Could an Assessment be helpful?

Many adults seek an assessment to:

  • Better understand their strengths and challenges
  • Gain clarity about lifelong patterns
  • Understand their neurotype
  • Explore whether Autism, ADHD or both may be part of their experience
  • Seeking appropriate support and accommodations

Our neuro-affirming Approach

Our assessments are inclusive and neuro-affirming. We recognise that Autism and ADHD are natural variations of the human brain and we focus on understanding your strengths, challenges and individual experiences without judgement.

Additional information

Whilst psychologists can diagnose Autism, and a diagnosis of Autism Level 2 or 3 may mean that you are eligible for support under the NDIS, this assessment only forms part of your NDIS application. 

Other assessments by other professionals (for example by an Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist or a GP) are likely to be needed to have a diagnosis potentially accepted by the NDIA and funding provided by NDIS. There is no guarantee that you will receive NDIS funding.

*Disclaimer for ADHD assessment: If you are certain that you have ADHD and wish to trial medication, then we recommend that you go to a psychiatrist as they do their own assessment and prescribe medication. Psychologists are unable to prescribe medication.

Post Assessment Support

We can support you post assessment on an ongoing therapy basis to work through the outcome of your assessment (if you wish). 

Neurogrief is not uncommon with a late diagnosis of neurodivergence; in grieving the person you weren’t, the “what-if’s”, and the support you did not have access to.  You may find that you start re-experiencing memories that suddenly start to now make sense – for example; being overstimulated at events or social situations and not understanding unspoken rules.  

Please let us know if you would like to discuss how we can support you further.

Lorin Bonacci - Psychologist

BPsySci(Hons), MProfPsy, MAAPi

I am privileged to support clients in their treatment journeys, whether making meaningful changes or finding closure from painful experiences. 

I see therapy as a collaborative journey between client and therapist, and while it can sometimes be confronting, my primary role is to create a  environment for us to address the concerns that have led you to seek support. 

I have experience assisting clients navigating challenges related to ADHD, Autism, depression, anxiety, panic, chronic health issues, life transitions, workplace stress, and relationship difficulties.

I have experience in diverse settings, including private practice, EAP and non-profit organisations.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, connecting with nature, and enjoying a good cup of coffee. 

I look forward to the opportunity of working with you.

Assessment FAQ's

The pre-assessment pack requests clients’ complete forms and screening questionnaires for ADHD and/or Autism to gather information on your mental health. This allows time to be saved in your assessment appointment.

A 50% payment is required to secure your booking before the assessment session. The remainder is due before feedback session and report release.

No. Medicare rebates do not apply to assessments.

Yes. This is a part of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and/or Autism. Without this information, the outcome of your assessment may be affected. Please contact our team before booking if you would like to discuss this further.

No. Primary school reports can give information about ADHD related behaviours and your developmental history. We acknowledge that some people may not have access to these reports. As such, we will ask you to get two family members or friends (informants) to complete questionnaires and a person who knew you under the age of 18 to complete some questionnaires instead.

Please note: informants completing questionnaires on behalf of a client must be a person who was an adult at the time you were a child i.e. a parent, relative or family friend, or an older sibling.

The current healthcare system often has long wait times to see a psychiatrist. Psychologist can diagnose ADHD. A thorough assessment by a psychologist can shorten the diagnosis wait time. You will also receive a comprehensive report, feedback and personalised treatment recommendations for interventions.

No. Psychologist cannot prescribe medication. At present only psychiatrist can prescribe medication for ADHD (albeit there are plans to have GPs be trained in this area).  

Both psychologist and psychiatrists are trained in diagnosis. Psychologists focus on behavioural intervention for ADHD and psychiatrist pharmacology.

If you do not meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and/or Autism, you will be supplied with a summary detailing this and suggestions for further treatment.

Seeking assessment does not guarantee any diagnosis.

No. You are welcome to contact us by phone or email if you have any questions.

Yes. If you already have a diagnosis of one or the other, we can tailor the assessment to suit your needs.

This depends on the assessment. Our ADHD assessment is 1.5
hours; Autism 3 hours and combined 3-4 hours. We encourage movement breaks, fidget items, or other supports that may help you to feel as comfortable as possible
for the assessment session.
