Psychological Treatment

Compassionate, Practical, and Evidence-Based Care
At Cognitive Assessments Australia, we provide psychological treatment for children, adolescents, and adults across Melbourne and Australia (via telehealth). Our aim is to help you improve mood, attention, relationships, and everyday functioning through warm,
evidence-based care. We use proven therapeutic approaches and work collaboratively with you to set clear goals, track progress, and support meaningful change.

Our Approach
Our treatment combines compassion with scientific evidence. Sessions are structured yet personally tailored to your individual needs, context, and goals.

We focus on:

Collaborative formulation: Understanding what maintains the problem and where to intervene.
Skills and strategies: Practical tools to improve thoughts, emotions, and daily habits.
Measurement and feedback: Regular check-ins to guide adjustments.
Neuro-affirming practice: Adapting sessions for ADHD, autism, and learning profiles.

We coordinate care with your GP, paediatrician, school, or support coordinator (with consent) to ensure consistency across all supports.

Conditions We Commonly Treat:

Anxiety (generalised, social, phobias, panic)
Low mood and depression
Stress, burnout, and perfectionism
Emotional dysregulation
Sleep and lifestyle concerns
ADHD and executive functioning challenges
Autism-related support and adaptations
Behavioural or school-based concerns
Adjustment difficulties, grief, and life transitions
Habit change and health psychology

Individual Therapy

Structured, goal-oriented sessions for children, adolescents, and adults. Our psychologists
draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
(ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)-informed strategies.

ADHD Coaching

Practical support to enhance attention, planning, motivation, and routines. Coaching includes task-breakdown, environmental adjustments, and accountability strategies.

Parent Sessions

Parent and carer coaching to strengthen emotional regulation, behaviour management, and school communication.

Telehealth

Secure video sessions available across Australia, providing the same quality of care as in- person appointments.
