Psychological Assessment Service (PAS)
At PAS, we aim to help you understand more about yourself, your relationship with others, or how to support your child with emotional/learning needs.
Here is an overview of our services:
Adult Assessment
Do you wonder about your emotional or learning issues, or why others respond the way they do towards you? Would you want to learn more about yourself or your personality traits to find new ways to address your challenges?
PAS aims to collaborate with you to answer the questions you have been curious about.
Child and Adolescent Assessment
Are you worried about your child’s challenges with learning, or peer relationships, or emotional health and would like to know how to help them? As a student, are you concerned about how your challenges at school may hinder your school performance?
PAS aims to collaborate with you and/or your child to identify your challenges and support you to address them.

Supporting Growth Through Psychological Assessments

With compassionate guidance, we empower individuals and families to face life’s challenges with clarity and resilience.
