Amazing

I’ve had two of my Daughters (age 14 + 10) assessed with Caroline over the laser few years and what a great experience she mad it, My oldest daughter said she has never felt more understood by anyone. The ongoing support and information Caroline provided was amazing, My daughters are now receiving the right support from the right people and through school thanks to Caroline’s intervention.

So Grateful, Thank you.

My 18 year daughter, although extremely capable, often suffers anxiety. She reports to feeling different and many times stated she thought she had Autism. Found Caroline through the internet. It was the best money we ever spent . As well as being assessed, it was the best counselling session possible as Caroline knew so much. I could see the struggle fall off my daughter’s shoulders as she finally started to understand herself. The overall experience was very positive and I believe we have gained the tools to move forward. Thank you .

Very happy

Went to Caroline with my daughter and I cannot praise her enough she put us at ease straight away as it is daunting with these assessments. The assessment was very thorough and Caroline had a very good knowledge of what we were experiencing in our lives. It was a relief to finally have the answers to the issues we were experiencing from a very young age and my daughter can now get the supports she needs to get through the rest of her school years. Caroline is very professional and gave us feedback by email the next day with details of our diagnosis and what supports etc we can now get. The full report will be complete within a month. Very happy with the whole experience and happy to have found this clinic

Make that appointment

We meet with Caroline and we're immediately put at ease by her calm and professional demeanor. Even though she was doing an assessment she took time to listen to anecdotes and add in some of her own, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her and hope that she gets all the business she needs.

Autism Diagnosis

I was extremely nervous prior to my ASD assessment but it couldn't have gone any smoother. It was easy to talk about my symptoms and the relief of finally getting a diagnosis was incredible. I highly recommend Caroline - extremely quick to set up an appointment and the option to do a video call was great for me.

Highly recommended!

My teen daughter was anxious about attending an assessment for ASD but from the moment we arrived Caroline put her at ease. Caroline's manner during the appointment was highly professional and at the same time very gentle and encouraging. Which made a huge difference to my daughter's experience of her assessment. We were greeted with understanding and a vast amount of knowledge in the areas discussed. We very much value the time and effort spent. We didn't feel rushed or pressured and Caroline listened carefully. Watching my child feeling reasured and proud of her diagnosis was such a relief. Caroline shaped her thinking in a way that was incredibly positive and I very much appreciated the encouraging advice given. We can't recommend Caroline at the Resiliance Clinic enough. Thank you kindly. Grace and Ava.

Aspergers/ADHD diagnosis

I'm really glad I decided to get my diagnosis of Aspergers syndrome made official, and it was a very thorough assessment well worth it. We finished up and I felt like I went over every symptom and difficulty I was experiencing and how it has held me back in life. My psychologist was a lovely lady to talk to and I felt more relaxed having the consultation via what's app as I was in my own home and I didn't feel like there were other people waiting.

I cannot speak highly enough regarding the service we received from Caroline. She helped put my daughter at ease straight away & was very observant during the assessment. I am so grateful to Caroline as she has put on the right road with helping our daughter.

Assessment for diagnosis.

We were in with Caroline on short notice as we luckily got a cancellation appointment. Walking in the door as a parent I was nervous and did not know what yo expect. Caroline was a breath of fresh air and put us at ease immediately. She asked questions read what I brought me. While all this was going in she spoke with my son and observed him. Her interactions with him were beautiful to watch. She was kind and caring and most of all reassuring. The knowledge this woman has is absolutely incredible. Would 100 percent recommend Caroline to anyone.

Amazing, comforting and relieving diagnosis process with IRC

Going for an autism assessment was something that I had wanted to do for a long time, but I feared I was being dramatic over nothing at all. After finding the IRC and their fantastic prices compared to other assessments, I decided to go ahead with it. I was extremely nervous, but I was put to ease and felt so understood throughout the entire assessment, which only took an hour, and I was given my diagnosis on the same phone call, no waiting around. The relief I felt at finally being made feel comfortable about my experience and given a diagnosis was immense. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about coming here, thank you IRC! :)

The assessment was very thorough and it felt great to talk to someone that actually gets it.

Caroline made the journey very efficient and accessible. Firstly, very kind over the phone and didn't have a long waiting list like other clinics. The clinic is also in a quieter area in the city centre which made it easy to get to. The assessment was very thorough and it felt great to talk to someone that gets it. Would recommend. ❤️

Very professional

Highly recommend Caroline. Wish we had of met sooner, very understanding and easy to speak to, understanding of our concerns. And an overall fast enough process my son has just got his school place and that is down to her. Very professional, won't find anywhere else to beat carolines prices either.

