How does the process work?

We have a four-stage process for psychological assessment:

Intake – A comprehensive interview with you to explore which questions you’d like us to answer and the history of your experience.
Assessment – Sessions held one-on-one with the person being assessed to administer a variety of standardised tools.
Feedback – A session for us to explain the results of the assessment, in plain language, and for you to ask questions.
Report Writing – Our reports are thorough, personalised and practical. Naturally, this means that they are all different. Our practitioners don’t use computer-generated templates and we take care to write reports that will serve you in the most helpful way possible.

How much does assessment cost?
