Child Psychology

Unfortunately, just like adults, children can also experience mental health challenges. Our caring clinicians have experience working with children and can offer the support they need.

We use a variety of engaging strategies to make therapy sessions beneficial and comfortable for children of all ages.

Child Assessments and Testing

Psychological assessments allow diagnostic clarity, which we can guide our formulation of evidence-based treatment approaches.

Some assessments can help us track how the treatment is progressing and whether an adjustment to our treatment is required for your child.

  • These assessments identify a range of childhood psychological disorders through testing conducted by psychologists.

    We have a range of tools that can help us achieve diagnostic clarity in order to properly help your child.

  • These assessments identify the child’s neurocognitive functioning and learning issues (e.g. Intellectual disability, dyslexia) through testing conducted by psychologists.

    We have a range of tools that can help us achieve diagnostic clarity in order to properly help your child.

  • These assessments assist in diagnosing and managing ADHD and other attentional difficulties.

    We can also work with the paediatrician in ascertaining the appropriate dosage of stimulant medications.

  • These assessments help parents who care for children diagnosed with developmental disorders by pinpointing existing strengths and weaknesses in adaptive functioning.

    These disorders are associated with behaviour or misconduct that is inappropriate for that age range. These include Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD).

    ODD children commonly display hostile behaviour, typically behave negatively towards authority figures and lose their temper easily.

    Children with CD typically engage in rule-breaking behaviour, and deceit and show a lack of respect towards others.

  • Children suffering from emotional disorders or trauma tend to be worried, agitated, depressed and chronically fatigued.

    Let Voxus Psychology support your child and help you better understand them through diagnostic and clinical testing to ensure the most appropriate and effective strategies are implemented.
