You’ll gain valuable insight into how you think, feel, and behave, exploring whether your current mental health challenges relate to personality traits, emotional coping mechanisms, behavioural strategies, social skills, or specific diagnoses.

  • This assessment helps identify your core values, natural strengths, cognitive abilities, and personality traits to align them with suitable career paths and specific occupations you may excel in.

    Assessment cost: $2,000

  • This assessment aims to identify the root causes of your mental health symptoms and/or disorders, determine accurate psychological diagnoses, and recommend appropriate treatment plans.

    A diagnostic assessment may focus on:
    – determining the possibility of a new psychological diagnosis or verifying a previous diagnosis
    – identifying specific diagnoses such as mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and trauma-related disorders.
