Our approach
Minding Family uses evidence-based interventions with demonstrated effectiveness for a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties. During sessions, typically lasting 50 minutes, the psychologist explores your background and presenting concerns, along with your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to identify individualised treatment goals and plan accordingly. The team is highly trained and committed to providing effective psychological services that work best when skills taught in sessions are applied and practised regularly in everyday life. Most sessions include 'homework' activities relating to session content, and progress is regularly reviewed through in-session discussion and questionnaires to monitor improvement and satisfaction with services.
Your first visit
During initial sessions, the psychologist will explore your background and presenting concerns, including your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, to help identify your individualised treatment goals and plan your treatment. For psychometric or diagnostic assessments, the process typically takes place over a number of sessions, beginning with a clinical developmental interview that asks about symptoms, medical and developmental history, educational background, and social functioning. Comprehensive cognitive and behavioural assessments follow, usually involving 2-hour sessions with tasks like answering questions or completing exercises. After scoring and interpreting the results, a comprehensive report is prepared and a feedback session is organised to discuss the results and recommendations with you.
