Psychotherapy, parenting support, supervision and consultation are delivered online. Psychological evaluations follow a hybrid pathway: consultation, history-taking, questionnaires and feedback may have online components, while standardised testing requires in-person attendance.
Psychological evaluations usually take approximately 2–3 months from initial screening to completion of the written report, depending on the referral question, scheduling, test requirements and information needed.
Yes. A written report is included as an outcome of the relevant evaluation. Reports are not offered as a standalone product, and acceptance of a report is decided by the receiving organisation.
No. LivFull provides psychological evaluation, profiling, findings and recommendations. It does not provide medical diagnosis or medication services in Japan.
No. Psychotherapy is ongoing psychological support and does not automatically produce an evaluation report. A psychological evaluation is a separate, structured assessment process.
Messages between sessions are intended primarily for scheduling, payment and administrative matters. Therapy-related reflections may be sent only where this has been agreed with the clinician. Messages are answered as soon as practicable but must not be used for emergencies.
