At Alive Therapies, we offer comprehensive assessments to help identify and understand neurodevelopmental differences, such as autism and ADHD, and mental health conditions, as well as other clinical concerns.
Our thorough and compassionate approach provides clear insights that support accurate diagnosis and tailored interventions.
Whether you’re seeking clarity for yourself or a loved one, our assessments aim to guide you towards the most effective support and care.
Clinical Assessments
Clinical assessments provide a thorough evaluation of mental health and psychological wellbeing, helping to identify conditions such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and more complex presentations. Through a detailed, compassionate process, we gather information about your symptoms, history, and functioning to form a clear understanding of your needs.
These assessments inform personalised treatment plans, and ensure you receive the most appropriate support and interventions. They are essential for developing effective strategies to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
Autism
“The world needs all kinds of minds.”
– Temple Grandin
An autism assessment is a valuable step towards greater self-understanding and empowerment. It helps individuals recognise and validate their unique experiences, unlocking access to tailored support, therapies, and adjustments in education, work, and daily life.
For adults, it can improve mental health, guide personalised coping strategies, and foster connection within and outside of the autistic community. For parents and carers, it offers clarity about a child’s needs, access to appropriate resources, guidance for interventions, and relief from misplaced blame.
Accurate assessment prevents misdiagnosis and ensures the right support is put in place. Ultimately, it provides essential evidence for advocacy, enabling individuals and families to make informed decisions and achieve better outcomes.
ADHD
An ADHD assessment provides clarity and understanding about attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity challenges that may be impacting your daily life. It helps individuals recognise their unique strengths and difficulties, enabling access to appropriate support, strategies, and adjustments in education, work, and home life.
For adults, an assessment can improve self-awareness, mental wellbeing, and coping skills, empowering better management of symptoms. For parents and carers, it offers insight into a child’s needs, guidance on interventions, and access to relevant resources.
A thorough assessment reduces the risk of misdiagnosis and ensures tailored support is in place. Ultimately, it equips individuals and families with the knowledge and evidence needed to make informed choices and improve quality of life.
“Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.”
