Clinical psychologists: book psychological assessments

How clinical psychologists can book psychological assessment sessions online: an intake, testing sessions booked from your list, scoring time and feedback.

5 min read

A psychological assessment runs over several appointments: an intake interview, one or more testing sessions, then a feedback session once the report is written. Arranged by phone or email, each step costs time and the order can slip. With Book, clients book the intake on your own booking page, and you book the testing and feedback sessions from your list, so the assessment is planned from the first meeting.

Services for each step

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Feedback session1 h1

Durations are examples: set your own according to your practice and the rules that apply to you.

The intake interview

Say in the description what the intake covers, how the assessment continues, and which documents to bring, such as a referral or previous reports if relevant. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email.

Discretion

The note and service name appear in the client's calendar file. Ask clients not to write the reason for the assessment or health details in the note, and use neutral service names such as "Appointment".

Testing sessions from your list

At the end of the intake, book the testing sessions yourself from your bookings list. A slot can last most of a day, as long as it sits within one day, so a long testing session fits in one booking; split very long batteries into two sessions on different days. First and last name are enough; with the client's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each session.

Scoring and report time

You create every slot, so keep blocks in your week free of public slots for scoring and writing. Book the feedback session from your list once you know when the report will be ready. Book doesn't send reminders, so the calendar files keep each step visible.

Keeping public slots limited

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Open only a few intake slots each week, so new assessments don't arrive faster than you can complete them.

Changes

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the session from your list. State your cancellation policy in the description. Book doesn't email clients about changes.

Working as a team

Book has one booking page per business and no staff field. In a shared practice, create services per psychologist.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't store test results, reports or records, take payments, create video links or send reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
