Unlocking Potential: The Power of a Unified Comprehensive Psychological Assessment
At Boutique Psychology, we recognise that every individual is unique, with their own set of challenges and strengths.
Our Comprehensive Assessments are designed to offer a thorough and accurate understanding of these aspects, providing a psychologically holistic view. By identifying both strengths and areas of challenge, we can offer insights into effective strategies for improvement and overall well-being.
​
Why Choose a Comprehensive Assessment at Boutique Psychology?
Holistic Approach:
Our assessments provide a complete psychological profile, considering various aspects such as cognitive functions, personality, and educational abilities. Uncover the interconnected nature of neurodiversity, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), personality disorder, learning difficulties, and educational developmental delays.
​
Clarity and Accuracy:
We delve deep to distinguish between overlapping conditions, ensuring accurate diagnosis and a nuanced understanding of individual needs. Benefit from a unified evaluation that addresses multiple facets in one comprehensive assessment.
​
Tailored Strategies:
Gain insights into effective and personalised strategies to address specific challenges and enhance your inherent strengths.
Craft treatment plans that consider the entirety of your psychological well-being.
​
​
Step One: We’re listening
First Appointment: 2-hour Telehealth session for intake interview and information gathering.
-
We’ll begin by talking about your experience, your history and concerns.​
-
We discuss your development and experiences and challenges.
-
Tell us where you see strengths and stumbling blocks.
Step Two: Assessing
Second and Third Appointment: Two 2-hour 2 hours in the clinic for in-depth assessment.
Based on what we discover in our discussions your psychologist will ask you to answer a series of standardised questions, sometimes on an iPad, sometimes using pen and paper.​
Step Three: Scoring and Reporting
We score and review all of the assessments and write a comprehensive and easy to read report.
​
Your report will be a formal document you can share with your health care team.
Step Four: Feedback
​Fourth Appointment: 1-hour Telehealth session for feedback.
​
We schedule this session for between two and three weeks after your assessment via telehealth and go through your report and findings.
​
We don't do 'one size fits' all assessments. Your psychologist will tailor your assessment and the tools to suit your needs.
