Psychological Assessment

Understanding your difficulties is the first step towards the right support.

I provide psychological assessments to help you understand what may be affecting you or your child. I take time to understand your experiences and needs in detail, helping to identify what may be contributing to the difficulties you are experiencing.

Where appropriate, I provide diagnostic clarity, followed by a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. I also provide a written report outlining my assessment findings and recommendations.

We have been experiencing difficulties with our 15 year old boy who lives with ASD and ADHD. He’d become very dis regulated and this was leading to strain within the family which was becoming characterised by increasing levels of aggression. The local CAHMS team seemed to be stuck in a procedural loop which we couldn’t break out of and get suitable treatment. We approached Lauretta and within a few short days we had an assessment, report and outline treatment plan - something CAHMS hadn’t even begun to start thinking about despite months of battle. We couldn’t fault the service and more importantly the level of understanding and empathy we received as a family. The long journey from our home was well worth it!

Laurretta helped our teenage daughter manage school stress and anxiety—she gave her clear tools that she could use independently right away. We were impressed by how quickly we saw positive changes. Highly recommend!

We first started seeing Lauretta when my son was 15 and struggling with a lot of anxiety and anger. Lauretta helped us find better way to communicate with him, which made a real difference to how he, and we, feel about school and life in general. She has been an amazing support to us.

I’ve been in therapy for some time, but working with Loretta was a completely different experience. It gave me new tools and a mindset I can continue to build on, A face to face calm environment is always the best experience too.
