Assessment process
How does the ADHD assessment work?
Our assessment involves a detailed clinical interview, questionnaires, and, where appropriate, input from family or schools. We design the process to be thorough yet comfortable, ensuring an accurate understanding of your needs.
How long does an assessment take?
The initial assessment typically takes 1-2 hours, with additional time for follow-up discussions or reports. The entire process, including diagnosis and recommendations, is usually completed within a few weeks.

If ADHD is diagnosed, we provide a detailed report and personal recommendations, which may include therapy, coaching, or medication options. We also offer post-diagnostic support to help you manage symptoms effectively.
Do you prescribe medication?
Depending on your situation, our clinicians can discuss medication options with you, but your GP or a specialist psychiatrist typically manages prescriptions.
Can you help with workplace or educational support?
