Psychological Assessment
Careful assessment that turns uncertainty into a workable map
Overview
Many people seek an assessment when their experience feels real, but hard to name. A good assessment builds a coherent picture of what is happening, what is maintaining it, and what will most likely help next. Our approach is structured, clinically grounded, and respectful of complexity.
What is a psychological assessment?
Psychological assessment is a structured evaluation that integrates multiple sources of information, typically including clinical interview, validated questionnaires, and where indicated, standardised cognitive or behavioural measures. The purpose is to answer specific questions such as:
What best explains these symptoms or patterns?
Are there overlapping factors (for example anxiety plus ADHD traits, trauma plus burnout)?
What strengths can we build on?
What treatment approach is most likely to help, and what should be prioritised?
Assessment is often useful when you are seeking:
Diagnostic clarity (or differential diagnosis)
Treatment planning after therapy has stalled or progress feels unclear
Understanding attention, executive functioning, or learning challenges
A clearer picture of mood, anxiety, trauma-related patterns, or burnout
A coherent formulation that makes sense of long-standing difficulties
Recommendations for supports or adjustments (where appropriate)
Assessment pathways at Nenya
Your assessment is tailored to the question you want answered. Depending on fit and scope, pathways may include:
Diagnostic clarification (mood, anxiety, trauma-related presentations)
ADHD and executive functioning-oriented assessment (where within scope)
Autism-informed screening and differential considerations (where within scope)
Personality style and relational patterns (for treatment targeting)
Cognitive and functional screening (attention, memory, processing factors, as indicated)
Integrated formulation assessments for complex or mixed presentations
Deliverables are agreed in advance and may include:
A feedback session explaining findings in plain language
A clear summary of key themes, strengths, and vulnerabilities
Diagnostic impressions when clinically indicated, including uncertainty where it exists
A formulation linking triggers, maintaining factors, and protective factors
Practical recommendations (therapy targets, supports, referrals, routines)
A written report when required (for you, and with consent, your GP or referrer)
How it works
1) Assessment consultation and referral questions
We clarify what you want answered, gather history, and agree on scope, including any reporting needs.
2) Measures and information gathering
You complete selected questionnaires and, when indicated, structured interviews or standardised measures. We choose tools that match the question, not a one-size-fits-all battery.
3) Integration and formulation
We synthesise results across sources, consider context and development, and examine differential explanations rather than forcing a single narrative.
4) Feedback and next-step plan
We share findings, answer questions, and provide a clear plan you can implement. If a report is included, it is written for the intended audience and purpose.
