What the session involves

During this session we collaboratively construct a narrative that considers the your context, relationships, life experiences, and societal influences alongside your current concerns and difficulties. It will include discussion on factors that may be relevant to the development and maintenance of your difficulties (e.g. early childhood experiences; past & current relationships), recommended next steps (e.g. referral to appropriate services), and intervention plans.

This assessment appointment takes approximately 90 minutes to complete. It is split into two parts: 1) written clinical measures (deemed relevant to your presenting difficulties) , and 2) a semi-structured assessment.

Following this session I will provide you with an extensive report within a week of the session which includes:

• A summary of our assessment,

• A written formulation summary including any diagrams drawn out in the session

• Information about resources, books and further support available specific to your need.

This session is also recommended if you wish to have a comprehensive psychological formulation and assessment report so that you can get referred to an appropriate service within the NHS.
