ADHD Assessment and Support
Make sense of lifelong attention, motivation, and organisation struggles – with a clear assessment, practical strategies, and compassionate support.
What Is Adult ADHD?
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults often looks very different from the stereotype of a hyperactive child.
In adulthood, ADHD commonly shows up as:
-
Difficulties with organisation, planning, and time management
-
Trouble sustaining attention on tasks that are not immediately rewarding
-
Feeling internally restless or “always on” mentally
-
Impulsive decisions or speech at times
-
Emotional ups and downs, including shame and frustration
ADHD can overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, autistic traits, and chronic stress.
That is why a thoughtful assessment needs to look at the whole picture, not just a checklist.
What You Can Gain from an ADHD Assessment
A thorough ADHD assessment can help you to:
-
Name and understand your difficulties – moving from “What’s wrong with me?” to “This is how my brain works.”
-
Differentiate ADHD from anxiety, depression, or trauma – and understand how they interact.
-
Identify your strengths – such as creativity, problem solving, hyperfocus, and persistence.
-
Receive clear feedback and recommendations – for study, work, and daily life.
-
Support conversations with others – including your GP, psychiatrist, workplace, or university (with a suitable letter or report).
Understanding your ADHD profile is often the first step towards practical change and self-compassion.
What to Expect from our assessment services
Step 1 – Initial Consultation
We start with a 50 minute session to:
-
Understand your current concerns and goals
-
Explore your history of attention, learning, and mental health
-
Map out what you would like from an assessment
(e.g. clarity for yourself, support for study/work, information for your GP or psychiatrist)
Step 2 – Structured ADHD Assessment
Where appropriate, we use structured ADHD interviews and questionnaires that look at:
-
Childhood and adult symptoms
-
How your difficulties affect study, work, relationships, and daily living
-
Other factors such as anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep, and physical health
If possible, with your consent, we may also invite brief collateral information (e.g. from a parent or partner) to build a more complete picture.
Step 3 – Feedback and Recommendations
In a dedicated feedback session, we will:
-
Discuss whether your presentation is consistent with ADHD
-
Explain the pattern of your strengths and vulnerabilities
-
Answer your questions in plain language
-
Outline practical recommendations for daily life, study, and work
Step 4 – Letters and Reports
Depending on your needs, we can provide:
-
A diagnostic report for your GP, psychiatrist, or other treating professionals
-
Comments to support discussions about medication, if you choose to explore that with a medical practitioner
-
Where appropriate, documentation that may help with workplace or university supports and reasonable adjustments
