A
proper psychological assessment is essential before making
a formulation of the client’s difficulties and recommending
or initiating any kind of psychological treatment or therapy.
You can contact Carole to arrange a preliminary telephone
assessment either by email or by telephone..... Next
step.
Following
this assessment - Psychological Assessment
The
length and comprehensiveness of the psychological assessment
will be determined by the findings from the Preliminary telephone
and/or e-mail query.
Normally in situations where there are clearly no psychological
or behavioural issues and the goal of consultation is to enhance
the mental skills related to performance (Performance Development)
no further in-depth individual psychological assessment will
be undertaken.
Normally
in situations where there is some kind of slump or decrement
in performance which has been attributed to non-physical causes
(Performance Dysfunction) 1- 2 sessions may be necessary to
complete an assessment.
In
circumstances where there are clearly complex and/or longstanding
problems having a significant impact both upon the client’s
personal life and performance in sport, (Performance Impairment)
2 – 4 sessions will probably be necessary to make a
proper assessment and formulation.
