Psychoeducational Assessments

Psychoeducational assessments for children and adolescents are valuable tools used to gain a comprehensive understanding of a young persons cognitive abilities, academic skills, and socio-emotional functioning. These assessments involve a series of tests and observations, and interviews to gather information about a child or young persons strengths, weaknesses, and areas of need. The assessment process typically begins with an initial consultation with a young persons parents or guardians. This allows; gathering of background information, discussing any concerns, and understanding the specific goals for the assessment. Sally administers a variety of standardised tests, which may include cognitive assessments (i.e., IQ tests), academic achievement tests, and behavioural or social emotional assessments. These tests are selected based on the young persons age, needs, and purpose of the assessment. Sally will provide feedback to the parents of guardians, discuss the assessment results, providing a comprehensive written report explaining implications and offering recommendations.

Psychoeducational assessments provide valuable insights into a child or young persons overall functioning and help guide appropriate interventions and support.

Sandplay Therapy

Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey of psychological growth and healing for you or a loved one? Sandplay Therapy is an innovative approach with over 75 years of theoretical, clinical, and practical application with children, adolescents, and adults. In sandplay, you create a three-dimensional world in a tray of sand using figurines and objects.

Dive deep into the layers of your mind, creating landscapes that mirror your innermost thoughts, emotions, and dreams. The sand becomes a canvas where you can sculpt, mould, rearrange your feelings, all the while unravelling the mysteries of your psyche.

Sandplay is a sacred process that allows you to explore your unconscious in a safe environment, free from judgment or limitation. Every grain of sand you move carries significance, representing aspects of your life that are yearning to be seen, understood, and healed. Through this profound therapy, you can gain clarity, release emotional burdens, and ignite a sense of empowerment.

Whether you’re seeking solace from anxiety, trauma, or simply looking to enhance you or your childs own personal growth, Sandplay Therapy offers a transformative space for self-reflection and healing. It’s a powerful tool that encourages you to reconnect with your inner child, fostering a sense of wonder and playfulness that can rejuvenate your spirit
