Psychologist In Shepparton For Therapy & Assessments
By the time you look for a psychologist, you may have spent a long time trying to make sense of what’s changed. You’ve noticed the pattern, asked questions and perhaps tried a few things already. Carrying that uncertainty through an ordinary day can be draining.
At #Thoughts, registered psychologist and teacher Collette Caffrey offers therapy and assessments for children, adolescents and adults. When learning or development is part of the concern, Collette draws on experience in education to explore what’s happening across home and school. Appointments are available in Shepparton and on Saturdays in Belmont, Geelong, where assessments are prioritised.
Psychology Services & Assessments
Therapy & Counselling
When anxiety affects sleep or work, grief changes your daily routine, or memories of a difficult experience keep intruding, we’ll start with how it’s affecting you. Collette also works with depression and obsessive-compulsive difficulties. EMDR may be considered where appropriate.
Psychological & Neurodevelopmental Assessments
An assessment may help clarify questions about learning, attention, development or everyday functioning. Collette offers cognitive, educational, autism, ADHD and functional capacity assessments. These assessments are available to children, adolescents and adults, and the intake helps identify an appropriate plan for the question you bring. Afterwards, we arrange a feedback appointment and provide a written report with practical recommendations.
Child & Adolescent Psychology
Changes in mood, school attendance or friendships can be hard to make sense of from home alone. Collette works with young people and involves parents or caregivers in ways that suit their age and circumstances.
