How Can I Help?
Unlocking a child’s full potential begins with understanding their unique academic, intellectual, and personal strengths. I specialise in providing holistic assessments that offer a complete picture of each individual’s abilities, challenges, and developmental needs.
Your child faces a wide range of emotional, behavioural and social challenges that can impact their academic performance and personal development.
I am a dedicated professional who brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the challenges executives face. I combine a personalised approach with proven strategies.
Parenting can be incredibly rewarding, but sometimes it sucks! Many parents find themselves struggling to manage behaviours, improve communication or maintain a healthy balance in family life.

I had the privilege of working with Ben McCarthy as my counselor, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Ben brings an exceptional level of professionalism, insight, and empathy to his sessions. His background in psychology, combined with his experience as a certified executive coach, means he understands both personal and academic challenges in depth.
