Assessment & Diagnosis

A psychological assessment is an evidence-based way to understand ongoing challenges with focus, learning, mood, or relationships. Through interviews, questionnaires, and standardised tests, it helps clarify underlying patterns and identify factors such as ADHD, anxiety, or learning difficulties.

For adults and children alike, assessments provide more than answers. They offer clear direction for therapy, interventions, and academic or workplace support.

When to get assessed

You might consider getting assessed if:

  • You’ve noticed ongoing difficulties with attention, organisation, or learning.

  • Teachers, colleagues, or loved ones have raised concerns about focus, mood, or behaviour.

  • You or your child struggle to keep up at school, work, or in daily life despite consistent effort.

  • You’d like clearer answers about a past diagnosis.

  • You’re seeking formal documentation for exam or workplace accommodations.

  • You’re already in therapy or coaching, but progress feels limited.

An assessment can be a powerful first step, helping you move from confusion to understanding and from uncertainty to a clear plan forward.

If you’re relating to any of these, reach out to explore.

Each assessment is tailored to your goals and questions. At Lavender Psychology, we offer:

  • ADHD and Attention Assessments – to clarify whether challenges with focus or impulsivity may be linked to ADHD or other attention difficulties.

  • Learning and Cognitive Assessments – to explore strengths and weaknesses in learning, memory, and problem-solving.

  • Emotional and Personality Assessments – to understand patterns in mood, coping, and relationships.

  • Diagnostic Assessments – to determine whether symptoms align with anxiety, depression, or trauma-related conditions, guiding treatment planning.

  • Guide treatment planning and therapy.

  • Support school or workplace accommodations, such as extra exam time or flexible schedules.

  • Highlight strengths and growth areas for personal development.

  • Help coordinate care with other professionals like educators, doctors, or therapists.
