Your Psychologist Surry Hills Questions Answered
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.
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 serve different purposes. Therapy centres on ongoing support, emotional well-being, and practical strategies, while assessments are designed to explore whether conditions such as ADHD or autism may be contributing to your experiences. If you're unsure which is right for you, we're happy to help you decide.
In some circumstances, it may be appropriate to assess for both ADHD and autism, particularly where there are overlapping traits or questions about both conditions. This can be discussed during your initial consultation.
