Looking for talking therapy rather than a formal report? Start with individual counselling or child & adolescent therapy — many families find support there without needing an assessment first.
Sometimes you need more than a conversation — you need clear answers. Whether you’re concerned about a child’s learning or attention, wondering about ADHD or developmental needs, or seeking clarity about emotional or cognitive functioning as an adult, a psychological assessment can help.
At Vita Mea Clinic in Mosta, assessments are arranged through the clinic with limited capacity. We discuss suitability with you first, then guide you through the process. We do not offer walk-in IQ testing as a standalone product; cognitive testing is only included when it is clinically relevant to the question you are asking. For professional reasons we do not always list assessment practitioners on this website — please enquire and we will explain the next step privately.
Assessments aren’t about labels for their own sake. They’re about understanding strengths and challenges so the right support can follow — at school, at work, at home, or in therapy.
Is this right for you?
This work may be a good fit if any of these sound familiar:
- A teacher or doctor has suggested a psychological or educational assessment
- You’re concerned about attention, learning, or developmental differences
- You need formal findings for school or workplace support
- Previous advice has felt vague and you need a clearer clinical picture
- You have already considered therapy and still need diagnostic clarity
What we can help with
- Clarifying learning difficulties and academic support needs
- Attention, concentration, and ADHD-related concerns
- Developmental and emotional assessment questions
- Informing school, exam, or workplace accommodations
- Guiding therapy or intervention planning
- Assessments for children and adolescents
- Adult assessments where a formal report is clinically indicated
- Making sense of long-standing difficulties that never quite fitted
What to expect
An initial conversation
We begin by understanding your concerns, history, and what you hope the assessment will clarify — including whether therapy may be a better first step.
The assessment itself
Depending on the question, this may include interviews, standardised tests, questionnaires, and observation. We explain each step clearly so nothing feels mysterious.
Feedback and recommendations
You’ll receive clear findings and practical next steps — whether that’s school support, workplace adjustments, therapy, or further specialist input.
Our approach
Assessments are carried out by appropriately qualified professionals using recognised tools and clinical judgment. Results are interpreted in context — your history, environment, and lived experience matter as much as the scores.
You’ll leave with understanding, not just paperwork. We’re honest about what an assessment can and can’t tell you, and we help you turn findings into a clear plan. Enquire via our contact form and the clinic will guide you.
Looking for therapy instead?
Many people searching for an assessment mainly need support for anxiety, behaviour, school stress, or family strain. Talking therapy is often the better first step — and you can always discuss assessment later if a formal report is still needed.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer IQ tests on their own?
No. We do not offer walk-in or standalone IQ testing. Cognitive testing may form part of a broader psychological assessment when it helps answer a clinical or educational question — we will explain this when you enquire.
Who are assessments suitable for?
Children, adolescents, and adults. The format and tools depend on age and the questions you’re hoping to answer — we’ll guide you toward the right type of assessment, or toward therapy if that is the better start.
How long does an assessment take?
It varies. Some assessments can be completed over one or two appointments; others need more time for testing, questionnaires, and feedback. Capacity is limited; we’ll outline the expected process when you enquire.
Will I receive a written report?
Yes. You’ll receive clear written findings and recommendations, and we’ll talk them through with you so the results feel understandable and useful.
Can an assessment help with school support in Malta?
Often, yes. Formal findings can help schools understand needs and put appropriate support in place. We’re happy to discuss what documentation may be most useful for your situation.
