What to expect during the assessment
You will fill out two surveys during your consultation:
1. Complete the General Medical History Questionnaire to learn about your medical history, mental health diagnoses, prescription use, and lifestyle. It helps you understand how your anxiety symptoms relate to your overall health.
2. Psychometric Scales Questionnaire assesses anxiety symptoms, influence on daily functioning, and coping mechanisms.
Our clinical team will score these questionnaires and share the results with you. Together, you and our counsellor will create a treatment plan that is personalised to your specific requirements and goals.
