Our psychologist is expert in the diagnosis and management of children with emotional and behavioral problems.

Therapy can involve an individual child or their family.

Psychotherapy can play a key role when emotional and behavioral issues start to become excessive, don’t go away, prevent your child from participating in everyday activities, and affect their social and learning opportunities and their relationships with others. 

Who do we help?

Our psychologists are experts at diagnosing and helping children with learning and behavioral problems as well as mental health conditions.

We see children who have developed behavioral difficulties at school or at home. They might become anxious for no apparent reason or feel sad and depressed. Often these problems are the result of emotional distress that can be hard to recognize and talk about.

We help children with:

- Assessment of Autism
- Intellectual disabilities
- ADHD
- Social Maturity test
- Developmental screening test
- Specific learning difficulties

A comprehensive evaluation by a professional in child development and behavior can be beneficial in understanding the specific developmental delays and in guiding parents to approach appropriate interventions required for the child.

What do we do?

Our team provides extensive evaluation and treatment for children and adolescents (and their families) who are facing challenges with their adjustment to a medical condition or its clinical management.

We aim to build self-esteem, improve communication, stimulate development, provide emotional support and improve emotional vocabulary with your child.

We:

- use fun activities such as games, drawing, pretend and unstructured play to share feelings and resolve problems, as children can’t always translate their feelings into words.
- Work with families, parents and educators to resolve conflicts and set goals.
- Provide advice to parents and teachers about how to best manage negative behaviors and their triggers.
- Apply different assessments tools to diagnose autism spectrum disorders.
- Perform assessments to make a diagnosis of an intellectual disability or specific learning disorder.
- If you are concerned about your child’s mental health, you may wish to seek the advice and support of a psychologist. Make an appointment with the KidsCare hospital today by calling 08349154500.
