How Our Appointments Work!
We Get To Know You
Our journey begins with a conversation. As trusted psychologists, we're here to listen to your child's story and understand the challenges being experienced in academic and personal growth. Together, we uncover your child's unique strengths, identify areas for improvement, and define meaningful goals for the future.
Assessment
Our assessments are designed to quickly identify the root causes of challenges and provide actionable insights. Using a combination of questions, puzzles, and activities, we gather information about the way your child views school and family life and delve into self-perception. With your permission, we may also review school reports and gather feedback from teachers to create a holistic understanding of your child's strengths and needs.
We Provide A Roadmap To Success
We collaborate with you to discuss our findings, celebrate your child's strengths, and highlight opportunities for growth. With personalised recommendations, we equip you and your child with tools and strategies to overcome challenges and enable your child to thrive academically, emotionally, and personally.

Michael is professional but upbeat and approachable - the perfect combination for creating a connection with both us and our son. He was the ideal person to go to when our son needed some extra help to build his confidence, work on life and social skills and have some dedicated, professional coaching and counselling. Our son matured so much over the approx 12 months that Michael saw him and we believe that Michael had a big part to play in that positive development.

Mike was great, easy for our child to talk to, open up to and to and build a relationship with. He also kept me as a parent included and updated before and after sessions. Would recommend him.
