The Feedback Session is included in the cost and is a crucial component of the assessment process. Receiving a diagnosis—or not receiving the diagnosis you anticipated—can require time to process. This session provides an opportunity to understand the results, discuss your feelings, and explore the next steps. Due to the importance of this discussion, a report will not be released without first completing a feedback session.

Our current availability is 2 to 4 weeks. If you are seeking an urgent assessment, book your session, and you will automatically join the waitlist and be contacted if we have a cancellation.

Booking an assessment and paying the fee does not guarantee receiving the diagnosis you seek. The purpose of the assessment is to provide an accurate and objective evaluation based on your unique symptoms, history, and current functioning. Our goal is to understand your neurotype and give an accurate diagnosis, if applicable. The assessment process involves a thorough review of various factors, including clinical interviews, standardised tests, and screening questionnaires. The outcome is determined by the data collected and the professional judgment of the psychologist. It is important to approach the assessment with an open mind, as the results may provide insights that differ from your initial expectations but are essential for your overall understanding and well-being.

For some clients, confirming their neurotype can provide significant relief and validation. Understanding one's neurotype can offer clarity and a sense of self-acceptance, which may be sufficient for one's current needs. Others might benefit from additional support to navigate any challenges or changes that come with this knowledge. Ultimately, the decision to pursue further therapy is a personal one, and there is no expectation that you book with myturn2talk Psychology. If you are working with a psychologist, therapist or coach and want to pick up where you left off, we hope your assessment gives you the answers you need to continue to grow and thrive.

Yes! The Initial Consultation serves multiple purposes. It helps clarify the scope and limitations of the assessment, sets clear expectations, and addresses any questions you may have. It also involves gathering essential information contributing to the overall assessment report. Finally, this consultation allows us to review the screening questionnaires you completed in the Intake Form, ensuring that the most appropriate assessment is selected for your needs.

A Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) is a plan written by a GP that supports your request for therapy following an assessment by your GP. A MHCP is usually accompanied by a referral from your GP to see a psychologist and both are required to qualify for a rebate. With a MHCP you can now access up to 20 Medicare-subsidised psychology sessions per calendar year (increased from 10 sessions as of the 9th October 2020). After your tenth session, your psychologist will require a MHCP review from your GP, so you can access the remaining 10 psychology sessions subsidised or bulk billed. During your online application process, you can add your MHCP and referral details onto our secure platform (Halaxy). These documents are then easily accessible before your first therapy session which will make the rebate at the end of your session possible.

There is no requirement to attend therapy following assessment. But if you did choose therapy, it is important to know that therapy at myturn2talk is limited to 10 sessions. The goal is to help you understand your neurotype, discover personalised accommodations, and create a plan for living with your neurodivergent profile following assessment, not long-term support. After the ten sessions (or earlier), you can transition to specialised support or long-term therapy (e.g., coaching or therapy for co-occurring conditions).

Therapy offers a structured and supportive environment for individuals to explore their mental and emotional health. Therapy can provide a safe space for deep self-exploration, healing, and personal growth, allowing individuals to gain insights into their behaviours and thought patterns. Coaching, on the other hand, is typically more future-focused and goal-oriented. While coaching is not a substitute for therapy, it can complement therapeutic work by helping individuals apply their insights in practical, forward-moving ways. Both therapy and coaching have unique merits and can be incredibly valuable depending on an individual's needs and circumstances. Whether seeking to heal from past experiences or striving to achieve future goals, both approaches offer supportive frameworks for personal development and growth.

Psychologists use “talk therapies” to help people work through their problems. They cannot prescribe medication and will refer you to a medical doctor to discuss these options. Psychiatrists specialise in the medical treatment of mental illness and can prescribe medication and might include "talk therapy" in their treatment approach. Many clients see a psychiatrist for shorter sessions to monitor their medication and a psychologist for the therapy component as medications rarely treat all of the symptoms.

Therapy sessions are limited to 10 to ensure we can provide comprehensive and effective care to all our clients. As a practice, we see immense value in offering thorough assessments to help individuals understand their neurotype. By limiting the number of therapy sessions, we maintain the capacity to offer these important assessments.

The current fee is $230.00 per 50-minute session. If you have a MHCP, you will receive a rebate once the session has concluded.

Standard sessions are 50 minutes long, but we recommend allowing an hour in your diary. Diagnostic interviews are between 90 and 120 minutes; always allow for the whole 2 hours.

I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, having worked in schools and Private Practice for many years. But perhaps best way to answer this is to ask you to give me a call. Every supervisor is different and so its worth having a few questions ready to ask each of the supervisors you contact and see who best fits your needs.

If you are in a crisis, if another person may be in danger, or if you are experiencing suicidal or homicidal thoughts, call 000 or Lifeline 13 11 14 immediately. These are both 24-hour crisis support services. myturn2talk is not a crisis support service.
