What's involved?

Welcome to our Assessment Process for onsite evaluations! We strive to make this journey as warm and welcoming as possible for you, your child, or your parent/guardian. Here's what you can expect:
  • 1-3 Preparation Sessions: These sessions are designed to not only gather important background information but also to build a strong rapport. We believe in understanding your unique needs and preferences to tailor our approach accordingly.
  • 1-3 Evaluation Sessions: During these sessions, we'll administer the assessments directly with you, your child, or your parent/guardian.Tests and tasks are selected based on the referral question and specific needs of the client. Our goal is to create a comfortable and supportive environment for the assessment process to generate reliable and accurate data.
  • Analysis and Formulation: Your data will be carefully analysed, and a detailed diagnostic report will be formulated by Gina Howland, our experienced Clinical Psychologist. Our analysis section goes beyond simply presenting data; it provides insight into how diagnostic decisions were derived, ensuring transparency and understanding.
  • Feedback Session: This is where we come together to discuss the Finalised Report in detail. For adult clients or parent(s)/guardian, we'll provide comprehensive feedback to ensure clarity and understanding every step of the way.
