Assessments are sought out for a variety of reasons. For some it may be about understanding their difficulties better, for others it may be necessary to access certain services, for example extra support for education. For many, it can be helpful and validating to understand their difficulties through the lens of a diagnosis. Our assessment processes follow best-practice guidelines and exclusively use gold-standard evidence-based assessments.
 
The exact process of your assessment may vary depending on the kind of diagnosis we are assessing for. Most likely the assessment will carry on over the course of a few sessions. This provides us the opportunity to meet with you on a variety of occasions, carry out clinical interviews and psychometric measures, as well as have a final session to discuss the findings of your assessment. Some assessments, for example ADHD assessments, may also require family members (such as parents or partners), and teachers to partake. We do this when it is consistent with the evidence base for that particular assessment. After each assessment, a report will be provided. The report will outline the findings of the assessments, namely the diagnosis (or not), how it presents in the individual, as well as some recommendations. Specialized reports can also be provided for schools/universities with recommendations of how to help the student thrive.
