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

Additionally, assessments can identify:
- learning difficulties – such as ADHD, literacy & numeracy problems, dyslexia

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

- psychological testing of the client
- reporting and discussing test results with the client and/or their guardian/s.
