Our team is made up of highly experienced Clinical Psychologists and ADHD specialists who provide evidence-based, compassionate assessments designed to help people better understand how ADHD affects concentration, organisation, emotional regulation, and daily life.

What sets our clinic apart is the balance between clinical depth and a human, supportive approach. We do not treat assessment as a high-volume or transactional process. Instead, we focus on careful understanding, meaningful insight, and practical recommendations tailored to each individual.

Our approach includes:

Fully individualised assessments from first contact to post-care
Evidence-based diagnostic methods tailored to adult ADHD
Clear, consistent communication throughout the process
Detailed clinical formulation, not just checklist diagnosis
Comprehensive reports recognised by GPs and healthcare professionals
Ongoing post-assessment guidance and support options

We treat every person as an individual, not simply a diagnosis, with the aim of creating clarity, understanding, and direction.

You Deserve Clear Answers

Many adults come to us after years of uncertainty about their focus, organisation, restlessness, or emotional regulation.

You may recognise:

Difficulty concentrating or staying organised
Problems with time management or completing tasks
Restlessness or feeling constantly “on the go”
Impulsive decision-making or interrupting others
Emotional overwhelm or frustration
Forgetfulness and losing focus easily
Challenges at work, in relationships, or managing daily responsibilities
Symptoms that have been present since childhood

For many people, these patterns can lead to stress, low confidence, burnout, or feeling misunderstood. Understanding these experiences through a structured ADHD assessment can provide clarity and help you access the right support.

Our aim is to help you better understand these patterns in a supportive and evidence-based way, so you can move forward with greater confidence and practical guidance.

FAQ

What signs might mean I should consider an adult ADHD assessment?

Common signs of ADHD in adults can include difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, restlessness, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, poor time management, and challenges with organisation or completing tasks. Many adults also experience difficulties with work, relationships, motivation, or managing everyday responsibilities.

Can adults be diagnosed with ADHD later in life?

Yes. Many adults only recognise ADHD symptoms later in life, often after years of struggling with focus, organisation, emotional regulation, or burnout. A formal assessment can help provide clarity and appropriate support.

What happens after an ADHD diagnosis?

Following your assessment, you will receive a detailed diagnostic report and a feedback session with your clinician. You will also be given personalised recommendations, which may include therapy, ADHD coaching, workplace adjustments, or referral pathways for medication where appropriate.

How long does a private adult ADHD assessment take?

The assessment is completed over a small number of structured appointments to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your experiences and symptoms. Once the process is complete, reports and feedback are typically provided within 7 days.

Will a private ADHD diagnosis be recognised?

Yes. A private diagnosis completed by a qualified clinician can often be used to support workplace adjustments, discussions with GPs, and access to further healthcare or support services where appropriate.

Can I have an ADHD assessment without involving family members?

Yes. Adult ADHD assessments can be completed without family involvement.

However, where helpful and appropriate, we may ask about developmental history or gather additional background information to support clinical understanding. This is always discussed with you first.

What does an adult ADHD assessment involve?

The assessment process is designed to be clear, supportive, and structured from the beginning.

Assessments may include clinical interviews, ADHD rating scales, executive functioning and attention-based tasks, and discussions around developmental history, work, relationships, and everyday functioning.

The aim is to build a detailed understanding of your experiences rather than relying on a single screening tool.

What support is available after the assessment?

Support does not end with diagnosis.

Following the assessment, you will receive a detailed feedback session and personalised recommendations, which may include therapy, psychoeducation, workplace accommodations, coaching, or further clinical support depending on your needs.
