Parenting a child who has a neurodivergent profile, such as ADHD or autism, is an experience that brings both challenges and rewards. While there are moments of joy and fulfilment, parents often carry a hidden burden. The fatigue, sense of isolation, and emotional labour associated with supporting their child’s unique needs are frequently overlooked, as these parents feel compelled to maintain an appearance of strength for the sake of their family.

At Newport Counselling & Psychology Service, we believe that accurate psychological assessment is the foundation of effective treatment and meaningful support. Our comprehensive assessments span autism, ADHD, cognitive functioning and learning disorders, drawing on gold-standard tools such as the ADOS-2, WISC-V, WAIS-IV and Conners 4. Each assessment is conducted with precision and care, offering not just a diagnosis but practical, actionable insights that make a real difference for our clients and their families.
