ABOUT ME
Educational & Developmental Psychologist
Hi, I'm Samantha Povey (she/her), an Educational and Developmental Psychologist and Board Approved Supervisor. I’ve worked across schools and private practice, and I’m passionate about supporting children and their families with warmth, curiosity, and evidence-based care. At Blooming Psychology, I take a compassionate, trauma-informed and neuroaffirming approach, helping each child feel understood, supported, and able to grow in their own way.
Outside of work, I enjoy baking, yoga, walking my dog, Peppa, and spending time with my family.
OUR SERVICES
We provide comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments and therapeutic support for children and adolescents.
Cognitive Assessments
Our cognitive assessments explore how a child thinks, learns, and processes information. They provide insight into areas such as memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and processing speed. These assessments can help identify strengths, understand areas of difficulty, and guide strategies to support learning and development both at home and at school
Cost: $1,650
ADHD Assessments
Our ADHD assessments look at attention, focus, impulsivity, and regulation. Using a combination of clinical interviews, behaviour rating scales, and cognitive testing, we help identify whether ADHD traits are present and how they may be impacting learning and daily life
All assessments include a cognitive assessment as part of the process.
Cost: $1,980
Autism Assessments
Our autism assessments explore how a child experiences and engages with the world, helping to understand social communication, sensory needs, and behaviour. We use neuroaffirming practices to provide clarity, support, and recommendations tailored to each child
All assessments include a cognitive assessment as part of the process.

Educational Assessments
Our educational assessments explore a child’s learning profile, including strengths and difficulties in reading, writing, spelling, and mathematics. They help identify specific learning disorders (like dyslexia, dysgraphia or dyscalculia) and guide targeted supports to help your child succeed at school
