Online Borderline Personality DISORDER assessment
If you’ve been wondering whether you might be experiencing Borderline Personality Disorder - or whether your symptoms overlap with other personality disorders - our online BPD assessment offers a confidential, accessible way to gain clarity. Led by registered psychologists, the process helps identify BPD-related patterns, understand the emotions and behaviours affecting your daily life, and explore whether other personality traits may also be contributing. You’ll receive a clearer understanding of your experiences and practical guidance on the next steps for support.
What an Online Borderline Personality Assessment Involves
-
Confidential Video Consultation
Your assessment begins with a clinical assessment during a 50-minute private video session. Your psychologist will determine which array of screeners and assessments will be most suitable and are delivered securely online, designed to protect your privacy while giving your psychologist the information they need. This step helps establish a safe environment for you to share openly, ensuring the assessment captures the emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, and personality traits relevant to BPD and related disorders.
-
Discussion of your experiences
You’ll have space to talk through your emotions, reactions, and behaviours — whether that includes intense feelings, relationship difficulties, fear of abandonment, impulsive actions, or traits linked to other personality disorders. This conversation provides essential context and helps your psychologist understand how these patterns show up in your daily life, offering insights that structured tools alone can’t fully capture.
-
Use of validated assessment tool/s
Your psychologist will use evidence-based assessment tools designed to identify Borderline Personality Disorder and distinguish it from other personality or mood-related conditions. These structured measures help clarify symptom patterns, emotional regulation challenges, and interpersonal dynamics. Using validated tools ensures the assessment is reliable, accurate, and grounded in recognised clinical frameworks.
-
Feedback and recommendations
After the assessment, you’ll receive clear, compassionate feedback explaining what the findings mean for you. Your psychologist will outline whether your symptoms align with BPD, explore any overlapping personality traits, and recommend tailored next steps - such as therapy options, coping strategies, or further evaluation. This helps you move forward with clarity, direction, and a grounded understanding of your experiences.
FAQs about online Borderline Personality Disorder assessments
-
You may benefit from a BPD assessment if you’ve been experiencing intense emotions, unstable relationships, fears of abandonment, impulsive behaviours, or rapid shifts in mood that feel hard to control. If these patterns have been long-standing or are affecting your daily life, self-esteem, or relationships, an assessment can help clarify whether BPD — or overlapping traits from other personality disorders — may be contributing.
-
An online assessment lets you explore your symptoms in a comfortable, familiar environment, which many people find helps them open up more easily. You’ll receive the same structured, evidence-based assessment used in person, but with greater privacy, flexibility, and accessibility. It’s especially helpful if travel, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm make in-clinic appointments difficult.
-
Once the assessment is complete, your psychologist will walk you through the findings in clear, supportive language. You’ll receive tailored recommendations based on your goals and the results — whether that’s therapy options, strategies for emotional regulation, or further evaluation if other personality traits may also be playing a role. The goal is clarity, validation, and a practical plan for moving forward.
-
Online BPD assessments use the same validated tools and diagnostic frameworks as in-person assessments. The online setting can often lead to more open, honest conversations.
-
The length of the clinical assessment can vary, but most people can expect the full process to take place over 2-3 sessions — including assessments, clinical evaluation, discussion, and feedback — each session runs for 50 minutes. Your psychologist will guide the session so you have enough time to talk through what you’ve been experiencing. If additional tools or sessions are needed, your psychologist will explain the process and keep things simple and supportive.
-
If appropriate, your psychologist can provide a formal diagnosis or written report (which will attract a fee) based on your results. Whether you need this depends on your personal goals — some people want clarity for their own understanding, while others may need documentation for ongoing care. Your psychologist will guide you through what can be provided and how it may be used.
-
Your assessment will be conducted by registered psychologists with specialised training in Borderline Personality Disorder, emotional regulation difficulties, and related personality conditions. They use evidence-based tools and follow professional, ethical guidelines to ensure your assessment is accurate, respectful, and clinically grounded.
