At Cause Effect Psychology, we believe assessments are not just about labels—they are about insight, clarity, and practical support to help you and your loved ones navigate your world with confidence. Whether you or your child are experiencing difficulties with learning, focus, emotions, or behaviour, our psychological assessments help you understand how your brain works, where your strengths lie, and what tailored strategies can help you thrive.
We offer comprehensive neurodevelopmental and cognitive assessments with a neuro-affirming and strengths-based approach, focusing on empowerment rather than differences. Our experienced psychologists provide clear, actionable recommendations to support success at home, school, and in the workplace.
Through tailored strategies for emotional regulation, executive functioning, and social confidence, we help you and your family gain the self-understanding and tools needed to navigate challenges, embrace your unique strengths, and reach your full potential.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects people in different ways, often impacting focus, impulse control, organisation, and time management. Our ADHD assessments help identify:
🔹 Attention and concentration difficulties
🔹 Executive functioning challenges (eg planning, organisation, task initiation)
🔹 Impulsivity and hyperactivity patterns
🔹 Strengths and strategies to improve daily functioning
Our approach goes beyond diagnosis—we equip individuals with practical tools and strategies to enhance focus, emotional regulation, and self-management in school, work, and personal life.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference that affects social communication, sensory processing, and emotional regulation. We recognise that autism presents uniquely in each person and use a comprehensive, neuro-affirming approach to assessment.
Our process includes:
🔹 In-depth discussions about strengths, challenges, and lived experiences
🔹 Gold-standard diagnostic tools (eg ADOS-2, MIGDAS, CARS-2)
🔹 Collaboration with parents, teachers, or partners for a well-rounded understanding
🔹 Personalised recommendations to support sensory needs, social interactions, and emotional wellbeing
Whether you’re seeking an autism diagnosis for self-understanding, workplace support, or educational accommodations, our assessments provide clarity and actionable insights.
Some individuals experience challenges with problem-solving, memory, reasoning, or academic skills that affect their ability to learn and retain information. A cognitive assessment helps identify:
🔹 Intellectual strengths and areas for support
🔹 Processing speed and working memory capacity
🔹 Problem-solving and critical thinking skills
🔹 Potential learning disabilities or giftedness
This assessment can help determine if additional educational support, accommodations, or learning strategies would benefit an individual.
Dyslexia and other learning differences can impact reading, writing, spelling, and comprehension. If a child or adult is struggling with academic performance, a psychoeducational assessment can:
🔹 Identify learning challenges early to provide effective interventions
🔹 Assess reading fluency, comprehension, and processing speed
🔹 Recommend school accommodations and specialised learning strategies
🔹 Support confidence and success in education and work
With targeted support, individuals with dyslexia and other learning difficulties can develop new skills, build self-esteem, and thrive in learning environments.
Understanding emotions and behaviors is key to building self-awareness and resilience. Our psychologists conduct assessments to explore:
🔹 Emotional regulation difficulties (eg anxiety, mood swings, or distress tolerance)
🔹 Challenging behaviors and their underlying causes
🔹 Social-emotional skills and self-confidence
🔹 Personalised strategies for coping and behavioral change
This type of assessment is particularly helpful for children and adults experiencing difficulties with emotional regulation or behavioural patterns.
