Psychological Assessment
Book a psychological assessment. This is the first stage of change.
Service Description
A psychological assessment is the foundation of change. Assessment is the key to understanding your history, your personality, and the things that make you 'tick.' Added to this is an understanding of the ways you react to stress and your motivations. This together will form the basis of what psychologists call a 'formulation'. This is a working model of you, and the problem you are bringing to therapy. This model pinpoints what is going well and what is making your problem worse. I can tell you what needs to change and the next stage is working together so I can teach you new ways to manage your mind, your stress, your environment and any other problems identified. Following the assessment is a course of therapy that then directly focuses on your goals for change. Therapy involves learning new ways to react to your triggers, whether these are your thoughts, other people or difficult feelings. The assessment is often therapeutic in its own right, providing answers to "why am I like this?". A sense of hope is embedded in this process as once the problem is found the solution is clear. Motivation can ebb and flow. Don't put this back on the back burner. Book now.
