Conditions we assess and diagnose
We assess and diagnose across the full range of mental health conditions defined in the DSM-5-TR — for children, adolescents and adults. The named diagnoses below are grouped by category, and every personality disorder is listed in full.
Personality disorders
Across all three DSM-5-TR clusters — assessed and diagnosed in full.
A diagnosis is always reached through careful, individualised assessment — never a checklist. If a specific concern isn’t listed here, please ask: we assess across the full DSM-5-TR.
Reports & letters for third parties
We provide letters and reports for clients and third parties — often requested by insurers or WorkCover Qld, who usually pay on your behalf; where you request a report yourself, the fee is payable by you.
Please note these assessment and reporting services are not covered by Medicare, and fees depend on the type of assessment and the timeframe required.
Some organisations specifically require reports to be completed by a Clinical Psychologist — which our team can provide.
What the assessment process looks like
A psychological assessment is a structured process, not a single test — and knowing the steps ahead of time makes it far less daunting.
It usually begins with an initial consultation, where your psychologist takes a detailed history and clarifies the questions you want answered. Depending on what’s needed, this is followed by structured psychometric testing and questionnaires, which may take one or more sessions. Your psychologist then scores and interprets the results, integrates them with your history, and arrives at clear conclusions.
Finally, you’ll have a feedback session to talk through the findings in plain language — what they mean, what they don’t, and what your options are from here. Where you’ve requested it, this is accompanied by a written report you can rely on and share with the people who need it.
Straightforward to begin — and more affordable than many expect
An assessment is an investment in clarity — and getting started is simple.
There’s no referral needed to start. You can book online in a couple of minutes or send an enquiry, and our team will help you find the right appointment and psychologist for what you’re facing.
Many people are eligible for a Medicare rebate when their GP provides a Mental Health Care Plan, which lowers the out-of-pocket cost of each session. Rebate amounts differ for a Psychologist and a Clinical Psychologist — you’ll find current fees and rebates on our Fees & Rebates page. If you hold private health extras cover, you may be able to claim through that instead (you can’t claim both for the same session).
We see clients in person at our Bundall clinic — Upton Professional Suites, Level 1, 105 Upton Street — just minutes from Surfers Paradise, Southport, Broadbeach and Benowa, with easy parking on site. Prefer to meet from home? We also offer secure telehealth appointments right across Australia.
