Our assessments are conducted with a therapeutic approach, recognising the potential emotional and psychological impact such evaluations can have.

We approach each assessment with empathy and sensitivity, creating a safe and comfortable environment for the individual being assessed. Our skilled assessors are trained not only in the legal and procedural aspects but also in effective communication and rapport-building. We engage in meaningful conversations, ensuring that the individual's voice and preferences are heard and respected throughout the assessment process. Moreover, we are keenly aware that mental capacity can fluctuate, and it can be influenced by various factors such as stress, anxiety, and health conditions. With this in mind, we take a holistic view, considering not only the individual's current state but also their history, context, and potential future changes.

Our therapeutic approach aims to reduce any anxiety or discomfort associated with the assessment, fostering an atmosphere of collaboration and understanding. We believe that this approach not only ensures accurate and reliable assessments but also contributes to the overall well-being of the individuals we serve. At Nellie Supports, your emotional and psychological comfort is as important to us as the technical aspects of the assessment.
