Psychological assessment
Psychological assessment
If you or someone you support is facing emotional, behavioural, or cognitive challenges, a psychological assessment can offer clarity. It helps identify what’s going on, why it might be happening, and how best to move forward with treatment or support.
At PLE Health, we offer professional psychological assessments carried out by HCPC-registered clinical psychologists. Whether for personal insight, diagnosis, legal purposes, or occupational needs, our assessments are thorough, respectful, and tailored to each individual.
What is a psychological assessment?
A psychological assessment is a structured process used to explore a person’s mental health, emotional wellbeing, cognitive function, or behavioural patterns. It often includes interviews, questionnaires, observation, and standardised tests.
Assessments may explore:
Emotional and mental health concerns (e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma)
Neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g. ADHD, autism, learning difficulties)
Cognitive or memory concerns (e.g. after brain injury or illness)
Personality traits and psychological functioning
Fitness to work, study, or stand trial in legal contexts
Every assessment is different and shaped by the questions you're hoping to answer.


Who are psychological assessments for?
We provide assessments for:
Adults and children seeking a better understanding of mental health or behaviour
Employers or occupational health teams seeking advice for workplace support
Legal teams or insurers requiring independent psychological reports
Educational professionals looking to understand learning needs or challenges
Individuals looking for answers or a formal diagnosis
If you’re not sure whether an assessment is right for you or someone you support, we’re happy to talk it through.
What’s involved in the process?
The assessment process usually involves several steps:
Initial consultation – To understand the purpose and goals of the assessment
Data gathering – Clinical interviews, background information, and any relevant documents
Psychometric testing – Standardised tools to explore cognition, behaviour, or emotion
Report writing – A clear, structured summary of findings and recommendations
Feedback session – A chance to discuss the results and next steps
All assessments are carried out by qualified psychologists and follow recognised frameworks.
