Because psychometric testing can provide objective information to guide direction and treatment, I frequently incorporate assessment of personality, values, work styles even psychopathology and cognitive capacity in my sessions.
With my considerable life experience as well as my background in management, HR, careers coaching as well as psychology, I can help you with both your personal and work concerns. Setting goals and practicing good self care will be my starting points for you. Because it is hard to function well if your sleeping is poor, checking that out as well as your exercising and eating habits will be important. If you are unhappy at work, facing redundancy, looking for a career change, needing help with applications and interviews, wanting to upskill or reskill, I can be of assistance here too.

The people I work with are often feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted, whether they can name exactly why, or just know something feels off. They may be navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, identity exploration, burnout, or relationship challenges. Many are neurodivergent, queer, or both, and are seeking a space where they don’t have to explain or justify their experience. Some arrive with specific goals; others just want to feel different. Either way, we work together gently and purposefully to move toward relief, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.

Testing and Evaluation Counsellors
What is a psychological evaluation?
A psychological evaluation is a test or assessment most commonly administered by a trained psychologist that is intended to be used in the diagnosis of specific psychological conditions, such as ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, dementia or Alzheimer's, and learning disabilities. Psychological evaluations can help inform future treatment decisions and help direct clients to professionals and resources that may be most helpful, such as potential therapy options or additional school supports.
Can psychological evaluations be done on individuals of any age group?
Psychological evaluations are conducted on individuals of all ages and can be beneficial to individuals across the lifespan. However, specific types of evaluations may be most frequently conducted on individuals of certain age groups. For instance, ADHD or learning disability testing is often conducted in children ages 4-12--the period of time when ADHD symptoms most commonly emerge. In contrast, cognitive functioning assessments, such as those conducted to diagnose dementia, are most commonly conducted in elderly individuals. Clients should ensure that the psychologist they are seeing has specific expertise in conducting evaluations in their age group to ensure they receive a correct diagnosis.
How long does a psychological evaluation take?
Psychological evaluations vary in length depending on the test being administered and the goals of the evaluation; however, most evaluations are 2-4 hours in length. Some evaluations may take as long as 8 hours but can often be spread across multiple days. In some cases, clients will also attend an intake session or interview, which can help the psychologist assess client functioning outside of the testing environment.
How should I prepare for a psychological test and evaluation?
Individuals do not need to prepare for psychological tests or evaluations in most cases, as they are intended to measure a client's baseline psychological status without test-specific preparation. However, clients may want to brainstorm a list of questions for their psychologist about any tests they are receiving prior to the assessment, including what potential outcomes may mean for what next steps the client should take.
