Psychological Assessments

At AWP, we understand that different clients present with different needs, and the only way to ensure that we can support them is by providing diagnostic clarification in order to inform treatment options.

AWP has an extensive assessment library allowing us to provide evidence-based mental health and neurocognitive diagnostic clarity for a range of issues.

Psychologists at AWP employ a multimodal assessment strategy, where we rely on clinical interview(s), behavioural observations, psychometric screening tools, and formal psychometric assessments to make conservative diagnoses.

We use our best endeavours to keep our waiting times low in order to service the public as quick as possible.
