Psychological Assessment
Psychological assessment is the process of assessing a person's mental health and behaviour with the use of standardised tools, observations and other methods. It provides valuable insights into how someone thinks, feels, and behaves, offering a deeper understanding of their strengths and challenges.
These assessments are used in a variety of ways, such as:
Identifying and diagnosing mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or learning disorders.
Evaluating cognitive abilities, such as memory, problem-solving, and reasoning skills.
Understanding personality traits and emotional patterns.
Gaining clarity on developmental delays or behavioral concerns in children.
Guiding treatment plans, career decisions, or educational support.

How Would Psychological Assessment Help?
Psychological assessments are like maps that help us understand the unique way a person thinks, feels, and behaves. They offer valuable insights into areas such as learning abilities, emotional well-being, social skills, and personality traits.
By identifying strengths and challenges, these assessments can:
Help parents, teachers, and therapists create tailored support plans for children and teens.
Provide clearer understanding of underlying struggles, whether related to attention, emotions, or learning.
Guide adults in understanding their personality and how it affects their relationships, career, and overall life choices.
Ultimately, assessments are tools to empower individuals and their families to make informed decisions and work toward positive change.
What to Expect During a Psychological Assessment?
Psychological assessments follow a structured process to ensure accurate and helpful results. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Clinical Intake
This is the first session where we get to know you (or your child) better. During this session, our therapist will ask about the challenges being faced, background information, and goals for the assessment. This step helps us decide if an assessment is truly necessary or if other approaches might be more suitable.
Step 2: Psychological Assessment
If the assessment is deemed necessary, we proceed to this step. It involves a series of standardized tests, interviews, and observations tailored to the specific concerns—whether it’s related to attention, learning, emotional well-being, or personality. These sessions are conducted in a supportive and structured environment to ensure the most accurate results.
Step 3: Briefing and Reporting
After approximately two weeks, we’ll schedule a session to share the findings with you. In this session, we’ll go over the assessment results in detail, explain what they mean, and discuss the next steps or recommendations. A formal report will also be provided for your reference.
