Psychologists work with medical specialists and allied health professionals to provide support for adults and children of all ages. Psychologists use evidence-based individualised psychological approaches to assess, diagnose and treat a wide range of clients and concerns.
Adults and children see psychologists for various reasons. Some of the areas that a psychologist can provide support include:
- Anxiety
- School Refusal
- Depression and Mood Disorders
- Grief and Loss
- Trauma
- Chronic Health Concerns
- Social Skills Training
Psychologists can also conduct assessments for various needs such as developmental assessments, including assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Learning Disorders, and Intellectual Disabilities. Psychologists can also conduct IQ tests, achievement and other psychometric tests.
