Adult ADHD Assessments

• Understanding ADHD Assessment

  ADHD assessments for people (17+) provide a clear diagnosis and offer feedback and guidance on the next steps.

  ADHD is a neurodevelopmental variation that affects about 3.4% of adults. It falls under the category of ‘neurodiversity’, which celebrates natural differences in brain functioning. The core characteristics of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can influence various areas of life.

  Adults with ADHD may experience or have experienced challenges in education, relationships, workplace responsibilities, finances, and daily organisation. With the right understanding and support, these differences can be managed effectively, enhancing overall well-being.

  Who Should Attend?

  Each ADHD assessment requires the attendance of an 'informant'—someone who knows the adult well. This can be a partner, parent, family member, or lifelong friend. The informant provides valuable insights and additional information.

  Assessment Process

  ADHD assessments are conducted by Chartered Psychologist and include the following steps:

  • Pre-Assessment Screening: Complete online questionnaires before the assessment.

  • First Session: A 2.5-hour in-person assessment session with your chosen informant (they can attend remotely).

  • Feedback Session: A 30-minute follow-up feedback session, either in person or virtually.

  What to Expect

  After the assessment, you will have a one-on-one feedback session with the psychologist to review the ADHD Assessment report. This report will confirm or rule out an ADHD diagnosis. It will also provide personalised suggestions to enhance your well-being, focusing on your strengths and offering additional resources and services.

  What’s Not Included?

  Please note that psychiatric medication is not prescribed as part of this assessment.
