Biography
Hi, I'm Lee Herring, a psychologist and founder of Bloom Psychology.
I provide comprehensive ADHD and autism (ASD) assessments for children and adolescents in the Mackay region. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and evidence-based, with a focus on helping families gain a clearer understanding of their child's strengths, challenges, and support needs.
I understand that seeking an assessment for your child can sometimes feel overwhelming or uncertain. My aim is to make the process feel calm, supportive, and easy to navigate, while ensuring assessments are thorough, meaningful and tailored to each individual child.
Assessments may include developmental history, standardised questionnaires, cognitive assessment and autism specific assessment tools depending on the child's needs and referral questions. I also value collaboration with parents, caregivers, schools and other professionals to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the child across settings.
Alongside diagnostic clarification where appropriate, I aim to provide practical recommendations that support children both at home and within the school environment.
I have experience working with children, adolescents and families across a range of developmental, behavioural and emotional presentations, and I am passionate about supporting young people in ways that recognise both their differences and strengths.
I look forward to supporting you through the assessment process.
