Prices are in Australian dollars. Before you begin, we'll explain the screening method, what's included, how it works and whether the service is available and right for you.

HOW IT WORKS

How the process works

  1. Clarify the question.

    Tell us what you want to understand so we can discuss whether screening is a helpful first step.

  2. Check the options.

    We'll explain what screening covers, what information we need, the cost and how it will be delivered.

  3. Review the information.

    Your counsellor reviews your responses alongside how the concern affects daily life.

  4. Receive and discuss findings.

    Receive feedback in the confirmed format, including possible strategies, referrals or questions for further assessment.

PROFESSIONAL LIMITS

What the findings can—and cannot—tell you.

Screening does not diagnose a mental health condition or determine responsibility in a relationship dispute. Safety concerns, coercion or family violence require an appropriately tailored response.

Screening outcomes depend on the purpose, information available and appropriate tools. The practitioner will explain uncertainty and any reasons to seek a suitably qualified specialist.

Frequently asked questions

Is this training or an assessment?

It is a structured review of communication patterns, with guidance that may inform future skills practice or therapy.
