Assessments

Person-centred therapy, helping you reconnect to your humanness.

At Reeve Psychology, our assessments are designed to do more than provide a diagnosis - they offer clarity, understanding, and a deeper sense of self.

We know that seeking an assessment can feel both validating and overwhelming. You might have spent years questioning, masking, or trying to make sense of your experiences. Our goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the entire process.

Assessments are for adults only and are conducted by our experienced psychologist, Donna Vincent, who brings a warm, neurodiversity-affirming, and trauma-informed approach to her work. Donna focuses on understanding your lived experience - not just ticking boxes - so you leave the process with meaningful insight, not just a report.

(You can learn more about Donna under the“Our Team” page.)

What We Offer

Autism only assessment (ASD): $1,800

Our autism assessments are for adults only (18+ years) and are completed across three sessions, allowing time to build understanding, gather meaningful information, and provide thoughtful feedback. Fees are also split at $600 per session, payable at the time of booking, to make assessments more attainable.

  • Session 1 (Approx. 1–2 hours)
    A comprehensive background session exploring your history, current experiences, and any relevant screening measures.

  • Session 2 (Approx. 3 hours)
    A structured assessment process designed to understand your communication style, thinking patterns, sensory experiences, and overall presentation.

  • Session 3 (Approx. 1 hour)
    A feedback session where we walk through your results together, provide clarity, and discuss next steps in a supportive and collaborative way.

Autism + ADHD combined assessment (AuDHD): $2,800

For adults (18+ years) exploring both Autism and ADHD, we offer a combined assessment process also across three sessions: Fees for this assessment are split at $900 for Session 1 and 3, and $1,000 for Session 2, payable at the time of booking, to make the overall assessment cost more attainable.

  • Session 1 (Approx. 2 hours)
    A detailed background session including developmental history, current functioning, and relevant screening tools for both Autism and ADHD.

  • Session 2 (Approx. 4 hours)
    A comprehensive assessment process exploring neurodivergent traits across multiple domains, including attention, sensory processing, communication, and executive functioning.

  • Session 3 (Approx. 1 hour)
    A feedback session where we discuss your results, provide a clear understanding of your profile, and explore practical next steps.

Who’s It For?

Our assessments are designed for adults who may be:

  • Wondering if they might be autistic or have ADHD

  • Feeling different, overwhelmed, or “out of sync” with others

  • Noticing lifelong patterns around social interaction, focus, or sensory sensitivity

  • Exploring identity and wanting a clearer understanding of themselves

  • Seeking formal assessment for personal insight, validation, or support pathways

We aim to use real, human language throughout the process (not clinical jargon) so you feel understood, not analysed. If you are already a client at Reeve Psychology, you are welcome to access assessment services. We will simply take a little extra care to ensure clear boundaries and transparency throughout the process to support your experience.

Not sure where to start? We’re here to help you figure it out. Whether that be answering any questions you may have to help you decide whether an assessment feels right for you, getting you booked in for a standard session with Donna for a more detailed conversation under a therapeutic lens.

When an Assessment May Not Be Appropriate (Right Now)

There are times when it may be more helpful to focus on immediate support before beginning an assessment. This may include if you are currently experiencing:

  • Active suicidal thoughts or significant distress

  • High levels of trauma symptoms or PTSD responses

  • Recent changes in medication that are still stabilising

  • Hallucinations or symptoms of psychosis

If this is the case, please know that support is still available. You are still welcome to reach out to our team, and we can help guide you toward the most appropriate next step (GP, Psychiatrist, or psychological counselling). In some situations, it may be helpful to begin with counselling sessions to build stability and support before moving into the assessment process.
