Psychotherapy
At Helix Centre, psychotherapy is relational, responsive and tailored to each person's emotional and psychological needs. We draw on a range of therapeutic models including depth psychology, trauma informed care, systemic thinking and skills based approaches. This means therapy can be exploratory and insight oriented or more structured and practical, depending on what is most helpful for you at this time.
Sessions are collaborative, thoughtful and grounded in clinical integrity. We work to create a space where patterns can be understood, emotional experiences can be processed safely, and new ways of relating to yourself and others can emerge. Whether we are focusing on self understanding, stabilisation or navigating a specific life challenge, the process is always personalised and paced with care and integrity.

Adolescents
For many neurodivergent adults, daily life can feel overwhelming—managing work, relationships, and societal expectations in a world that often isn't designed with their needs in mind. The challenges of ADHD, autism, emotional dysregulation, or longstanding personality patterns can create obstacles that feel difficult to navigate alone. At Helix Centre, psychotherapy provides a structured yet flexible space to help you understand yourself, improve relationships, and develop effective strategies for managing life's complexities. Whether you need practical tools, deeper self-awareness, or emotional regulation support, therapy is tailored to your unique experiences and goals.
Adults
When a loved one is neurodivergent or facing mental health challenges, families and couples often need guidance, support, and practical strategies to navigate these complexities. At Helix Centre, we offer family and couples consultations focused on improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering emotional understanding. Through psychoeducation and tailored support, we help partners, parents, and caregivers build stronger, more supportive relationships that respect individual needs.

Assessment
At Helix Centre, we offer comprehensive psychological assessments to help individuals gain clarity on neurodivergence, learning differences, and emotional well-being. Our evaluations provide a deeper understanding of strengths, challenges, and cognitive profiles, ensuring accurate diagnosis and personalized recommendations.

Assessment Process
Understanding your cognitive and emotional profile is key to accessing the right support. At Helix Centre, we offer comprehensive ADHD, autism, and psychoeducational assessments designed to provide accurate diagnoses, practical recommendations, and clear next steps for children, adolescents, and adults.
Initial Consultation
The process begins with an initial consultation to understand your concerns, background, and what you hope to gain from the assessment. This session is typically conducted online and provides an opportunity to discuss symptoms, history, and goals for the evaluation.
Comprehensive Testing
Depending on the type of assessment, the client will complete standardized tests, clinical interviews, and behavioral questionnaires. These may be completed online. Testing evaluates cognitive functioning, executive functioning skills, emotional well-being, and neurodivergent traits. Parents, caregivers, or partners may also be asked to provide input where relevant.
Feedback Session
Approximately two to four weeks after testing, we hold a feedback session to go over the results, explain key findings, and discuss personalized recommendations. This session is designed to be clear, supportive, and practical, ensuring you understand your unique strengths and challenges.
Report
Following the feedback session, you will receive a detailed written report outlining all findings, diagnostic conclusions (if applicable), and tailored recommendations. This document can be used to access workplace accommodations, educational support, or further interventions.
