Meet Ms. Caroline Goldsmith
Caroline Goldsmith is passionate about making real changes in how autism is assessed in Ireland. She knows how stressful it can be for families stuck on long waiting lists, so a big part of her work focuses on reducing those delays by offering reliable private assessments.
When she first started in mental health, autism assessments were often inconsistent and confusing. Since then, Caroline Goldsmith has worked hard to bring clarity and structure to the process. She’s helped shape better standards for private assessments and uses advanced psychometric tools to ensure every evaluation is accurate, professional, and up-to-date.
A Clinically Rigorous Process,
From The Appointment
to Final Report
Our goal isn’t to keep you in therapy forever. It’s to help you
find your footing—so you can walk forward on your own.
Receiving an accurate autism diagnosis requires more than a single appointment. At ATC Ireland Psychology, Caroline Goldsmith — an accredited psychologist with over 20 years of specialist clinical experience — delivers a structured, multi-stage assessment process grounded in the internationally recognised gold-standard tools: the ADOS-2 and ADI-R. Every assessment is conducted with precision, thoroughness, and a deep respect for the individual and their family. This page outlines exactly what that process involves.
Core Psychological Assessments
Goldsmith specialises in structured evaluations for developmental and cognitive concerns:
- Autism Spectrum Assessments: Comprehensive evaluations for children and adults using gold-standard tools like the ADOS-2 and ADI-R. Reports are designed to meet requirements for educational supports and DCA funding applications.
- ADHD & Attention Evaluations: Screening and full assessments to identify attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and differentiate it from other emotional factors.
- Cognitive & Educational Testing: Assessments exploring intellectual ability (IQ), cognitive processing, and potential learning challenges such as dyslexia or dyspraxia.
Family & Parenting Assessments: Focused evaluations often used for families undergoing transitions like separation or court proceedings.

- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Targeted support for anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem in both children and adults.
- Trauma & PTSD Treatment: Specialized interventions to help individuals process difficult experiences and manage symptoms like flashbacks or hypervigilance.
- Bereavement Counselling: Compassionate guidance for those processing significant loss and grief.

Applied Positive Psychology
Caroline Goldsmith's Approach to Mental Health in Ireland
When most people think of psychology, they think of problems — diagnosing what is wrong, identifying deficits, managing symptoms.
Applied Positive Psychology, by contrast, asks a different question: what is already working, and how can we build on it? This distinction sits at the heart of how Caroline Goldsmith approaches her clinical work at ATC Ireland Psychology. It shapes how assessments are conducted, how results are communicated, and how therapeutic support is delivered.

As a parent, I cannot say enough positive things about Caroline Goldsmith and the support she has given my son.

I truly appreciate your incredibly warm and heartfelt approach, your ability to listen, and your thoughtful guidance. Your work is not only professional but also full of compassion. You help people understand themselves, find strength, and achieve peace. I’m so glad I turned to you.
Caroline assessed my three year old non verbal son at the start of August 2023 I found her very professional and lovely to deal with. She was very much for my son’s needs and thanks to Caroline and her advice I now have my son in an asd unit he has come a long way since August
My experience with this practice and the main practitioner was nothing but pleasant, informative and I was treated with consideration and understanding. If you are in need of the skills offered by this practice, I could not recommend them more highly.
