CLINIC DETAILS

Initial & Diagnostic Assessments

Initial and diagnostic assessments are approximately 1.5 - 2 hours in duration. They involve interviews with the child, adolescent or adult, and his/her family or partner (if possible). Copies of previous reports from health professionals, teachers or school counsellors should be provided prior to the appointment. A detailed assessment is conducted (including standardised questionnaires) in order to gain a thorough understanding and develop the best treatment plan.

Therapy Sessions

Therapy sessions are generally 50 minutes (or longer if required) and scheduled once per week, fortnight or month as appropriate. Longer or more frequent sessions may be scheduled to meet client's individual treatment needs (e.g. for crisis management or for clients travelling long distances).
