An assessment is a multi-step process. It begins with an initial online triage chat to ensure we can help, followed by gathering background information via questionnaires from parents and school staff. The assessment itself takes place in person (at home, school, or our office) using a low-pressure, strengths-based approach with plenty of breaks. Afterward, you receive a detailed formal report packed with actionable strategies for home and school.
We are fully trained and set up to deliver high-quality remote assessments. However, we generally prefer in-person sessions as they allow us to get the best possible understanding of the child and their day-to-day context. Online assessments can be considered for children aged 8 and over, and this option can be discussed during our initial triage chat to see if it is appropriate for your child.
Our fees vary depending on the complexity of the case, the location of the assessment, and whether the commissioning party is a family, a school, or a legal case manager. We provide a clear, transparent quote during our initial triage chat, and our full terms of business are sent out before you make any commitment to proceed.
Yes. A dedicated feedback session to talk through the findings and answer your initial questions is built directly into our standard service and included in the price you pay. If you require additional ongoing support later on, we also offer further follow-up consultation sessions for parents, carers, or school staff to help implement the recommended strategies.
I am a qualified, registered psychologist and hold full clinical responsibility for all cases. To ensure we can reach a broader range of communities, I am supported by a team of assistant psychologists who hold psychology degrees with Graduate Basis for Registration (GBR). Between us, we can deliver assessments and gather background information in English, German, Turkish, Arabic, Bengali, and Urdu.
No, we do not provide formal diagnostic assessments for Autism or ADHD, as these typically require a distinct neurodevelopmental specialist pathway or a multidisciplinary team. Our practice focuses purely on educational, cognitive, learning, and executive functioning profiles, alongside educational rehabilitation following acquired brain injuries. However, we confidently recommend the team at Umid, based in Hampshire, for such assessments. You can reach out to them directly here: https://umid.co.uk/.
