What it can look like.
Learning difficulties affect how a child takes in, processes and uses information. They’re not a reflection of intelligence or potential. Dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia are some of the more common types.
- Trouble reading, spelling or understanding written text
- Difficulty with writing tasks or putting thoughts on paper
- Struggles with maths concepts or number skills
- Problems following multi-step instructions
- Avoiding schoolwork because of frustration
A learning difficulty doesn’t mean a child is lazy or unmotivated. Their brain processes information differently.
How we approach learning difficulties
Our psychologists use approaches grounded in evidence, and work with families and schools.
- 1
Understanding your child’s experience
Your psychologist starts with what’s going on for your child, including how they learn, where school feels hard and how they feel about it. You’ll talk about what brought you here and what you’d like to change.
- 2
Choosing an approach together
Your psychologist explains the options and why they might suit your child, then you agree on a plan together.
- 3
Reviewing the plan together
Along the way, your psychologist checks progress with you and your child, using measures chosen for your child and what they’re working on, and adjusts the plan if needed.
What support can include
- Assessment and identification Understanding your child’s learning profile and strengths.
- Learning strategies Practical, engaging ways to support reading, writing and maths.
- Executive function coaching Tools for organisation, memory and planning.
- Self-esteem support Looking at how learning struggles affect how your child sees themselves.
- Family coaching Practical tools to support learning at home.
- Working with schools Sharing strategies with teachers so they can be used in class.
Who you’ll see
A psychologist who fits.
You’ll see one of our 25+ psychologists, at Gledswood Hills, Kingswood or online. All our psychologists are registered with AHPRA.
Depth behind the person you see
Your child sees one psychologist. Behind them is a practice that invests in what they know: training through the year, supervision built in, and time set aside to keep up with the research.
Trained for the work in front of them
Our psychologists train through the year, and we train together when we take on a new approach.
Enough of us to match your child properly
With 25+ psychologists, we can put your child with someone who works with their age, what’s going on, and how they like to work.
Keeping up, on purpose
New research, new frameworks and new tools get tested against what we already do. What earns its place stays.
If something isn’t working.
Tell us, or tell your psychologist. Here’s what can happen next.
Ask for a different psychologist
We aim to get it right first time. If not, tell us and we’ll match you with someone else. No reason needed, and you won’t have to start over.
Talk it through with your psychologist
Your psychologist reviews the plan with you, and can talk your care through in supervision. All our psychologists work with regular supervision and shared clinical standards.
Wondering about medication?
If medication might be worth considering, we can write to your GP or paediatrician with what we’ve found, with your consent.

How does Unbound Minds support children with learning difficulties?
We work on core skills while also looking at the emotional impact of learning challenges. Our psychologists help children develop strategies for frustration and staying engaged in learning.
Do you work with parents and schools together?
Yes. Collaboration is central. We guide parents in supporting homework without stress and work with schools to recommend adjustments that make learning more accessible.
How do I know if my child’s struggles are a learning difficulty or just part of normal development?
Every child learns at their own pace, but persistent difficulties in reading, spelling, writing, or maths, especially when they are much harder than for peers, may indicate a learning difficulty. An assessment can help clarify strengths and challenges.
What should I do when homework becomes a daily battle?
Keep sessions short and focused, and avoid letting homework dominate family life. Use positive reinforcement for effort, not just accuracy. We provide parents with strategies to keep learning at home manageable and constructive.
How can I protect my child’s self-esteem if they’re struggling at school?
Celebrate strengths outside of academics, like creativity, sport or problem-solving. Remind your child that learning differently isn’t a failure. We work on self-esteem alongside skills.
