What are the benefits?

There are a huge range of benefits to undertaking and understanding the outcome of a psychological assessment. People are able to find out the reason for the types of difficulties that they are experiencing. They are then able to access appropriate and effective ways to help them overcome difficulties. These can take a number of forms, whether in the workplace or a learning environment: specialist tuition, extra time, use of PC and reader in exams, specialist software, eye tests etc. Dr Howells will make recommendations, using up to date, evidence-based interventions, which reflect current best practice, and which are well supported by the research literature.

Equally importantly, many individuals report increased confidence and self- esteem. They feel able to move forward and are more at ease once they have an understanding of their condition.

Throughout the assessment process, you are treated with the utmost respect. You will be clearly and gently guided through the tests, will have everything explained to you, are encouraged to ask questions and are reassured that it’s quite normal to feel anxious before the assessment. Some people find it a daunting prospect but, once complete, agree that the benefits far outweigh the anxiety.

Many find the knowledge that they are not alone and that there are many others in a similar position very helpful.
