What Streatfeild helps with

Psychological Counselling & Therapy

Cognitive Assessment

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 & Specific Learning Disorder Assessment

Assessment of academic functioning using the WIAT to identify learning strengths and weaknesses and diagnose specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessment

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 Assessment

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.

Intellectual Disability & Adaptive Behaviour Assessment

Assessment of intellectual disability and adaptive functioning.

Clinical & Medico-Legal Assessments

Assessments for diagnosis, reporting and recommendations including Disability Support Pension (DSP) assessments for Centrelink requirements.

Our approach

The clinic uses evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to each client's needs, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Schema Therapy, EMDR, Play Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapies. During a typical therapy session, you and your clinician meet for 50 minutes in a confidential space (face-to-face or via telehealth). In the first session, your clinician will review important paperwork and discuss your reasons for attending, asking questions about your background, family history, school or work experiences, and social life. Over the first one to three sessions, you'll discuss your main goals for therapy and develop a treatment plan. In following sessions, your clinician will use evidence-based therapies to address your main concerns and help you achieve your goals. Therapy is a collaborative space where strong emotions may arise as you process difficult experiences, but your clinician will work with you to regulate and understand these emotions over the course of treatment.

Working with families

The clinic involves families and carers as part of comprehensive assessment and support. During psychometric assessments for diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, and learning disorders, parents and teachers are asked to complete questionnaires and surveys to provide information about the child's functioning across different settings. For families with children who have specific behavioural needs, specialised parenting and carer sessions are offered to provide guidance, support, and evidence-based techniques to enhance family wellbeing. The clinic also provides parent-child work and family therapy as part of their intervention approaches. Additionally, the clinic mentions family history as part of the initial assessment process, recognising the importance of understanding the broader family context in treatment planning.

Your first visit

Your first appointment begins with your clinician reviewing important paperwork and discussing general housekeeping matters. This is your opportunity to discuss your reasons for attending therapy and share what has brought you in. Your clinician will ask questions to better understand your background, including family history, school or work experiences, and your social life. Together, you'll discuss your main goals for therapy and develop a treatment plan that will guide your following sessions. This initial process typically takes one to three sessions as your clinician gathers comprehensive information to understand your needs and tailor the therapeutic approach accordingly.
