Do you find yourself going back and forth about whether you think you have ADHD? Are you looking for an ADHD expert to carry out your assessment, so that you can finally get the answers you’re looking for?

I understand how vulnerable and emotional the process of undergoing an adult ADHD assessment can be. This is why it’s important to find a clinician that you trust to do an expert and thorough assessment. Being assessed and formally diagnosed with ADHD can be a validating and important step towards self-acceptance. Most importantly, you’ll have the answers and clarity you need to move forward.

I specialise providing adult ADHD assessment and diagnosis and I have many years of experience as a Clinical Psychologist. This means that whether or not you meet the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis, I have the expertise to help you make sense of what is causing your struggles & what may be helpful moving forward.

Do You Have Adult ADHD?

Are you or a loved one struggling with symptoms consistent with ADHD? You're not alone. I specialise in helping neurodiverse adults to gain the clarity and self-understanding they need to move forward and reach their full potential in the areas that matter most to them.

What Is Adult ADHD?

Adult ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects approximately 4% of adults. It is characterised by difficulties with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms often manifest in different ways for adults compared to children, making it challenging for some clinicians without specialist training to identify it. Sometimes ADHD is mistaken for mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder, or missed altogether.

Diagnosing Adult ADHD

If you suspect that you or a loved one may have adult ADHD, it is essential to find an expert with the training and knowledge to give you an accurate diagnosis. A comprehensive assessment process involves gathering information from self-report questionnaires and a clinical interview lasting approximately two hours, alongside other supporting evidence.

    Our Clinical Psychologist will review all the data collected over the course of your assessment, in order to consider a formal diagnosis.
