About this service

Psychological Assessment

Psychological assessment is a process for exploring a particular question about thinking, emotions, behaviour or functioning. It is different from an open-ended counselling conversation: the reason for assessment helps determine what information is needed.

Explain who has suggested an assessment and what you need to understand. Questions about attention, learning, emotional difficulties or changes in functioning may require different approaches. An assessment result needs to be understood alongside history and circumstances.

Preparing for your appointment

Bring relevant earlier reports and any request from a school, doctor or other organisation. Ask which assessments are available and what the proposed process involves before booking.

Deciding the next step

Confirm report arrangements, expected timescales and the intended use with the centre. If an outside organisation needs a particular report, check its requirements first; acceptance cannot be assumed.
