Psychological Assessment

Net Psychology provides psychological assessment. All diagnoses are provisional and confirmation is needed by a psychiatrist. It is strongly suggested all individuals undertaking an assessment at Net Psychology talk about their results / provisional diagnosis with a psychiatrist regarding further assessment and treatment options. A provisional diagnosis / report does not necessarily mean you will be prescribed medication. This needs to be followed up with a psychiatrist. Our psychologist may seek supervision from a senior psychologist if required. Payment is required in full prior to an assessment. No refunds are provided once payment has been made. 

​

First Therapy Session

Your first session is an opportunity for you to talk about what brings you to therapy. Your clinician will ask you some questions to get to know you, your circumstances and other relevant factors.

Towards the end of the session, your clinician will talk with you about what they think is going on and how they can help you in your upcoming sessions.
