ADHD Assessment

What This Service Is

  • A faster alternative to long wait times for a psychiatrist.

  • A structured process with qualified psychologists who specialise in ADHD.

What This Service Isn’t

  • A medical diagnosis from a psychiatrist.

  • A prescription service for ADHD medication.

  • A one-size-fits-all approach—every individual receives tailored insights and recommendations.

  • A rushed process—our assessments are thorough and client-centred.

  • A standalone diagnostic assessment—this is a screening to determine if further evaluation is warranted.

Many individuals struggle with focus, impulsivity, and organisation but face long wait times—often three months or more—to see a psychiatrist for an ADHD diagnosis. This delay can leave people feeling uncertain and frustrated, unsure of whether ADHD is truly the cause of their challenges. Our ADHD screening assessment provides a faster alternative, offering clarity and direction without the extended wait. Conducted by experienced psychologists, our assessments are thorough, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual.

This service is designed to help individuals gain a deeper understanding of their symptoms and how they impact daily life. The purpose of the screening assessment is to identify whether ADHD traits may be present and if further investigation is warranted. It does not provide a formal diagnosis but instead offers psychoeducation, insights into ADHD features, and guidance on potential next steps. If the results strongly indicate ADHD, clients may choose to proceed with a comprehensive diagnostic assessment.

For those who pursue a full ADHD diagnostic assessment, our psychologists will conduct a detailed evaluation, including academic and family history, a comprehensive psychometric assessment, a clinical interview, and information from relevant sources such as family members or partners. This process ensures an accurate diagnosis and provides personalised recommendations for management strategies, including non-medication-based approaches. If a medical diagnosis or medication is needed, our assessment process provides valuable documentation that can support a smoother transition to psychiatric care.

Unlike a rushed or one-size-fits-all approach, our process ensures that each client receives personalised insights and recommendations. The goal is not just to label a condition but to equip individuals with the tools and understanding they need to navigate their challenges effectively. Rather than waiting months for answers, clients can gain clarity and start implementing helpful strategies sooner. Whether ADHD is the root cause of their difficulties or something else is at play, our assessments empower individuals to take the next step toward meaningful support and self-management.
