Psychological Assessments

An in-depth evaluation to clarify diagnosis, understand the underlying causes of your difficulties, and plan out the most effective next steps — carried out by a BABCP accredited therapist and NMC registered mental health nurse.

What Is It?

Understanding not just what's happening, but why.

A Psychological Assessment goes further than a general review of your wellbeing. It's a detailed, structured evaluation designed to clarify diagnosis, understand the underlying causes of your difficulties, and set out the most effective next steps — whether that's a specific therapy, further assessment, or onward referral.

Every assessment is carried out personally by Arlene Alexander-Price — an NMC registered mental health nurse since 2004 and a BABCP accredited therapist of close to two decades' standing — and combines clinical interview with standardised, validated psychometric tools.

Every Assessment Covers

Four core elements, carried out with the same rigour every time.

In-Depth Diagnostic Interview

Standardised Psychometric Tools

Validated, evidence-based measures used to build an accurate and defensible diagnostic picture.

Formulation of Underlying Causes

A clinical formulation linking your difficulties to their likely origins, not just their symptoms.

Written Report & Recommendations

A clear diagnostic summary and next-step recommendations, in language you can act on.

How It Works

The Assessment Process

Six steps, from first enquiry to a clear diagnostic outcome — each one designed to keep things simple and transparent, so you always know what happens next.

From your first message through to your written report and onward planning, every step is carried out personally, with the same care and clinical rigour throughout.
