AO PSYCHOLOGY / SCREENING & REPORTS
Better insight.
More informed next steps.
Sometimes you know something has been difficult for a while, but you’re not sure how to explain it. A focused screening or review can help you explore patterns in attention, mood, communication or everyday life. Choose a Standard option for a clear summary, or an In-Depth option that includes a personalised written report where suitable. These services provide guidance, not a formal diagnosis.

SCREENING EXPLAINED
What can screening help you understand?
Screening uses suitable questions to explore how your experiences affect daily life. A single score never tells the whole story. We explain the patterns, what the findings may suggest, their limits and whether other support or assessment might help.
Screening may help when the same difficulty keeps affecting work, study, relationships or daily routines. It can also help you put hard-to-explain experiences into words. The findings may suggest practical strategies or questions to explore in a further assessment.

Functioning & support needs
A focused consultation can consider everyday functioning, work or study interests, strengths and practical barriers. A vocational or progress review is scoped to the purpose, available information and written outcome requested.
Browse functioning & career reviews ↓Requests involving specialist learning, trauma, eating-related or memory concerns are considered individually. The proposed Older Adult Memory & Cognitive Screening option is non-diagnostic and subject to verifying suitable tools, training and professional scope; new or worsening memory concerns should also be reviewed by a GP. Standardised IQ testing and specialist dementia assessment are not offered.

BEHIND THE SCREENING
More than a questionnaire score
A questionnaire score is only one piece of information. Looking at when difficulties happen, how long they have been present, what helps and how they affect day-to-day life can give the results more meaning. The screening pathway selected determines whether you receive a straightforward overview or an additional personalised professional written explanation.
Standard Screening is designed for an initial overview of the selected area and its core results. Screening with Personalised Professional Written Feedback adds practitioner consideration of the available information, a written explanation of relevant patterns and individualised suggestions for what to explore or do next. We explain the inclusions for your chosen service before you proceed.
Compare feedback options TWO WAYS TO GET STARTED
Choose the level of professional feedback that fits your question.
The two options use the same agreed screening purpose but differ in the level of practitioner input and written documentation. The exact instrument, administration method and inclusions must be confirmed before the service is offered.
01
FOCUSED REVIEW
Standard screening
A focused, structured screening pathway for a defined concern, with core results and a brief explanation in plain language. It does not include an individually formulated professional report.

- Scoring or structured results, with a plain-language summary
- General information about limitations and reasonable next steps
Clear initial insightFee confirmed by service
02
PERSONALISED REPORT
Screening + professional written feedback
Adds a practitioner review of the agreed screening findings and relevant background information, presented as an individualised written summary rather than a diagnosis.
- The agreed screening process plus additional practitioner review
- Relevant history, everyday impact and personal strengths considered
- Personalised written explanation of themes and screening limitations
- Tailored practical recommendations and referral considerations
More depth, more individualised guidanceHigher fee reflects additional professional work
Before any service is arranged, we confirm the screening tool, how information is securely collected, the appropriate response process for significant concerns, the exact written deliverable, any optional consultation, the turnaround and the total fee. Not every catalogue topic is currently available. Screening cannot establish or exclude a diagnosis.
UNDERSTANDING SCREENING RESULTS
What screening findings can—and cannot—tell you.
WHY CONTEXT MATTERS
A screening result is one source of information. Its value comes from considering the question being asked, your circumstances and the limits of the screening method—not treating a score as a diagnosis.
01 / INFORM
What screening can support
Identify reported patterns, clarify the effect on everyday functioning, provide psychoeducation and inform practical next steps or an appropriate specialist referral.
02 / DISTINGUISH
What screening cannot establish
Screening cannot confirm or exclude ADHD, autism, another mental health condition or a neurocognitive diagnosis. It is not an independent diagnostic, medico-legal or specialist assessment.

PROFESSIONAL REPORTS & DOCUMENTATION
Clear documentation for different purposes.
Professional reports are considered separately from screening feedback. We clarify the intended reader, purpose, available information, scope and format before accepting an enquiry.
01 / FOR EXISTING CLIENTS
Reports for existing clients
Written information grounded in counselling already completed together, with the purpose and content agreed before preparation.
WHAT THIS MAY COVER
Ask about a treatment report
Attendance confirmations, treatment summaries and progress updates.
02 / NEW REPORT ENQUIRY
Standalone report consultations
For a specific reporting need, we first review the request and whether a focused consultation and psychosocial summary would be appropriate.
THE FIRST STEP
Discuss a standalone report
Clarify who the report is for, its intended purpose and available information.
To help us assess a report enquiry, include the intended reader, purpose and any deadline. Legal-purpose requests are reviewed individually. A standalone report is not a substitute for an expert forensic assessment or a history of ongoing treatment.
Common questions
Can I begin with standard screening and request written feedback later?
Depending on the screening service and the information collected, an additional written-feedback option may be available. We will explain the extra review required and the applicable fee.
How do I choose the right screening service?
Let us know what you would like to understand. We can explain the relevant screening options, inclusions and suitability before you make a decision.
What will be included in my written feedback?
Before commissioning personalised written feedback, you will be told what information is reviewed and what the written document is intended to cover. Depending on the service, it may explain themes in your responses, everyday impacts, strengths, limitations of the screening and practical options for further support. The agreed format and any additional fee are confirmed beforehand.
Can I request documentation for a professional or legal purpose?
Tell us who the report is for and what they require. We will assess the request individually and discuss an appropriate type of report and process.
Everyone has a story. Understanding yours is where we begin.
