disorders. Using well-validated psychometric tools such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), or the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI), alongside structured clinical interviews, we provide a comprehensive picture of personality functioning. These insights help to inform treatment planning and support the development of effective therapeutic strategies for conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and more complex psychological presentations.

Medico-legal assessments are comprehensive psychological evaluations undertaken for legal purposes, including personal injury claims, workplace disputes, family law matters, and fitness-for-duty or capacity assessments. These assessments are conducted by experienced clinicians who provide independent, objective, and evidence-based opinions. The evaluation typically includes a thorough clinical interview, review of relevant documentation, and psychological testing. Reports are structured to meet legal standards and provide clear, defensible conclusions regarding psychological injury, functional impairment, prognosis, and causation. Our assessments are tailored to the requirements of courts, solicitors, insurers, and tribunals, and often play a key role in legal decision-making processes. For more information, please click here.
Forensic psychological assessments are conducted within legal, custodial, or correctional settings to assess risk, criminal responsibility, and the likelihood of reoffending. These specialised evaluations inform critical decisions related to bail, sentencing, parole, and risk management. Our forensic psychologists provide detailed reports with practical recommendations for supervision, rehabilitation, and safeguarding. These assessments are crucial for legal professionals, case managers, and correctional services aiming to balance public safety with individual rights. For more information, please click here.
持续治疗的收获

我们为墨尔本的客户提供个人、家庭、亲子关系，婚姻关系辅导。以下是我们提供的最常见的心理治疗：
认知行为疗法（CBT）是一种心理治疗方法，重点在于识别并改变引发情绪困扰的负面思维模式和行为。CBT的理论基础是：人的想法、情绪和行为是相互关联的，通过调整负面思维，可以改善情绪和行为反应。 这是一种结构化、以目标为导向的治疗方式，通常包括一些实用练习，帮助个体建立更健康的思维模式，应对压力，并提升解决问题的能力。CBT常用于治疗抑郁、焦虑及压力相关障碍等问题。 如需了解更多信息，请点击此处 here.
辩证行为疗法（DBT）是一种心理治疗方法，旨在帮助个体管理强烈情绪并改善人际关系。它结合了认知行为疗法（CBT）的原则，以及正念、接纳和辩证法（即平衡对立观点的理念）。 DBT着重教授四个关键技能领域： 正念（专注当下）、 痛苦容忍（应对情绪痛苦）、 情绪调节（管理和改变强烈情绪）、 人际效能（提升沟通与人际关系能力）。 DBT常用于治疗边缘型人格障碍（BPD）患者，同时也对抑郁、焦虑和自伤行为等其他心理问题具有良好效果。 如需了解更多信息，请点击此处 here.
眼动脱敏与再加工疗法（EMDR）是一种心理治疗方法，旨在帮助个体处理并从创伤性记忆中恢复。治疗过程中，个体在回忆令人痛苦的经历时，会进行引导性的眼动或其他形式的双侧刺激。这一过程有助于减轻记忆所带来的情绪困扰，并促使个体形成更适应性的思维和应对方式。 EMDR 尤其适用于治疗创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）及与创伤相关的心理问题，同时也可用于治疗焦虑、抑郁及其他情绪困扰。 如需了解更多信息，请点击此处 here.
图式疗法是一种心理治疗方法，旨在识别并改变根深蒂固的“图式”——即个体对自我、他人及世界的广泛而持续的信念和主题。这些图式通常在童年时期形成，影响着一个人的情绪反应、行为方式和人际关系。 图式疗法结合了认知行为疗法（CBT）、心理动力学治疗以及体验式技术，帮助个体识别并修正不适应的图式，发展更健康的应对机制，建立更有适应性的思维和行为方式。 图式疗法对长期存在的心理问题特别有效，例如人格障碍或慢性情绪困扰等。 如需了解更多信息，请点击此处 here.
