Assessments

Comprehensive Assessments

We provide comprehensive assessment services for individuals of all ages using a multi-faceted approach, gathering data through interviews, observations, standardised testing, and questionnaires.

What is our Process?

Consultation

Clinical Interview

Observation

Written Report

Feedback Session

Our comprehensive psychological assessment in typically involves an initial consultation to understand concerns, followed by a clinical interview to gather background and current functioning details. Behavioural observations across contexts provide further insights. We would then apply standardised psychological tests to evaluate cognitive abilities, personality, emotional functioning, and relevant domains. After data analysis, the psychologist prepares a written report with findings, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations. A feedback session reviews the results with the individual/caregivers, discusses implications, addresses queries, and collaborates on a treatment or support plan while maintaining ethical guidelines, confidentiality, and respect throughout the process.
