Psychometric tests can be a helpful way to explore how you experience the world. They offer information you can reflect on personally or bring into conversations with a therapist, GP, or other helping professional. These tests do not provide a diagnosis, but they can support self‑understanding and may contribute to self‑identification or to seeking a formal assessment if that feels right for you.
If you are considering a formal diagnosis — for example, to access medication or medical advocacy — your GP is usually the best first point of contact. A formal diagnosis typically involves showing a number of traits, and it’s completely normal for people to experience these traits in different ways.
At Shine! Therapy & Supervision, all services are shaped collaboratively with you. Sessions are individually tailored and sensitively adapted to your communication style, preferences, and any neurodivergent traits you may have. Your lived experience is always central.
