Hello

Hi, I'm Tatum Aspeling, the director and lead assessor here at Vergent Assessments.

 

I am a diligent and passionate psychologist with clinical experience ranging from inpatient psychiatric care to community based care in both South Africa and the United Kingdom.

 

My approach to assessments is respectful, considerate, and curious. I hold the values of being ethical, compassionate and competent in high regard during my work with clients. I aim to facilitate a process that enables an exploration of your past and current experiences and concerns, without judgement, while also using the latest psychometric assessment tools to achieve the most helpful and accurate outcomes.

 

My aim is to create an assessment process in which you will gain insight and increased self-awareness and access to appropriate resources so that you may be empowered to understand and care for your mental health.
