Do you struggle with expressing your opinion or speaking openly with others? Do you have trouble disagreeing with others or participating in group discussions? Or maybe you have a hard time saying “No”.

Assertiveness is a key communication skill. Assertiveness can help you express yourself more effectively and stand up for yourself, while remaining respectful of others. Assertiveness is linked with positive self-esteem and being assertive can earn the respect of others.

It might seem like other people are naturally assertive, but assertiveness is a skill that can be learnt and developed, and the experienced psychologists at Psychology Melbourne can help you with this.

Psychology Melbourne’s Assertiveness Screener can help identify which areas of your behaviour you may need to address and will suggest practical ways for improvement.

What is included in the Assertiveness Screener?

The online Assertiveness Screener is conducted by a select number of our experienced psychologists with expertise in assertiveness and related issues. These psychologists are clinical, endorsed, and general psychologists.

The Screener Includes:

• A 50 min online clinical consultation.
• 2x screening tests to ensure clear results of concern.
• Recommendations for further testing or support needs.

During the session your psychologist will:

• Take a full clinical history.
• Give you feedback on your test results.
• Provide recommendations for further testing or support needs.

How does it work?

Once you have purchased the Assertiveness Screener, reception will contact you to arrange an appointment time. Prior to your consultation, you will be sent some forms to fill in as well as up to 3 online screening tests, which will automatically be sent back to us once completed. You will need to return these forms and send back 48 hours prior to your consultation.

Your psychologist will review the test results prior to your session.

You will be sent three online psychological tests before your first session to fill in under strict test conditions.

Online Testing

You will be sent several online tests during the assessment process that have between 20 – 170 multiple choice questions. They are easy to fill in, but it is important that you follow our test conditions to get the most accurate results.

How to follow test conditions

• Complete every question in one sitting.
• Fill them in alone and in one sitting– you can share later.
• Do not be distracted by watching TV or talking to anyone else.
• Be honest as this will help validate your results.

If you have any questions or concerns about the screener, you can speak to the Reception team on 1300 161 639, email us at assessments@psychologymelbourne.com.au or use the chat box on our website.
