Frequently Asked Questions
A psychological disorder is a pattern of thoughts, emotions, or behaviours that significantly affects a person’s daily functioning, relationships, or wellbeing. A qualified psychologist uses recognised diagnostic criteria and structured assessment processes to determine whether concerns meet the threshold for a diagnosis.
A psychological assessment is a structured process used to understand an individual’s cognitive, emotional, behavioural, or developmental functioning. It may involve interviews, standardised tools, observations, and review of background information to inform recommendations, therapy planning, or reporting requirements.
The first session typically focuses on gathering background information, understanding current concerns, and discussing goals. This helps determine the most appropriate therapy approach moving forward.
Standard sessions are typically 50 to 60 minutes, depending on individual needs and funding arrangements. Session length will be discussed during the intake process.
