It is the use of phone consults and live video chat either as a standalone service or in combination with face to face sessions, to provide psychological assessments to clients/NDIS participants of the practice.

• Anyone living in Australia.

• Must have a reliable phone connection and/or internet service.

• Must have a private space to interact freely.

• Those requiring comprehensive cognitive assessments.

• Those experiencing delusions or hallucinations that are focused on TV monitors, cameras, screens, or phones or have sensory sensitivities around phone or screen usage.

• Do not have access to a quiet space to talk, or a reliable phone/internet connection.

Duration of sessions: Assessments will be conducted over the course of 60-90 minute sessions, and approximately 3 such sessions will be booked.

Mode of service: I typically use a hybrid method of remote service delivery - combination of phone + video chat so that I am able to make behavioural observations of you that are crucial to mental health assessments.

On the day of your appointment: You will receive a call on your phone from me or will be sent a video-link for you to click on and join the session. No apps or programs will need to be downloaded for this.

During the session: Care is taken to keep the process as close to the face to face experience as possible. This is where my extensive experience delivering remote assessments comes in handy.

Obtaining multiple sources of information: Like my face to face appointments, I will ask you to nominate names and contact details of other people who can contribute to the assessment - these are people who have regular contact with you and are able to comment on your symptoms, functioning, or history.
