When you are experiencing psychological difficulties, it can be hard to know what might be happening for you, or your child, and this can be worrying.
Having a psychological assessment can either act as a mental health ‘MOT’, or it can formalise a mental health diagnosis.
Equilibrium Practice is able to assess:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - 3 Step Online Process
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - 4 Step Online Process
- Sensory Processing Difficulties
- Communication Difficulties
- IQ
With increasing waiting lists in both statutory child, and adult, mental health services, having a prompt private psychological assessment can enable you to be informed about your difficulties, or your child's difficulties, enabling you to make timely decisions about the most suitable treatment options - early assessment and intervention is likely to lead to better health outcomes for you, or your child.
All individual assessments follow the NICE Guidance using NHS-compliant clinical assessment tools and qualified practitioners. Because we follow this guidance rigorously, our assessments are accepted by GPs, the NHS and Local Authorities in your local area across the UK.
All assessments can sit alongside psychological therapy.
Equilibrium Practice will be celebrating Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025 (17 - 23 March) to:
- Increase acceptance and understanding
- Provide education
- Celebrate neurodiversity
