Individual Therapy Assessment
Individual Psychological Therapy Assessment
Psychological therapy aims to understand, alleviate and prevent psychological distress and promote psychological well-being and personal development. At Evidence-Based Therapy Centre, we have a team of highly specialist Clinical Psychologists, CBT therapists, Psychotherapists and Occupational Therapists who have extensive experience working with a range of psychological difficulties. We provide a range of evidence-based psychological therapies both in-person and online including Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, EMDR and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy. We start by offering an assessment as this enables us to determine the most suitable psychological approach and recommend the most appropriate therapist given the presentation.

We always start by understand the problem
The first step is to develop a detailed understanding of the difficulties being experienced. This involves specifying what the difficulties are, making sense of why they have occurred and understanding what is maintaining them. This is usually achieved in the 1 hour assessment session but in complex cases, this can take longer and a second assessment may be recommended. Part of the assessment involves completing a number of questionnaires. These help to assess the severity of the difficulties and help when evaluating the effectiveness of the intervention.
Then we recommend the approach most likely to be effective
After the assessment session, the assessment team meet to consider what was discussed at the assessment appointment and develop a tailored treatment plan for the individual. This plan is based on the best available research and the goals and preferences of the individual. We then allocate to the therapist(s) who can most effectively implement the treatment plan.
Treatment sessions help the person achieve their goals
Clinical psychology treatment appointments last 50-60 minutes. Treatment focuses on teaching a range of skills, strategies and techniques to help understand and manage the presenting problems. To achieve the desired treatment goals, people in therapy use what was discussed in the session and practice the skills and strategies in between therapy sessions. Progress is closely monitored and discussed each week to ensure the therapy is helpful.

Workplace Needs Assessment & Reasonable Accommodations
A Workplace Needs Assessment is an Occupational Therapy assessment that explores how a person’s mental health or neurodivergent profile may be affecting their ability to function effectively in the workplace, and identifies practical adjustments that may help them to remain in, return to, or thrive at work.
At Evidence-Based Therapy Centre, this service is provided by our Mental Health Occupational Therapist and is specifically available to clients whose workplace functioning is affected by mental health difficulties or neurodivergence, including conditions such as ADHD and autism. This service is not intended for the assessment of physical or intellectual disabilities.

What does the assessment involve?
The assessment involves a detailed consultation with the employee to understand:
- Their current role, working environment and occupational demands
- How their mental health or neurodivergence affects their day-to-day functioning at work
- Areas of difficulty, such as concentration, organisation, sensory regulation, communication, emotional regulation, fatigue, managing workload or maintaining routines
- Existing strategies or adjustments that are currently helping
- Potential reasonable accommodations that could reduce barriers and support effective participation at work
The Occupational Therapist then analyses this information and develops individualised recommendations for reasonable workplace accommodations. A written Workplace Needs & Reasonable Accommodations Report is provided, outlining the identified functional difficulties and recommended adjustments.
Recommendations are tailored to the individual and may relate to areas such as working environment, communication, workload, organisation, flexibility, sensory needs, breaks, scheduling or other practical aspects of the person's role.
Financial Support: Work and Access
The Work and Access scheme provides financial supports to help employers remove barriers and make workplaces more accessible for people with disabilities. The Workplace Needs Assessment Grant can provide up to €2,500 towards the cost of a specialist workplace needs assessment, subject to the scheme's eligibility criteria and approval process.
