Our services

Children’s Health

Our paediatric practice provides a welcoming environment where we listen to you and your child and include families into the expert medical treatment of your children.

Child Development

We acknowledge that every child develops differently. We use an individual approach to identify strengths and difficulties and engage with a team to provide holistic care.

Psycho-Educational/ Behavioural Assessments

We offer behavioural assessments for children with challenging behaviour. We aim to understand the factors that drive behaviour and develop plans to lesson the impact.

We offer formal multi-D assessments for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Specific Learning Disorders (e.g. dyslexia) and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
