Assessment Process

We start with a conversation to understand your goals, background, and reasons for seeking an assessment. This includes:

• Informed consent and privacy processes

• Clarifying the purpose of the referral or self-referral

• Exploring your cognitive, learning, or attention concerns

• A brief overview of key cognitive skills (e.g., memory, processing, attention, reasoning)

• Technical setup and preparation if using telepractice

This session ensures we’re on the same page and that the assessment is tailored to your needs.

Based on our consultation, I select evidence-based tools to assess the relevant areas of your cognitive functioning. This may include standardised measures of:

• Working memory

• Processing speed

• Verbal and non-verbal reasoning

• Attention and executive functioning

• Learning-related skills (e.g., phonological awareness, reading)

This session is structured but supportive, and I’ll guide you through each step.

Once the assessment is complete and scored, we meet to:

• Discuss your results in plain language

• Highlight your cognitive strengths and challenges

• Explore how your profile relates to everyday life

• Co-develop practical, personalised strategies that fit your unique context (e.g., work, study, home)

You’ll have space to ask questions and reflect on the findings.

You’ll receive a clear, written report summarising:

• The reason for assessment

• Tools used

• Key findings and interpretations

• Your learning & cognitive profile

• Recommended strategies and next steps

This report is yours to use in educational or workplace contexts, or simply as a tool for your own self-understanding and planning.
