Our Services
Professional psychological services tailored to your unique needs.

Services are available in-person or some via telehealth, supporting emotional wellbeing, clarity, and meaningful change.
Neuropsychological Consultation and Assessments
A neuropsychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that explores how a person’s brain is functioning. It looks at areas such as memory, attention, problem-solving, language, learning, and emotional regulation. These assessments can help identify strengths and difficulties, clarify diagnoses, guide treatment, and inform support needs at home, school, or work. People may be referred for a neuropsychological assessment for many reasons, such as learning difficulties, attention or memory problems, changes after an injury or illness, or concerns about behaviour or emotional wellbeing.
Alice’s approach is warm, thorough, and person-centred. She takes the time to listen, understand each individual’s unique background, and explain results in a clear and meaningful way.
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Assessments
An Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that explores an individual’s behaviours to determine whether they meet criteria for ADHD. The process typically involves a detailed clinical interview to gather information about the person’s developmental history, current concerns, and how these symptoms impact daily life. Standardised questionnaires are used to collect information from the individual and people close to them, as well as clinical observations. The aim is to build a clear and accurate picture of how the person functions across different settings, rule out other potential causes for the difficulties, and determine whether a diagnosis of ADHD is appropriate.
Autism (ASD) Assessments
An Autism assessment explores how someone communicates, connects with others, and experiences the world. It looks at things like social understanding, sensory sensitivities, and patterns of behaviour, often starting from early childhood. The psychologist gathers information from you and a key person who knows you well (such as a parent or partner) to build a full picture. This helps determine if the traits align with Autism and whether a diagnosis is appropriate.
IQ Assessments - face to face or online
An IQ (intelligence quotient) assessment helps to understand how a person thinks, learns, and solves problems compared to others their age. It looks at different areas of thinking, such as verbal skills, working memory, visual reasoning, and processing speed.
These assessments can be useful for a variety of reasons, such as identifying intellectual strengths and difficulties, exploring learning needs, or supporting diagnoses like intellectual disability. They’re often used to help guide support at school, work, or in everyday life.
IQ testing is tailored to the person’s age and ability level and is completed in a safe, supportive environment.
Decision-Making Capacity Assessments
A decision-making capacity assessment helps to understand whether a person is able to make informed decisions about important areas of their life — such as where they live, how they manage money, or what medical treatment they agree to.
These assessments look at a person’s ability to understand information, weigh up options, remember relevant details, and communicate a choice. They are especially helpful when someone has a medical, cognitive, or mental health condition that may be affecting their thinking or judgment.
The goal is to support the person’s rights and autonomy as much as possible, while also ensuring their safety and wellbeing. Capacity assessments are often requested when there are concerns about someone’s ability to make safe and informed decisions.
NDIS Psychological Functional Capacity Assessments
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) provides a detailed picture of how a person is managing in their day-to-day life. It looks at areas such as communication, learning, self-care, social skills, and managing tasks at home or in the community.
For people applying to the NDIS or updating their plan, this type of assessment can help show what support is needed and why. It’s often used to demonstrate how a disability impacts everyday functioning and to guide funding for supports like therapy, assistive technology, or help with daily activities.
Each assessment is tailored to the person’s unique strengths and challenges and includes input from family, support workers, or other professionals where appropriate.