心理动力学心理治疗是一种关注潜意识思想、情感和过往经历的治疗方法，旨在理解它们如何影响当前的行为和情绪。该疗法基于这样一种观点：早期生活中未解决的冲突，特别是童年时期的人际关系，会在成年后形成固有的思维和行为模式。 这种治疗方式通过帮助个体将潜意识中的模式带入意识层面，从而获得洞察力、处理未解的情绪，并建立更健康的应对方式。心理动力学治疗通常是一个长期、深入的过程，重点探索情感和人际关系问题，其目标是提升自我觉察与情绪调节能力。 如需了解更多信息，请点击此处 here.
暴露与反应预防疗法（ERP）是一种广泛应用于治疗强迫症（OCD）及某些焦虑障碍的有效疗法。它属于认知行为疗法（CBT）的一种形式，主要通过让个体接触引发焦虑或强迫性恐惧的想法、画面或情境，同时阻止他们采取原本用于缓解焦虑的强迫行为。 ERP的目标是打破“强迫观念—强迫行为”的循环，帮助个体逐渐意识到，即使不采取强迫行为，焦虑也会随着时间自然减轻。 如需了解更多信息，请点击此处 here.
伴侣治疗是一种心理治疗形式，旨在帮助伴侣之间解决冲突、改善沟通，并增强彼此的情感联系。治疗通常由一位专业治疗师引导，双方共同参与，通过讨论增进理解，并学习改善关系互动的策略。 如需了解更多信息，请点击此处 here.
Assessment Process
The process begins with an initial consultation between the clinician and the client or their guardian. This session is focused solely on gathering background information, understanding the current concerns, and clarifying the purpose of the referral.
Please note that no feedback or diagnostic conclusions will be provided at this stage.
It is extremely helpful if you can provide any relevant documentation (such as previous assessments, medical reports, or school information) either before or during this consultation.
The fee of the initial consultation range from $300 – $330 depending on the clinician that you consult with. Each clinician has their own rate. An outline of the clinician’s fee scale will be provided before the session.
Following the initial consultation, the client or guardian will have the option to proceed with the full assessment or decide not to continue. This allows time and space to consider the next steps without pressure.
The cost of the assessment typically ranges from $800 – $4400 depending on the clinician and assessments and whether a full report is required. You could discuss fees with reception prior to the initial consultation to obtain a quote for the type of assessment that you have requested. However, should you decide to proceed with a different type of assessment following the initial consultation, this quote may change and a quote will be offered before proceeding further.
If the client chooses to proceed, a formal assessment will be booked for a later date. This typically occurs in our Kew clinic and is tailored to the individual’s needs (some assessments can also be arranged via telehealth). The assessment may include:
- A clinical interview with the client and/or their parent/guardian or support person;
- Direct observation using standardised tools;
- Cognitive or developmental testing (as appropriate);
- Assessment of adaptive functioning (daily living skills and independence);
- Screening for emotional, behavioural, or psychological factors;
- Information gathering from teachers, therapists, or other relevant professionals (with consent).
The Assessment will take place over 1 or 2 sessions.
Assessment tools and methods are selected based on the client’s age, communication style, cultural background, and presenting concerns.
After the assessment, the clinician will analyse the data, review all gathered information, and prepare a comprehensive report. This phase typically takes 3 to 4 weeks.
The report, if requested, will include:
- A summary of assessment results and observations;
- Any diagnoses (if clinically appropriate);
- Tailored recommendations for supports and interventions;
- Suggestions for further services or funding pathways (e.g. NDIS, educational supports).
Once the report is finalised, a feedback session will be scheduled. During this session, the clinician will go through the results in plain language, answer any questions, and support you to understand the implications of the findings.
The report will then be provided to the client or guardian. Please note that while we approach every assessment with care and clinical integrity, we cannot guarantee that outcomes or diagnoses will align with specific expectations or external eligibility criteria.
The fees of the feedback consultation range from $240 – $330 depending on the clinician that you consult with. Each clinician has their own rate.
