Psychological Assessment & Therapy

Assessment for Children & Teens

Tailored assessments for children and teens who may be experiencing difficulties socially, academically, or emotionally. Understanding your child’s strengths and difficulties through a comprehensive and evidence-backed assessment can provide valuable information to support their learning and emotional wellbeing.

I am currently offering assessments for intellectual disability, specific learning disorders (e.g. dyslexia), giftedness, ADHD, ODD, anxiety and other mood disorders, and other cognitive functioning concerns. I will be offering assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder in the coming months.

Please contact me using the form below to enquire about assessments.

Therapy for people 7+ years of age, personalised to your unique needs and delivered with respect and compassion. Therapy is available for clients experiencing problems with low mood, anxiety, stress and adjustment related disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and perinatal mental health concerns (e.g. postnatal depression).

My approach draws on the core principles of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Committment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based interventions that are appropriate for the client and their needs.

About Monique

As a psychologist I enjoy working with clients in a collaborative and tailored way that acknowledges a person’s strengths, respects their unique context, and builds their self-belief. Meaningful change ultimately comes from within, but sometimes it needs some help along the way.

I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, and to receive compassionate care. I welcome clients from all walks of life.

How Can I Help?

  • Anxiety is a normal part of the human experience, but it can become problematic when it starts to interfere with living a full life. Develop an greater understanding of anxiety and how it impacts you in your unique context. Gain skills to manage your anxiety and get more enjoyment from life.

  • Problems with mood can impact how we function in our daily lives, disrupt our relationships with others, and deplete our emotional reserves. Addressing these concerns involves gaining a clear understanding of the nature and context of symptoms, and working together to apply evidence-based interventions to improve and stabilise mood.

  • The path to starting or growing a family brings significant change and often comes with many unknowns. Fertility concerns, pregnancy loss, challenges during pregnancy and birth, and adjustment to parenthood can impact us in so many ways. Mental health concerns and conditions during this phase of life require compassion, understanding, and knowledge to assist you through what can be a very difficult time for mothers, partners, and families as a whole.

  • Life can present us with serious adverse events that can have a significant impact on our daily functioning, our mood, and our relationships. Sometimes a short course of treatment can help get through a challenging period or cope with a stressor. These events might be the loss of a job, a relationship breakdown, illness, or an unexpected change. Other events impact us more deeply and may need specialised treatment.

  • Sometimes we just need to talk. It can be helpful to work through thoughts and feelings to find a way forward. Supportive counselling provides an opportunity to explore these in a therpeutic setting, building on your strengths and addressing your unique needs.

  • Problems that arise at work can have a significant impact on mental health and wellbeing. When these problems start to interfere with the ability to engage in work, family, and social life, supports are available to help you stay in or return to work. I can help clients addres psychological barriers and find a path to full engagement in meaningful work.
