For individuals aged 16+

Personality & Mental Health Assessments

Clear, evidence-based insights to help you understand yourself and move forward with confidence.

Our clinicians use gold-standard structured diagnostic interviews, including the SCID-5-CV, SCID-5-PD, and DIAMOND, alongside validated screening tools and a detailed clinical interview. This ensures your assessment is rigorous, ethical, and aligned with the best available evidence.

Who These Assessments Are For

Are experiencing long-term difficulties with emotions, relationships, or identity
Feel stuck in repeating patterns that you can’t fully explain
Have been unsure whether your symptoms fit anxiety, depression, trauma, or a personality-related condition
Have received different diagnoses over time and want clarity
Already attend therapy but want a deeper diagnostic understanding
Want to understand yourself better — independent of needing a formal diagnosis

These assessments are available to individuals 16 years and older.

If diagnostic criteria are met, this will be clearly outlined in your report. In some cases, findings may indicate sub-threshold features or a broader clinical formulation rather than a single diagnosis. Our aim is clarity, accuracy, and usefulness, not labelling for its own sake.

Psychologists cannot prescribe medication or recommend specific medications.
If you are seeking medication, you will need to consult a psychiatrist or GP. Our reports can support these discussions but do not replace a medical assessment.
