ADHD Adult Assessments

I offer comprehensive ADHD assessments for adults who are seeking clarity about attention, focus, impulsivity, and related difficulties. An assessment can help you better understand your experiences and, where appropriate, provide a formal diagnosis to support access to reasonable adjustments, treatment options, or further support.

My approach is thorough, evidence-based, and person-centred, taking into account your individual history, strengths, and challenges.

Overview

Who Is This Assessment For?

An ADHD assessment may be helpful if you:

Struggle with concentration, organisation, or time management
Feel restless, impulsive, or easily overwhelmed
Have long-standing difficulties affecting work, study, or relationships
Suspect ADHD but have never been formally assessed
Are seeking clarity later in life after coping for many years

Assessments are available for adults (18+).

What Does the Assessment Involve?

The assessment process is designed to be comprehensive while remaining supportive and collaborative.

1. Initial Enquiry and Screening

You will begin by completing:

An initial screening questionnaire
Background and developmental history forms

This helps determine whether a full ADHD assessment is appropriate.

2. Comprehensive Assessment Appointment(s)

The full assessment typically includes:

A detailed clinical interview covering childhood, education, work, relationships, and mental health history
Exploration of current ADHD-related difficulties and strengths
Use of standardised, evidence-based ADHD assessment tools
Consideration of alternative or co-occurring difficulties (e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma)

Assessment appointments take place either in a single extended session or split across sessions.

3. Additional Information (Where Possible)

Where appropriate, additional information may be requested, such as:

A questionnaire completed by someone who knew you in childhood
School reports or other historical documents (if available)

This helps build a fuller picture, though lack of documentation will not automatically prevent assessment.

4. Feedback and Outcome

Following the assessment:

You will receive a clear verbal feedback session
Where diagnostic criteria are met, a formal ADHD diagnosis will be provided
ADHD subtype (if applicable) will be discussed
Differential diagnoses will be considered and explained

5. Written Report

You will receive a comprehensive written report including:

Assessment methods used
Clinical findings and diagnostic conclusions
Practical recommendations
Suggestions for workplace or educational adjustments (if relevant)

Reports are typically provided within 2 weeks of the assessment.

After the Assessment

If ADHD is identified, support may include:

Psychoeducation about ADHD
Recommendations for therapy or coaching
Guidance around workplace or academic adjustments
Liaison or signposting regarding medication options (where appropriate)

Ongoing therapeutic support is available but not required.
