What Secure helps with

Individual Therapy

One-on-one therapy tailored to an individual's specific goals and needs. Delivered by a qualified therapist, individual sessions provide a private, focused space to work through personal challenges at a pace that suits the person.

Psychological Assessments

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

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.

ADHD Assessments

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy for trauma and PTSD. Using bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), it helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer cause intense emotional reactions.

Relationship Counselling

Therapy for couples experiencing relationship difficulties, communication breakdowns or major life transitions. A therapist helps partners understand each other's perspectives, improve communication and work toward a healthier, more connected relationship.

Group Therapy

Therapy delivered to small groups of children or adults with similar goals, allowing participants to practise skills, build connections and learn from shared experiences. Groups are facilitated by a qualified therapist and can cover areas such as social skills, emotional regulation or anxiety management.

Telehealth Services

Therapy, assessment and consultation delivered remotely via video call, allowing families to access support from home without the need to travel. Telehealth sessions cover most services including psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy and counselling.
