A one-off parent consultation to help you understand your child’s needs and find a way forward.

Sometimes, as parents, you know your child needs a little extra support, but figuring out where to start can feel overwhelming. Perhaps you’ve noticed differences in your child’s learning, behaviour, emotions or development. Maybe an educator or health professional has raised some concerns, or you’re wondering whether a previous diagnosis still reflects your child’s needs.

You might be considering therapy, exploring an assessment, or simply wanting to better understand what you’re noticing. You don’t need to have all the answers, or even know exactly what you’re looking for. Hannah offers a one-off, 60-minute parent consultation to provide a space to talk through your concerns, explore your options and help you feel more confident about what to do next.

Who might benefit from this consultation?

This session might be helpful if:

• You’ve noticed differences in your child’s development, learning, behaviour or emotional wellbeing and aren’t sure what they mean.

• You’re wondering whether your child would benefit from therapy, a formal assessment, or another type of support.

• You’ve received feedback from your child’s school, childcare or other professionals and aren’t sure what to do next.

• Your child already has a diagnosis, but their needs have changed, new concerns have emerged, or you’re wondering whether further assessment might be helpful.

• You’re unsure whether what you’re noticing is part of typical childhood development or something that might benefit from additional support.

• You’re feeling overwhelmed by the different pathways, professionals and services available, and would appreciate some guidance.

• You simply want an opportunity to talk things through with an experienced clinical psychologist before deciding on your next step.

What happens during the consultation?

During your 60-minute session, Hannah will take the time to:

• Listen and understand: Talk through your concerns, your child’s strengths, developmental history and any feedback you’ve received from educators or other professionals.

• Explore your options: Discuss whether therapeutic support, further assessment, school-based adjustments or other services might be helpful.

• Help you find a way forward: Provide practical recommendations and suggested next steps tailored to your child’s individual circumstances.

• The aim is for you to leave feeling heard, more informed and clearer about your options, without the pressure of committing to ongoing therapy or a comprehensive assessment.

• Consultations can be delivered online via telehealth, via phone, at your child’s school/kindy/ELC (with permission) or at another mutually agreed location
