Understanding starts here

Dr Vanessa Petersen, Clinical Neuropsychologist

When your child struggles at school, at home, or in the community, understanding their unique neurotype can make all the difference.

Through comprehensive neuropsychological assessment, we uncover your child's thinking patterns, strengths, and challenges. Beyond diagnosis, I offer school advocacy and family support to create meaningful change.

Sound familiar?

These are the kinds of concerns families bring to me. If any of them resonate, an assessment can help.

"She has meltdowns at home but teachers say she's fine at school"
"Teachers say he's 'lazy' and 'won't listen', but I know there's more to it"
"She used to love school and now she doesn't want to go"
"He's so capable but struggles with organisation and time management"
"She is constantly falling out with her friends, and mornings are a daily battle"
"Will this affect her future career or university options?"
