Adult psychological evaluations
Uncover strategies to cope better with challenges, and reach your goals
A clearer picture of your mental wellbeing
If you’ve ever wondered whether your challenges might be linked to an undiagnosed condition, a psychological evaluation can help provide clarity. These assessments are designed to give you a deeper understanding of your mental health, daily functioning, and overall wellbeing.
Who this is for
Psychological evaluations may be helpful if you are:
Experiencing ongoing mental health concerns
Noticing recurring patterns of behaviour you want to understand
Seeking guidance in making important life or career decisions
Wondering about conditions such as ADHD or autism in adulthood
If you require accommodations for exams or school-related activities, you will likely need a psychoeducational evaluation instead.
How evaluations are conducted
Through a mix of interviews, questionnaires, and standardised testing, we can better understand how you learn, think, and cope day to day. Assessments may look at:
Planning, attention, and organisation
Cognitive functioning
Social relationships
Emotional regulation
Behaviour patterns
What evaluations can reveal
Through the process, we can provide formal diagnoses or insights related to:
Specific learning disorders (e.g. dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Autism and social/communication challenges
Anxiety and depression
What the process looks like
Our aim is to gather information that helps us build a clear picture of your strengths and challenges. Then we can offer recommendations for support, treatment, or next steps.
During the process, you’ll work with one of our clinical psychologists who'll:
Complete a thorough interview to learn about your history and current concerns
Guide you through a series of tests and questionnaires tailored to your needs
Explore areas such as personality, thinking and memory (cognition), emotions, and behaviour
How long it takes
The length and structure of an evaluation depends on your needs:
For concerns like anxiety or depression
A diagnosis can often be completed in a single clinical interview (about 15 minutes)
A brief confirmation letter is usually provided, suitable for sharing with medical or mental health professionals
For ADHD or autism assessments
This typically involves 1-2 sessions which includes:
A thorough interview
Review of past medical, school, or therapy records
Several tests and questionnaires
If possible, a short phone interview with a parent or someone who knew you as a child
A feedback session with recommendations and next steps
A brief confirmation letter for medical or professional use
Formal reports
If you need a detailed report for legal, workplace, forensic, or academic purposes, please let us know before booking. A more extensive evaluation may be required to meet these standards.
