Caring Psychology Support Designed Around You

Feeling overwhelmed is common when facing anxiety, low mood, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, or challenges related to ADHD or autism. Psychological support aims to create a safe space where you can better understand what you're going through and develop practical tools to support your next steps.

We know at FORME Psychology that no two people’s circumstances are the same. That’s why our approach is individualised, with therapy and assessment services tailored to each client’s unique needs, goals, and strengths.

Our team works alongside children, adolescents, adults, and families in The Rocks, offering support for a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and mental health concerns.

ADHD Assessments Available in The Rocks

ADHD can affect attention, organisation, emotional regulation, impulse control, and daily functioning across childhood and adulthood. Many people seek an assessment after years of wondering why tasks feel more difficult for them than they do for others.

At FORME Psychology, comprehensive ADHD assessments are available for children, adolescents, and adults in The Rocks. Our assessment process is structured and evidence-based, providing meaningful insight into strengths, challenges, and support needs.

An ADHD assessment may help:
  • Provide clarity on whether ADHD is playing a role in current difficulties
  • Enhance self-awareness and understanding
  • Help shape a plan for ongoing treatment and support
  • Support requests for educational or workplace accommodations
You can learn more about our child ADHD assessments and adult ADHD assessments here.

Autism Assessment Services in The Rocks

Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference that shapes how people experience, understand, and interact with the world around them.

For some people, an autism assessment may provide clarity around lifelong experiences, social communication differences, sensory sensitivities, routines, relationships, or emotional well-being.

At FORME Psychology, we offer comprehensive autism assessments in The Rocks for children, adolescents, and adults within a supportive, neurodiversity-affirming environment.

An autism assessment may support:
  • Build understanding around strengths and support needs
  • Offer clarity and validation
  • Help shape ongoing therapy and support planning
  • Assist in arranging educational or workplace accommodations
  • Enhance self-awareness and understanding of oneself

Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, stress, relationships, parenting challenges, ADHD, autism, or general health concerns, finding the right psychologist may make a meaningful difference.

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Emotional regulation

  • Autistic burnout
  • Communication and self-advocacy
  • Parent and family support
The goal of our autism psychologist The Rocks is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 have different purposes. Therapy is focused on ongoing support, emotional well-being, and practical strategies, while assessments aim to determine whether conditions such as ADHD or autism may be contributing to what you're experiencing. If you're not sure which service is right for you, we're happy to discuss your options together.
In some cases, 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 at your initial consultation.
