Adult ADHD assessments

ADHD can affect how a person functions at school, work, home and in relationships. If you believe you may have ADHD, an assessment can be a valuable step towards accessing treatment that supports symptom management, emotional understanding and day-to-day wellbeing.

Symptoms of ADHD

ADHD influences behaviour and concentration in different ways. While some people find symptoms reduce over time, others continue to experience challenges that significantly affect everyday life and functioning.

  • Impulsiveness
  • Disorganisation
  • Difficulty prioritising tasks
  • Poor time management
  • Problems maintaining focus
  • Difficulty finishing tasks
  • Challenges with multitasking
  • Excessive restlessness
  • Poor financial management
  • Low frustration tolerance
  • Frequent mood changes
  • Short temper

I’m often told that an ADHD assessment brings a genuine sense of relief. It can help people understand lifelong challenges and provide reassurance that improvement is possible. An assessment isn’t only about receiving a diagnosis, but about gaining insight, support and practical guidance to help make daily life more manageable.

What happens in an ADHD assessment?

You’ll work closely with an experienced specialist clinician to build a full picture of your experiences, thoughts and behaviours. Information is gathered from several sources, including symptom questionnaires, behavioural rating scales and, where appropriate, input from family members or others who know you well.

Types of ADHD

There are three recognised subtypes of ADHD. If a diagnosis is confirmed, we’ll identify the specific type and create a clear, evidence-based treatment plan to support you moving forward with confidence.

Treatments for ADHD

Following your assessment, we may recommend additional treatments or services, such as strategies to improve organisation, planning and time management. Support may also include techniques to help manage tasks and develop better impulse control.

Where appropriate, medication may be prescribed to help reduce symptoms, alongside learning and practising practical strategies that make everyday challenges easier to manage.
