The ACAP Clinic is a teaching clinic established in 2012 that offers a range of psychology, counselling and social work services to the community free of charge.
Reviews for this provider are limited and mixed, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions. Several reviewers describe staff as caring and helpful, and one parent completed four months of therapy sessions with a positive overall impression. However, one reviewer reported a slow, unhelpful experience with sensitive concerns and noted a lack of accountability — and it is worth flagging that some reviews appear to relate to an associated education institution rather than the therapy service itself, which limits how much can be reliably said about the clinical offering.
