Private support for children and young people aged 6+
When you’re worried about your child, it can be difficult to know where to start.
You may be looking for answers, exploring whether an assessment could help, or seeking support for challenges affecting their wellbeing. Whatever brings you here, you don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
At Melios, we provide specialist online support for children and young people aged 6+, including ADHD and autism assessments, mental health services, post-assessment support, Core Needs Assessments and ADHD medication support.
Whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or would simply like to talk through your concerns, we’re here to help. Our free consultation gives you the space to talk things through and find out what might be right for your child.
Not sure where to start?
Many families come to us feeling unsure about what support their child needs.
You may have questions about your child’s attention, emotions, behaviour, communication, relationships, sensory experiences, learning or overall wellbeing. Sometimes the next step feels obvious. Sometimes it doesn’t.
A free consultation gives you the opportunity to talk through what you’re noticing, ask questions and explore the options available, helping you feel clearer and more confident about what comes next.
Understanding your child, not changing who they are
Seeking support is not about finding something “wrong” with your child.
It is about understanding how they experience the world, where things feel harder, where their strengths are and what support could help them at home, school and in everyday life.
Whether you’re exploring an assessment, looking for mental health support or seeking guidance after a diagnosis or assessment, our aim is to help your family move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Finding the right support for your child
Every child is different, and the right help will look different too.
Whether you’re looking for an ADHD or autism assessment, mental health support, guidance after an assessment outcome, ADHD medication support or a broader understanding of your child’s needs, we’re here to help you explore the options available.
If you’re unsure where to start, a free consultation can help you talk things through and identify the most appropriate next step for your child.
ADHD assessments for children
If you’ve been wondering why certain things feel harder for your child than they seem to for others, an ADHD assessment can help bring clarity and understanding.
ADHD doesn’t always look the way people expect. Some children are visibly active or impulsive, while others may seem quiet, distracted, anxious or overwhelmed.
Our experienced clinicians take the time to build a full picture of your child across home, school and everyday life, helping families better understand their child’s strengths, challenges and support needs.
Autism assessments for children
If your child seems to experience the world differently in ways that are sometimes hard to put into words, an autism assessment can help bring greater understanding of what’s going on beneath the surface and what support could help them thrive.
Autism doesn’t always look the way people expect. Some children appear to cope well in one setting while feeling exhausted or overwhelmed in another, and many learn to mask their experiences.
Our experienced clinicians take the time to understand your child’s strengths, differences and support needs across home, school and everyday life, building a picture that is thoughtful, personalised and genuinely useful.
Core needs assessments for children
Sometimes concerns don’t fit neatly into a single category or assessment pathway.
Our core needs assessment provides a broader understanding of your child’s strengths, needs and experiences, helping identify the most appropriate support and next steps when further exploration is needed.
Mental health support for children
Children and young people can experience a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges, from anxiety and low mood to difficulties managing emotions and everyday pressures.
Our specialist clinicians provide evidence-based support tailored to your child’s needs, helping them build confidence, resilience and coping strategies.
Post assessment support for children
An assessment can provide valuable answers, but families often need support understanding what those answers mean in practice.
Our post-assessment support helps children, young people and families build understanding, develop practical strategies and feel more confident about the future.
ADHD medication support for children
For children and young people with ADHD, medication may form part of a wider support plan.
Our ADHD medication support service includes specialist guidance, titration and ongoing monitoring, helping families access safe, personalised care from experienced clinicians.
How online appointments work
Melios services are delivered online through a secure digital platform.
Many children and young people feel more comfortable joining from home, with familiar items nearby and a parent or carer close by where appropriate.
We can help by explaining what will happen, using child-friendly language, allowing breaks where needed and discussing practical adjustments in advance.
