Assessments

We understand that everyone's journey is unique. That’s why we tailor assessments to each individual using a holistic approach that considers history, environment, medication, and support systems. This allows us to provide personalised recommendations and support, ensuring the best outcomes for each client.

Whether you are seeking a diagnosis, attempting to get a deeper understanding and awareness of yourself, or seeking assistance in navigating life with neurodivergence, we’re here to help.

Approach

Our process starts with an initial meeting to understand you and your assessment goals. Together, we create a plan outlining the number of sessions needed, if a formal assessment is necessary, and what documentation may be beneficial.

The assessment process typically starts with an intake session, followed by one or two testing sessions, with flexibility for additional sessions as needed. A feedback session concludes the process.

Throughout the assessment, the psychologist uses a variety of methods, including standardised tests, questionnaires, structured interviews, and review of records and observational data. Once the assessment is completed, we will compile a report detailing your diagnosis and providing recommendations.

 FAQs

    This diagnosis serves various purposes, including helping clients gain a better understanding of themselves, informing therapy and treatment, or facilitating access to practical supports such as the NDIS.

  • The cost of assessment sessions is $250 per hour.

    The base cost is attending a minimum of two to three sessions. You may find that you require or want additional sessions, which we can discuss and determine during our initial session.

    All assessment-specific documentation is billed separately from the assessment sessions. This includes documents like a formal diagnosis report or a letter to support a NDIS application.
