ADHD EVALUATIONS

I provide structured ADHD evaluations for adults and adolescents, designed to offer clarity, direction, and practical next steps.

 

ADHD can affect attention, organisation, emotional regulation, and day-to-day functioning. While it is often identified in childhood, many people first seek assessment later in life after experiencing ongoing challenges in work, study, or relationships.

 

An assessment provides an opportunity to better understand these patterns and determine whether ADHD is the most accurate explanation, or whether other factors may be contributing.

​

Who this is for

ADHD assessments may be helpful if you are:

• Struggling with focus, organisation, or follow-through

• Experiencing long-standing difficulties that haven’t been fully explained

• Wondering whether ADHD may be contributing to anxiety, burnout, or overwhelm

• Seeking a clear diagnosis to guide treatment or support options

I work with both self-referrals and referrals from GPs and other health professionals.

​

What the assessment involves

ADHD assessments are comprehensive and structured. They typically include:

• A detailed clinical interview exploring current concerns and developmental history

• Standardised ADHD assessment measures

• Consideration of other possible explanations (such as anxiety, trauma, or mood-related factors)

• Collateral information where appropriate (for example, from a partner, parent, or school history)

This process allows for a careful and balanced evaluation, rather than relying on a single test or checklist.

​

What you will receive

Following the assessment, you will receive a written report that includes:

• A clear diagnostic formulation

• Summary of key findings

• Recommendations for next steps

• Guidance to support ongoing care

For clients working with a GP, this report can be shared directly to support further decision-making, including discussion of medication where appropriate.

​

Working with your GP

ADHD assessment is often part of a broader care pathway.

As a clinical psychologist, I am qualified to assess and diagnose ADHD. However, medication decisions sit within medical scope. If medication is indicated, your GP, nurse practitioner, or psychiatrist can support this process.

Where helpful, I can provide clear recommendations that support your GP’s role in ongoing care.

​

Practical approach

My approach is:

• Structured and evidence-based

• Focused on clarity and usefulness

• Designed to minimise unnecessary complexity

• Integrated with existing care (including GP support)

The aim is not only to determine whether ADHD is present, but to provide a clear direction forward.
