Learn moreHow assessment works with us
Contact us to arrange your first session with our Clinical Psychologist. We talk through your concerns, complete an initial psychological assessment, work out which tests are appropriate, and clarify your goals so the recommended testing fits your situation.
Book OnlineYour Clinical Psychologist prepares a psychometric testing prescription — the specific set of recommended tests — and talks you through what each one is for.
We send you a quote for the recommended testing for your approval and payment. If you have budget constraints, the prescription can often be adjusted to suit, and payment plans are available on request.
Once approved, testing gets underway. We email any online questionnaires and schedule your testing sessions with the Clinical Psychologist — in person at our Bundall clinic or via telehealth, depending on your preference and the tests involved.
When your questionnaires and sessions are complete, we score and interpret the results. Your psychologist prepares a comprehensive report covering any diagnoses and recommendations, then meets with you for a feedback session to talk through the findings.
Your Clinical Psychologist will discuss whether further psychological support or therapy would be helpful. Any therapy is entirely voluntary and always your choice.
