Assesment

Assessment

When you visit your psychologist he will ask you about your needs and would make a comprehensive assessment of your situation and problem. 

How is an assessment conducted?

You will have a relaxed conversation with your psychologist and will be asked questions gathering further information. Often we may ask you to fill some questionnaires out or participate in evaluative exercises. If is needed, we may ask  some of your siblings, friends or colleagues for additional information. 
The gathered information will be scientifically analysed by your psychologist and explained to you.

What is the next step? 

Once the problem is clarified then you will  be offered and a treatment plan and prospective solutions. With your consent and we will expect from you to have an active role in its implementation by sharing your views, opinions and action steps for achieving your desired goals. 

How the assessment helps you?

You will gain clarity about your problem which in itself sometimes provide a relieve and orientation what is going on. Discussing the scores and answers from your questionnaires leads to awareness or better  understanding of your problem. Having the outcomes from your test is not aimed to label or stigmatize you, rather it helps your psychologist to get orientation about you and formulate possible development of your problem. 

Can I trust psychometric tests?

Yes, you can. Depending on your psychologist you will be offered standardized and validated psychometric tests relevant to your situation. Questionnaires usually are available on paper or electronically.
