Psychological Assessment
The first session(s) typically involve an assessment of what help is likely to be needed. Depending on the problem, assessment might be very quick and simple, or longer and more in-depth. We can explain why a certain level of assessment is required. After the assessment, we will best know how to help you and can provide further quotes for treatment and intervention services. See our FAQ page for more information on the assessment process.
After Assessment
Findings from the assessment may suggest any of the following (or any combination of the following):
- Further assessment
- Data collection/behavioural recording
- Therapy sessions
- Behaviour management plan
- Assessment by other professionals
- Referral to support services
- Other recommendations
- See the FAQ page for more information on the above
