Service Description

Pre-Diagnosis Assessment (Therapist-Led) This service offers a structured, exploratory assessment with a qualified therapist to help determine whether pursuing a formal clinical diagnosis may be appropriate. It is designed for individuals who are questioning whether they may present with traits or patterns commonly associated with conditions such as ADHD, ADD, Autism Spectrum presentations, Narcissistic Personality patterns (NPD), Schizoid Personality patterns (SPD), or Borderline Personality patterns (BPD). What This Service Provides The session(s) focus on developing a nuanced understanding of your experiences, behavioural patterns, emotional regulation, relational dynamics, and developmental history. Drawing from clinical frameworks and therapeutic observation, the therapist will: Explore presenting concerns in depth Identify patterns that may align with recognised diagnostic frameworks Differentiate between overlapping or misinterpreted traits Consider psychological, developmental, and environmental factors Offer a professional opinion on whether a formal diagnosis may be beneficial Where appropriate, you may also be guided on next steps, including referral pathways for formal assessment. Important Clarification This is not a diagnostic service. No formal diagnosis will be given, and this assessment does not replace a comprehensive evaluation conducted by a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, or other appropriately licensed diagnostic professional. Instead, this process is intended to provide clinical clarity, direction, and informed decision-making before engaging in formal diagnostic pathways. Session Structure and Fees The Session is meant to last one hour. Sessions are charged on an hourly basis. Extra time is calculated in 15-minute increments, allowing flexibility depending on the depth and scope required.
