Assessments & Consultations

If you've spent years wondering why life feels harder than it seems for other people, an assessment can provide clarity, understanding and a path forward.

I specialise in assessing adults for ADHD, Autism and AuDHD, including Women, high-maskers and those who may have been overlooked earlier in life.

All assessments and consultations are conducted online Australia-wide using a comprehensive, evidence-based process that combines clinical interviews, validated assessment tools and professional judgement.

Online assessments follow the same rigorous, evidence-based process as in-person assessments and are conducted via secure videoconferencing.

Many clients find online assessments more comfortable, less stressful and more accessible than travelling to a clinic.

Consultations

If your experiences fit with Autism and /or ADHD, but you are not sure if formal identification is the right path for you and would like to discuss this before booking an assessment, you can book a consultation with me.

The price of any Consultation will be deducted from any further assessment, as it is considered the first part of an assessment.

Please note: A consultation is not required before booking an assessment.

Assessments

  • This assessment is a collaborative, conversation-based process designed to explore whether your lived experience aligns with an autistic neurotype. Rather than ticking boxes against a checklist, we work together across three sessions to build a genuine picture of how you experience the world; your sensory life, social experiences, communication style, interests, and more.

    What the process involves

    • Session 1 (1.5hrs) — Getting to know you: We start with your background and developmental history, and what's brought you to seek assessment now.

    • Session 2 — (1.5hrs) Exploring your experience: An in-depth conversation covering areas relevant to autism — social communication, sensory experiences, routines and interests, and how these show up across different parts of your life.

    • Session 3 — (1hr) Bringing it together: We continue exploring any remaining areas, and discuss what we're noticing together, working toward a shared understanding of your neurotype.

  • This assessment takes a collaborative, conversational approach to understanding whether your experiences align with an ADHD neurotype. Across three sessions, we explore how attention, focus, energy, and regulation show up in your day-to-day life — in your own words. It's an open, affirming space to make sense of your experience.

    What the process involves

    • Session 1 — Getting to know you: We talk through your background, developmental history, and what's led you to this assessment.

    • Session 2 — Exploring your experience: A deeper conversation about attention, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and how these have shown up for you across school, work, and relationships.

    • Session 3 — Bringing it together: We finish exploring any remaining areas and talk through what we're noticing, working toward a shared understanding of your neurotype.

  • This assessment explores both neurotypes together, through open, collaborative conversation across five sessions — looking at how each may show up individually and how they might interact in your experience.

    What the process involves

    Across five sessions, we build a full picture of your experience together. We typically spend around two sessions exploring autism-related areas — social communication, sensory experience, routines and interests — and around two sessions exploring ADHD-related areas — attention, executive functioning, and emotional regulation. The final session brings everything together, exploring any remaining areas and working toward a shared understanding of your neurotype(s). The pace and focus of each session is flexible and shaped by what's most relevant to you.

    Payment plans are available for this service.

Documentation & Reports.

The pricing for the assessment includes by default various pieces of documentation relating to the outcome, which are tailored to you and your needs, rather than a full clinical report. This documentation will demonstrate how your experiences align with Autism and / or ADHD including any supports / recommendations, workplace or Uni accomodations & a simple letter indicating the outcome.

For the majority of people this type of documentation is sufficient. Most people will not need a full clinical report.

However, If you would like a full clinical report this can be provided at an additional fee of $400 for an Autism or ADHD assessment and $600 for a combined assessment.
