Megan provides educational assessments (sometimes called psychoeducational assessments) for children and young people, focusing on inclusive school practices and leveraging interest- and strength-based learning. These assessments, also known as learning or diagnostic assessments, are designed to:

• Understand cognitive, academic, and developmental needs.
• Identify learning strengths and weaknesses.
• Determine factors impacting learning.
• Provide tailored recommendations and strategies for support.

The assessments can also diagnose conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Specific Learning Disorders (e.g., Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia), Intellectual Disability, and Giftedness.

Our educational assessments offer valuable insights into a child’s cognitive abilities, academic skills, and emotional functioning. They help uncover underlying issues affecting educational progress and overall well-being, and provide actionable recommendations to support their educational development.

Megan has worked in Private Practice for over a decade providing therapy for children, young people, adults and families. Megan’s optimism has been core to her therapy approach and she has been committed to providing evidence-based treatment from a range of therapy approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Positive Psychology.

These approaches encouraged people to consider how their thoughts are influencing how they are feeling and explores ways to help people shift their perspective to improve their mood. These treatment approaches also helped remind people to focus on what is important in life and act in line with these values despite having negative thoughts that might be getting in the way.

This includes, but is not limited to, complex trauma, eating disorders, self-harm and suicidality, substance use and personality disorders.
