FOR ADULTS, PROFESSIONALS & LEADERS
Understand the person, not simply the diagnosis.
A comprehensive vocational and psychological health assessment designed to clarify complex adult presentations, inform clinical diagnosis, identify functional needs, and build a practical psychological health profile of how a person works, adapts and flourishes.

Adult psychological presentations rarely fit into one box.
Why this assessment exists
Attention difficulties may reflect ADHD, trauma, anxiety, sleep disruption, eating disturbances or substance use. Social and sensory differences may reflect autism, adaptation, personality, trauma or combinations of these. Ultivate’s assessment is designed to examine the whole pattern rather than rely on a single symptom checklist.
01/Clinical clarity
Integrates interview data, psychometrics, history, functioning and differential considerations to support a coherent formulation.
02/Vocational context
Examines how psychological characteristics interact with role demands, environment, leadership, workload, values and professional identity.
03/Strengths & Risks
Identifies both impairment and capacity: where the person struggles, where they perform strongly, and what conditions influence each.
Assessment focus
Designed for complex presentations where symptoms may overlap across neurodevelopmental, trauma-related, personality, behavioural, substance-related and vocational domains.

ADHD

Autism

Psychometric battery
Selected according to the referral question.
The battery is tailored rather than mechanically administering every available measure. Core and supplementary measures may include:
-
WHODAS
-
DASS
-
Adult ADHD measures
-
Adult autism measures
-
Trauma / PTSD measures
-
Personality measures
-
Eating-disorder measures
-
Substance-use measures
-
Values
-
Leadership
-
Flourishing
-
Broad clinical measures
The exact named instruments administered should be documented in the final report and selected according to clinical appropriateness. Psychometric results inform, but do not independently establish, diagnosis.
The Process: Five stages.
One integrated profile.
Stage 1 / Referral
Clarify the assessment question and what needs to be understood.
Stage 2 / Interview
Comprehensive developmental, clinical, relational and vocational history.
Stage 3 / Testing
Tailored psychometric battery selected to the presentation.
Stage 4 / Formulation
Integrate history, symptoms, functioning, context and differential explanations.
Stage 5 / Blueprint
Deliver the comprehensive personal profile, report and practical next steps.
YOUR COMPREHENSIVE REPORT
Designed to explain what is happening — and what comes next.
Our assessment reports are evidence-based and psychological, using professional profiling methods designed to help adults understand their cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, and vocational functioning with clarity and precision. They are used to guide clinical care, leadership development, enriched professional pathways, and practical strategies that may improve quality of life.
-
Clinical formulation | Integrated interpretation of developmental, psychological, contextual and functional findings.
-
Differential considerations | Explores plausible overlapping or alternative explanations rather than assuming one disorder explains everything.
-
Diagnostic considerations | Where clinically appropriate and supported by sufficient evidence.
-
Neurodivergence profile | Relevant attention, executive, sensory, social and cognitive characteristics.
-
Vocational profile | Role demands, occupational risks, strengths, values, work style and environmental fit.
-
Psychological Health Blueprint | Clinical, workplace, developmental and environmental recommendations for the next stage.
Each assessment report leads to a clear, practical formulation and a pathway forward.
FOR EMPLOYERS & TEAMS
Useful workplace information without unnecessary disclosure.
Employer-funded assessment does not mean an organisation automatically receives the employee’s complete clinical information.
Where appropriate, Ultivate can separate the confidential clinical assessment from an organisation-facing functional report.
An organisation-facing report may focus on:
-
Functional capacity
-
Workplace adjustments
-
Communication and role design
-
Cognitive workload
-
Leadership support
-
Environmental requirements
-
Psychological-health risks
The scope of information shared should be established in advance and governed by informed consent, professional obligations and applicable privacy requirements.

Rather than simply providing test scores, the psychologist integrates the clinical interview, psychometric results, functional information and vocational context to explain what the findings may mean for the individual.
Reporting Documentation
Comprehensive Report (Blueprint)
$990
The Comprehensive Report is the formal written synthesis of the assessment.
It brings together relevant clinical history, psychometric findings, functional information and vocational-health observations into an individualised psychological profile.
Additional clinical assessment consultation, collateral interviews, multidisciplinary consultation or specialised psychometric assessment may be billed separately where required. Organisational packages can be quoted separately.
HOW ULTIVATE DIFFERS
Not simply “Does this person
have ADHD?”
Typical single-condition assessment
-
Focuses on one diagnostic question
-
Determines whether criteria are met
-
Centres impairment and symptoms
-
May conclude after diagnosis
Ultivate Vocational Health Assessment
-
Examines overlapping explanations
-
Integrates diagnosis, function and environment
-
Includes strengths, values and professional context
-
Looks at treatment, accommodation and development
-
Extends the scale from distress to flourishing
“The point is not to maximise diagnosis. The point is to maximise understanding.”
A useful adult assessment should help answer what is happening, why it may be happening, what requires treatment, what requires accommodation, what requires development, and what conditions allow the person to function at their best.
