Online PERSONALITY DISORDERS assessment
If you’ve been wondering whether you might be dealing with a personality disorder - whether OCD-type traits, narcissistic tendencies, or another pattern that’s causing distress - our online personality disorders assessment offers a private, accessible way to get clarity. Led by registered psychologists, the process helps identify symptoms across a range of personality conditions, make sense of your day-to-day experiences, and outline clear next steps for support.
What an Online Personality Disorder 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 anchor the assessment in your real experiences and ensures we’re gathering accurate, relevant information across different personality traits and patterns.
-
Discussion of your experiences
You’ll have space to talk through what you’ve been noticing — whether that’s obsessive thoughts, rigid behaviours, emotional sensitivity, interpersonal difficulties, or traits associated with narcissism or other personality disorders. This conversation helps your psychologist understand how these patterns show up in your daily life, adding important context that standard checklists alone can’t provide.
-
Use of validated assessment tool/s
Your psychologist will use evidence-based assessment tools commonly applied in identifying personality disorders. These structured measures help clarify symptom patterns, personality traits, and the degree to which they may be affecting your life. Using validated tools ensures the assessment is reliable, clinically sound, and grounded in recognised diagnostic frameworks.
-
Feedback and recommendations
After the assessment, you’ll receive straightforward, compassionate feedback explaining what the findings mean. Your psychologist will outline any relevant personality patterns, discuss next steps, and offer tailored recommendations — whether that’s counselling, further evaluation, or practical strategies for daily life. This gives you clarity and direction rather than leaving you with uncertainty.
FAQs about online PErsonality Disorder assessments
-
You may benefit from a personality disorders assessment if you’ve noticed long-standing patterns in your thoughts, emotions, or behaviours that cause distress or affect your relationships, work, or sense of self. This might include obsessive thinking or rituals, intense emotional reactions, difficulties with trust or connection, rigid behavioural patterns, or traits associated with other personality disorders. If these patterns feel hard to change or are impacting your daily life, an assessment can help bring clarity.
-
An online assessment offers convenience, privacy, and flexibility, allowing you to explore your concerns from the comfort of home. Many people find it easier to open up in a familiar environment, which can actually improve the quality of the assessment. You still receive the same professional, structured process used in face-to-face assessments — just delivered in a way that fits your schedule and comfort level.
-
When the assessment is complete, your psychologist will talk you through the results in clear, approachable language. You’ll receive tailored recommendations based on your goals and what the assessment reveals — whether that’s therapy, further evaluation, or practical strategies for managing certain traits or behaviours. The focus is on giving you clarity, direction, and a supportive next step.
-
Online personality disorder assessments use the same validated tools and structured clinical processes as in-person assessments. The level of accuracy is comparable, and the online setting can make it easier to share openly.
-
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 measures are needed, your psychologist will let you know and keep the process as smooth and manageable as possible.
-
If appropriate, your psychologist can provide a formal report (which will attract a fee) or diagnosis based on your assessment results. Whether this is needed depends on your goals — some people want clarity for personal understanding, others require documentation for ongoing care. Your psychologist will explain what can be provided and how it may be used.
-
All assessments are conducted by registered psychologists with training and experience in personality disorders, OCD-related traits, and other complex psychological patterns. They use evidence-based tools and follow professional standards to ensure your assessment is thorough, safe, and clinically reliable.
