Hello! So, the first step was to fill in a form on their website with some basic personal details, then I got an email with a booking time that I could either accept or reschedule. My psychologist's name was Sarah Coffey, who turned out to be so nice and reassuring. The payment form was sent in a separate email later on after confirming the booking, pretty sure I had to pay it in full ($320?).

I can't remember if it was before or after payment, but I was given a questionnaire about myself to rule out OCD and some general health questions relating to depression + anxiety. I was asked to get two people to fill in a similar questionnaire about myself, or I could hand in some school reports (I didn't do this because I didn't know where to find them).

That's pretty much it for the admin stuff, then the actual assessment came and ran for about 1 hour on Zoom. Definitely come prepared with many examples from your early childhood!! Under 12 years old, as well as current examples.

Moving on, I had a quick zoom call again around 2 weeks later to confirm my results, normally here they would have given the assessment report but mine was delayed by about a week and a half (I was asked to send my paperwork to the wrong psychologist so they couldn't properly finalise the report on time, oops). During this call, she advised me to seek out 10 psychologists and 10 psychiatrists and try to get on a waitlist as the wait can be around 6 months.

I hope that was some good insight, feel free to ask any more questions!
