What families say

★ 4.5based on 14 Google reviews

The most consistent theme across reviews is that clinicians — particularly Jaymie, Georgia, Amy, and Sonja — are effective at building rapport with children, making assessments feel manageable even for kids who struggle in conventional settings. Parents frequently describe the process as professional and thorough, with reports noted as prompt, detailed, and practically useful; one teacher specifically commented that reports are easy to read and applicable in a classroom context. However, two reviewers had notably negative experiences: one described the assessment as inaccurate and inconclusive with poor follow-up communication, and another raised serious concerns about the service stopping mid-process, handling of their child's records, and an incident involving police — parents should weigh these accounts alongside the majority of positive feedback.

What Brainy helps with

Cognitive Assessments

A standardised assessment of thinking, learning and memory abilities administered by a psychologist. Results identify a person's cognitive profile, highlight strengths and areas of difficulty, and inform recommendations for school support, therapy and NDIS access.

Educational Assessments

Autism Assessments

A multi-disciplinary evaluation that determines whether a child or adult meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It usually involves observation, standardised assessments and parent or teacher interviews, resulting in a diagnostic report that opens access to therapy and NDIS supports.

Behaviour Assessments

Behavioural assessments to identify and address behaviour challenges.

Telehealth Counselling

A talking-based support that helps people work through emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, grief, stress or mental health concerns. A counsellor listens without judgement and helps you develop coping strategies and a clearer sense of direction.

Professional Supervision

Structured support for practitioners to reflect on their clinical work, receive expert guidance and maintain professional standards. Supervision is required for many Allied Health and mental health professionals and supports safe, high-quality care.
