Services

Families and couples face many challenges. Magnolia House Psychology and Therapies Centre is highly experienced in supporting couples and families through relationship stress, changes, transitions, and the trials and tribulations of staying together or working together in this society.

Magnolia House Psychology and Therapies Centre can offer support in a wide range of difficulties and work with many organisations and Employee Assistance Programs.  Some of these difficulties may be workplace stress or conflict, life difficulties, or any of the individual needs previously mentioned. 

We also offer support for you if you are currently supported by Workcover and require support to return to work or transition to something different.

Our therapists are qualified to offer therapy and assessments to individuals under NDIS funding. This support may be individual psychological therapy, parent training and support for early intervention, support worker training in managing the needs and emotions of their participant, as well as functional and cognitive assessments for NDIS access or reviews. 

These approaches are always informed by the most current and researched methods of therapy and assessment and are always tailored to the needs of the individual. 

Magnolia House Psychology and Therapies Centre can offer assessments in a wide range of areas, such as Cognitive assessments, functional assessments, learning difficulties, or Gifted assessments, as well as psychological functioning assessments. 

Some of the tools will include the WISC V, Woodcock-Johnson IV, and WAIS IV, as well as non-verbal cognitive assessment tools. The results are then compiled into a comprehensive report, including recommendations for further support and intervention if required.

What can I expect in an Assessment?

In a cognitive, functioning, or learning assessment, we use only the gold standard, validated and standardised tests, recognised world-wide.

To begin with, we will arrange a time with you to discuss your concerns or queries, which is the aim of the assessment. This will help us decide which tools will be best utilised for your particular situation.

This will then lead to the assessment session, or sessions if need be, depending on how much assessment we need to do to have your questions answered.

The assessment sessions usually involve doing activities and answering questions in the standardised tests, as well as the Psychologist making clinical observations and analysis, which are then combined to inform the assessment results. Depending on the assessment, sometimes the Psychologist will also gather information from other sources, such as schools, carers, other family members, etc. (with your consent).

You will then be provided with a full report of the findings, as well as recommendations if required.

The Psychologist will meet with you to discuss the results of the report and make any necessary plans for implementing the recommendations or strategies that may help. If you request it, the Psychologist can also talk to your school, university, or workplace about implementing any recommendations.
