What an assessment is for
Assessments are designed to build a clear understanding of an individual’s functioning across key areas, including strengths, challenges and support needs. Where appropriate, this process may contribute to a formal diagnosis.
Following assessment, you will receive a detailed report outlining findings and practical recommendations to guide next steps.
Psychological assessment can play an important role in clarifying difficulties, informing intervention, and supporting access to appropriate services.

Our approach
We recognise that each person’s situation is unique. Your psychologist will work with you to understand your concerns and determine whether an assessment is appropriate, and if so, which type of assessment will best meet your needs.
We do not recommend assessment unless there is a clear purpose. Time is taken to establish the goals of the assessment and ensure the process is meaningful, targeted and clinically appropriate.
Our assessment process is structured to provide a thorough and balanced understanding of functioning. Reports are clear, concise and tailored to the purpose of the assessment. Recommendations are practical, evidence-informed and designed to support real-world outcomes, including intervention planning, educational support and access to services where relevant.
