The process

How the assessment works

Four clear stages, at a considered pace.

  1. 01

    Screening questionnaire

    You begin with a short screening questionnaire. This helps establish whether a full assessment is likely to be useful for you.

  2. 02

    Collection and review of pre-assessment information

    Relevant background information is gathered and reviewed before your consultation. Where available and appropriate, this can include information from earlier in life and from people who know you well. Any questionnaires or documents are handled through a secure clinical process, separate from this booking.

  3. 03

    Diagnostic consultation

    A detailed diagnostic consultation with Dr Daniela Benson, typically around 90 minutes. This is a careful, collaborative conversation about your experiences, history and goals.

  4. 04

    Treatment options and next steps

    Where clinically appropriate, the outcome is discussed at the end of the diagnostic session, along with recommendations and treatment options. Treatment decisions are made together and may, depending on circumstances, include medication, psychoeducation and practical strategies.

Information you may be asked to provide

Gathering the right background helps make the assessment accurate.

  • Personal and background history
  • School reports, if available
  • An observer questionnaire completed by someone who knows you well
  • GP details
  • Corroborative information about childhood, where available

Your information is handled securely

Any required pre-assessment questionnaires and clinical information are sent to you securely before your appointment, through an approved clinical process. This booking website deliberately does not collect or store clinical information.
