“To every child – I dream of a world where you can laugh, dance, sing, learn, live in peace and be happy” -Malala Yousafzai

Hello, my name is Karen Proctor. I have been a practicing Psychologist in Canberra for over 25 years, 10 of these in the Education sector working with children and young people.

I love working with kids. I provide assessment and diagnosis of Specific Learning Disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Developmental Delay, and Cognitive ability.

Child Based Assessment

  • Cognitive ability and Developmental Delay,
  • Specific Learning Disorders (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia),
  • Behaviour and Attentional difficulties (ADHD)

I provide a child friendly space that caters for the developmental needs of children.  I work flexibly with your child’s needs, at a pace that they are able to attend and concentrate, rather than to a fixed assessment time frame. I want the experience to be a positive one.

Most of all, I want to provide you with information and answers as to why your child is having learning and/or behavioural difficulties.  Via a comprehensive psycho-educational assessment, I want to discover how your child learns and processes information. With this information, I want to provide you with strategies to enhance your child’s strengths as well as learning new strategies to help your child achieve their best.

Developing Minds Psychology use best practice, evidence-based assessments tools.

Our aim is to assist your child to reach their potential through understanding their individual learning and developmental needs. A comprehensive assessment will highlight your child’s strengths, identify the learning challenges impacting your child and any behaviours that are causing concern. We will provide practical strategies applicable for all areas of their life, not just at school.
