Consultation & Training
Psychological Assessments is a teaching practice and Dr Piovesana places great value in mentoring the next generation of thought leaders.
Dr Adina Piovesana brings a wealth of knowledge to her supervision and training sessions. Adina is a fully registered Clinical Psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia (a National Board of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). She holds a Bachelor of Psychology (Hons), Master of Clinical Psychology, a Doctor of Philosophy, and has over a decade of experience conducting and interpreting psychological assessments and working within the university sector.
Adina’s experience extends to the development and delivery of statewide training for the Department of Communities, Child Safety, Disability Services, and Youth Justice sectors. These projects required translation of complex disability information into accessible language for various audiences.
Adina has also led a successful project through competitive ASHM funding to enhance the workforce capacity of healthcare professionals working with HIV. Her team developed educational materials including manuals, recorded training, and publications.
Professional Development and Training Services
Psychological Assessments consists of experienced psychologists (Masters in Clinical/Professional Psychology), educators (B.Ed; GCertEd [SpecEdNeeds] ), and academics (PhD).
With over 15 years of assessing and diagnosing disabilities, working with vulnerable communities, and 25+ years in educational support and guidance counselling for vulnerable populations and people living with disabilities, our team offers extensive expertise uniquely suited for developing and running professional development and training services.
Experience Meets Compassion
We believe that true expertise comes from a blend of extensive knowledge and a compassionate understanding of the individuals we serve.
Our commitment to genuine engagement and client-centered collaboration is what sets our professional development services apart. We don’t just teach – we connect, we understand, and we empower.
Inclusive Learning for Diverse Needs
Inclusivity is at the heart of our learning environment. We’ve taken our experience in the disability space and translated it into our training that supports and celebrates diversity in learning styles and professional needs.
Our approach to professional development is designed to be as accessible and accommodating as the support we advocate for in our assessments.
Responsive and Tailored Training
Our training is always up-to-date, practical, and aligned with our ethos of continuous improvement and growth.
Our team understands disability at the consumer level, their systemic vulnerabilities, and the barriers to equitable access to health.
Providing Microlearning Opportunities
Our dedication goes beyond traditional training; we’re passionate about creating high-quality microlearning content specifically designed for healthcare providers and front-line workers in government who support vulnerable populations.
Our goal is to improve the overall quality of healthcare for these communities by focusing training on professionals who work with them at the grassroots level.
Join Our Community of Lifelong Learners
As a teaching practice, we take pride in working with the next generation of psychologists, equipping them with the skills to excel in assessment and support within the disability sector.
With us, professional development is more than learning; it’s an experience that enriches your practice and embodies the warm, approachable, and realistic approach we’re known for.
