Sometimes, we’re just curious about ourselves; why am I this way? This is where a full psychological assessment can be helpful. During this process, we explore your personal and family history, background, attachment history, educational and occupational journey, any past experiences with substance use or mental health challenges, as well as your strengths and aspirations. (You only share as much – or as little – as you want to). Sometimes, psychometric assessments provide further insights into your personality or specific difficulties you may be facing.

Once I’ve gathered all this info, I put together what’s called a ‘formulation.’ It’s like a roadmap that helps us make sense of everything. I basically piece together all the information we’ve gathered to understand your unique story, struggles, and strengths. It helps us see clearly where you’ve been, how you got to where you are now, and helps us figure out the best path forward.

From there, I provide recommendations for treatment and support you might find helpful and that could really make a difference.

People request assessments for various reasons—maybe it’s for official paperwork for a GP or a PIP assessment or just to understand themselves better. But whatever the reason, my goal is always the same: to create a safe space where you feel heard and understood, and where you can gain some valuable insights into yourself.

Psychological assessments are £200 per 60 minute hour.
