Common Questions
No referral is required to book with FORME Psychology. Some clients do choose to obtain a GP referral, though, to access Medicare rebates where eligible.
Of course! Many people seek therapy while exploring neurodivergence or working through challenges that may be linked to ADHD or autism. A formal diagnosis isn't necessary to access support.
Yes, many clients choose to continue with therapy after completing an ADHD or autism assessment. This allows us to provide ongoing support and practical strategies tailored to their individual needs.
Therapy and assessments each serve a different purpose. Therapy focuses on ongoing support, emotional well-being, and practical strategies, whereas assessments are designed to explore whether conditions such as ADHD or autism may be contributing to your experiences. If you're unsure which service suits you, we're happy to talk through your options.
Depending on the circumstances, it may be appropriate to assess for both ADHD and autism together, particularly where there are overlapping traits or questions about both. This can be discussed during your initial consultation.
