assessments

Brisbane Counselling Centre has qualified, specialist psychologists available to conduct psychological and neuropsychological assessments.

Such assessment are often required for the following legal matters:

• personal injury claims
• criminal matters
• pre-sentence matters
• testamentary capacity or fitness to plead matters

Additionally, assessments can identify:

• learning difficulties - such as ADHD, literacy & numeracy problems, dyslexia
• intellectual abilities - such as giftedness
• neurological problems - such as stroke or dementia or head injury
• personality disorders
• emotional problems

A psychological assessment will involve three stages and will not require any preparation prior to the initial appointment:

• initial interview where the psychologist will gather information from the client and/or their guardian/s
• psychological testing of the client
• reporting and discussing test results with the client and/or their guardian/s.
