Frequently Asked Questions About Our Dawes Point Psychologist
No, you can book directly with FORME Psychology without a referral. Some clients, however, choose to obtain a referral from their GP to access Medicare rebates where eligible.
Yes! Many people seek therapy while exploring neurodivergence or navigating challenges that may relate to ADHD or autism. A formal diagnosis isn't required to access support.
Yes, many clients continue on with therapy after completing an ADHD or autism assessment, which allows us to provide ongoing support and practical strategies suited 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.
It may be appropriate, in some circumstances, to assess for both ADHD and autism, especially where there are overlapping traits or questions around both conditions. This can be discussed during your initial consultation.
