Adults
For adults who think they may be autistic, whether the idea is new or has been there since school. We look at your developmental history alongside how work and relationships feel now.
Many people spend years wondering why things that look easy for others take them so much effort. An assessment can put a name to that experience and point towards support that fits.
Who I assess
Young people
For young people and the families around them. Appointments are paced to suit the young person, and parents or carers contribute to the developmental history.
How an assessment works
Four stages, so you know what comes next at every point.
-
Get in touch
Send a short email. We arrange a brief call to check that an assessment is the right next step.
-
Share some background
You complete questionnaires and a developmental history before your appointment, which leaves session time free for conversation.
-
Assessment appointments
Structured conversation and observation using recognised tools such as the ADOS-2 and ADI-R.
-
Feedback and report
A feedback session to talk through the findings, then a written report you can use to access support.
Dr Olivia Hamlin
BSc, MSc, PGCert, PGDip, DClinPsy
Clinical psychologist, HCPC registered
I am a clinical psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), with specialist training in autism diagnostic assessment. My NHS work includes child and adolescent neurodevelopmental services and adult mental health settings, so I am used to meeting people at very different points in their story.
I aim to make an assessment feel respectful and straightforward, and to write a report that is useful afterwards.
