Our Approach

More Than a Checklist—A Complete Understanding

We don’t just assess symptoms—we listen to your child’s story. Our team explores developmental history, attachment patterns, emotional regulation, and sensory needs to understand the whole picture.

We listen to your child's story

We don’t just assess symptoms. We explore developmental history, attachment patterns, emotional regulation, and sensory needs to understand the whole picture.

Multidisciplinary perspective

Our team brings together psychiatry, psychology, and family therapy to provide integrated, holistic assessments.

Attachment-informed

Grounded in the evidence-based PACE framework and current research, we consider your child in context—not just checklists.

Is This Your Child?

Are You Wondering If Your Child Has ADHD or Autism?

You might be noticing some of these signs and wondering what they mean. You’re not alone—and seeking clarity is a strong first step.

At this stage, most parents aren’t looking for more guesswork—they’re looking for clarity.

Difficulty focusing, listening, or following through on tasks

Impulsivity, acting without thinking, or difficulty waiting

Ongoing struggles at school despite support

Emotional outbursts, meltdowns, or shutdowns

Repetitive behaviours, rigid routines, or sensory sensitivities

Social difficulties or challenges with peer relationships

Feedback from teachers about attention, behaviour, or social skills

Alberto has such a wonderful, caring team who are super supportive and knowledgeable around neurodivergence. Our family has been with Relational Minds for years and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Special thanks to Lani Kent who has always gone above and beyond and made navigating the system so much easier. She’s a superstar! Also a shout out to William and Israel for their past and ongoing care and support.

I can not recommend Lani and the team at Relational Minds enough. I have worked in social services for over twenty years and I have never seen a mental health assessment and reports done as perfectly as those provided by Lani and the team at Relational Minds. The team at this service performed a multimodal assessment on a young man whose existing care team had neglected to see the need for a full and proper ASD assessment. Not only did the highly skilled staff at relational minds complete an incredibly thorough assessment, they diagnosed Autism to a significant degree. This diagnosis was explained to all in the care team in two beautifully written reports that explained the testing and the results in a manner that was easily accessible to everyone who read it. If you want top quality mental health assessments and services, PLEASE work with Relational Minds. They're magnificent!

Our family were without support for a long time; yes it takes a while to find the right team. As parents we have tried many things and was desperately seeking help. Dr Alberto and his team of professional staff are always invested in the wellbeing of the child and the whole family in a holistic view. Our son has been slowly engaging with all therapists. We are so appreciative with all that you are doing. Email Email Email if you need to get through or change appointments, pretty much anything you must do this! The ladies are very helpful and work extremely hard. They are the for front of the business. Don’t give up on this service. The clinic is clean bright and very welcoming. Great job everyone!!!!
