Assessments for Adults
We offer respectful, neuroaffirming assessments for adults seeking clarity about how they think, process, focus, and interact with the world. Whether you’re exploring ADHD, autism, or cognitive functioning, our psychologists provide a safe space to understand your profile — without judgement or pathologising.
You don’t need a referral or formal diagnosis to get started. Many adults seek assessment simply to better understand themselves.
Why Do Adults Seek Assessments?
Many adults come to us after years of feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or “on the edge” of support. You may relate if:
- You’ve always found it hard to focus, organise, or manage daily demands
- You mask, people-please, or feel chronically burnt out
- You’ve been described as “too much” or “too sensitive”
- You’re struggling with work, study, or relationships but can’t explain why
- You suspect autism or ADHD but were missed as a child
- You’re seeking clarity for self-understanding, NDIS access, or mental health support
We take the time to listen to your story and tailor the assessment process to your goals and needs.
Types of Adult Assessments We Offer
⚡ ADHD Assessments for Adults
Explore attention, executive functioning, time-blindness, emotional regulation, and nervous system burnout. Our process includes standardised tools, history review, and strength-based reflection.
🧩 Autism Assessments for Adults
Understand autistic traits in communication, sensory processing, identity, and social interaction. Our approach is affirming and trauma-informed — no masking required.
✏️ Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) Assessments for Adults
Struggled with reading, writing, or maths for as long as you can remember? You’re not alone — many adults live with undiagnosed learning differences that were missed in childhood. Our adult SLD assessments help clarify long-standing academic challenges and support your next steps with clarity and confidence.
We assess for:
- Dyslexia – reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension
- Dysgraphia – written expression, spelling, and handwriting
- Dyscalculia – number sense, calculation, and maths problem-solving
Assessments are tailored to adults who may have “fallen through the cracks” or want answers to support study, work, or self-understanding. Reports can assist with formal adjustments (e.g. at university or work), career planning, or NDIS access where appropriate.
🧠 Cognitive or Functional Capacity Assessments
Identify changes in memory, processing speed, or adaptive functioning — often used for NDIS applications or post-injury support.
💼 Career and Vocational Planning Assessments
Not sure what’s next in your career, study, or working life? We offer career and vocational assessments to help clarify strengths, preferences, and pathways that align with your neurotype, values, and goals. These are especially helpful for:
- Adults navigating career change, burnout, or identity shifts
- Neurodivergent individuals wanting affirming career planning
- Young adults unsure what study or training suits them
- People recovering from mental health setbacks or life transitions
What the Assessment Process Involves
Each assessment varies slightly depending on your goals, but typically includes:
- A clinical intake session
- Standardised psychometric testing (in person or online)
- Questionnaires exploring lived experience and developmental history
- A comprehensive written report
- A feedback session to walk through the results and recommendations
We’re transparent, collaborative, and always open to questions throughout the process.