Upon contracting her, she was extremely responsive and got back to me the same day

I was really grateful to receive a recommendation for Caroline, regarding a diagnosis of Autism and ADHD for myself. Upon contracting her, she was extremely responsive and got back to me the same day. During the assessment process I felt seen and understood and Caroline’s gentle, conversational approach didn’t feel like I was being assessed at all. Following on from receiving the diagnosis, Caroline was very positive and helped me to see all I have achieved and gotten through so far and to highlight the benefits of my neurotype. I was also pleased that she was charging a much more reasonable price for an assessment than many other places, and was able to see me sooner too.

She has been a fountain of knowledge and provided amazing advice and guidance

Have been to see Caroline for the second time now with our two children. She has been a fountain of knowledge and provided amazing advice and guidance to help our two children. I would highly recommend Caroline for private assessment and so happy she was recommend to us by another person.

We felt really relaxed from the time we walked in

I couldn't be happier with our assessment from Caroline Goldsmith. For six years we have been fighting for my son and Caroline was absolutely amazing. Such a lovely earth person. We felt really relaxed from the time we walked in. Caroline's knowledge of Autism is second to none. I left her office with a peace of mind I haven't had in over six years! I just wish all the parents knew about her! I have a 16-year-old daughter with Autism who was failed by this system my only regret is I didn't know about Caroline when she was younger.

My only regret is that I didn’t book her sooner

The moment we stepped into the room, Caroline was calming and relaxed, which really helped my daughter. It was like having a chat with a friend. She is just amazing. My only regret is that I didn’t book her sooner. I now know we can help my girl going forward, so thank you Caroline, you're amazing.

The therapist really listened and took the time to listen to my son

Brought my son to see Caroline she was great with him explained things brillantly to him. So he, as a 10yr old understood he was there for assessment and got feedback at end of the session and suggestions on coping with certain things I had concerns about. She really listened and took the time to listen to my son. Also I would recommend her to my friends without a worry.

It was a nice calming environment

We met with Caroline for an adhd assessment for my teen boy. Caroline spoke directly with my son and explained everything so well, addressing teen with such respect and recognition that has made the world of difference for us. There was no condescending tone, my kid picks up on this and will close off, Caroline was very much easy to talk too. It was a nice calming environment! Very welcoming, informative and reasonably priced that I would recommend to others as we had all info relayed in person as well as a follow up summary email that same evening. Then within 4 weeks we received the full report. Based on recommendations I received from others we went with Caroline and we were not disappointed. Many thanks Caroline!!

The therapist is so down to earth and realistic

Being told as a parent something is wrong with your child is not easy to swollow. Then being told you have a year to wait till any one assess your child is just unacceptable. To have a psychologist like Caroline Goldsmith available within 2'weeks or less to assess your child and give a diagnosis was just amazing. Caroline is so down to earth and realistic she made hearing my daughter's diagnosis so much more easier and gave clear instructions on what therapies my daughter needed. I have now got my daughter OT because I have the diagnoses and SLT because I have her diagnoses and that is all down to Caroline Goldsmith I am forever grateful and would definitely recommend her.

The interactions were beautiful to see

We had our son assessed by Dr. Caroline Goldsmith in Waterford. From the moment we met Caroline, she began working very hard to assess our son, to find out what was going on and to provide us with the help that we needed. It was an amazing experience to see Caroline communicate with our son, she talked to him and played with him. The interactions were beautiful to see. Dr. Goldsmith is generous, kind, professional and caring. She cares deeply about children and she has a great generosity of time, spirit and care for children and their families. We cannot recommend Dr. Caroline Goldsmith enough, and we are very grateful to her for helping us.

So so empathetic and just an all-around beautiful soul

Had my son assessed by Caroline at the Waterford clinic and I honestly could not recommend her enough. She is the most beautiful person I’ve ever met and really cares for the children. She has so many patients and is so detailed in her work she does not cut corners and spends a lot of time assessing the child. So so empathetic and just an all-around beautiful soul. Thank you Caroline you are amazing.

Explains in a way that is easy to understand

Absolutely outstanding treatment. Caroline listens to all and any concerns, takes her time with clients instead of rushing them out the door. Explains in a way that is easy to understand. Puts recommendations in place, follow up sessions and always on the other end of the phone/email should further advice be required. Couldn't want for a better person. Caroline was the only medical professional who didn't fob me off when I went with my concerns. For that, I am entirely grateful and will continue with her for as long as necessary. 🙂

Excellent assessment and very professional, knowledgeable, empathic and supportive service

Excellent assessment and very professional, knowledgeable, empathic and supportive service as I find autistic burnouts and a late diagnosis of Female Aspergers may have been at the core of a lifelong pattern of distress symptoms. Thank you ATC Ireland for the thorough assessment and diagnosis.
