Areas of specialty include:

Eating disorders, obesity and hypercholesterolaemia

In addition to the “obesity epidemic”, young people are increasingly experiencing weight loss during their growing years from restrictive dietary changes. These affect the capacity of the young person to grow and thrive and place increasing strain on families.

ADHD, learning, autism and behavioural difficulties

The Clinic provides standardised neuropsychological assessments using clinical and computer based technologies. Treatment strategies include non-medication approaches (neurofeedback and cognitive training) as well as medication support with both stimulant and nonstimulant medication.
