ADHD Services for adults
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopment disorder that impacts the way people, children and adults, behave on a day-to-day basis. For instance, they may struggle to concentrate for periods at a time or be extremely forgetful or loud.
While people of all ages can have ADHD, it reportedly tends to be easier to detect among children due to the fact that people tend to adapt to and cover some of the signs as they get older.
Self-care plays a key role in helping manage ADHD and can include making sure people get at least eight hours’ sleep every night, regular exercise and eating a healthy and well balanced diet. An ADHD diagnosis can help adults truly understand their unique traits and adopt a tailored strategy to effectively managing them going forwards.
We’re with you every step of the way
How our ADHD Assessments for children work
Our comprehensive assessments are carried out in accordance with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) guidelines and underpinned by the latest industry best practices.
1
Information-gathering
Before the assessment takes place, we will share some pre-assessment questionnaires with you, which we will need you to complete as fully as possible. We will then use this insight to identify the most suitable assessment.
Please note: If there is a strong indication, we will invite you to progress to the next phase.
Step
2
Multi-disciplinary assessment
Once we have reviewed your completed questionnaires, we will invite you to come and see us to be assessed. During the two hour session, we will chat to you and use a range of specialist resources that enables us to get to know and fully understand you.
Step
3
Diagnostic report
We will provide you with a written report within 4 weeks of your last assessment session with us. If possible, we will share our diagnostic outcome with you, as well as tailored recommendations based on your individual circumstances. In addition to emailing the report to you, we will invite you to come in and see us, so that we can discuss the findings together.

All the services we provide are charged for.
We operate as a not-for-profit independent organisation. This means you can always be assured that our fees are the lowest we can reach while maintaining the highest quality of assessment and support.
Please get in touch with the admin team for any specific queries about pricing.
No. Our clinicians can only provide a diagnosis if they believe you meet the diagnostic criteria. It would not be possible or ethical to guarantee a diagnosis. Complex histories or external factors may impact outcomes. We cannot refund fees based on diagnosis absence, as our service provides a rigorous UK best practice model assessment, not a specific diagnosis.
Yes. Our Adult Autism Assessment includes the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO), conducted by an experienced psychologist or psychotherapist which is an inclusive Autism assessment tool particularly useful for assessing Autism in women and non-binary people. This is followed by an assessment by a neurodevelopmental specialist psychiatrist to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.
Yes, our clinicians are experienced in understanding masking complexities. Share information about how your child masks and their coping strategies during the assessment. Encourage your child to share how they feel with the clinicians. It is important that the clinicians have enough evidence to support a diagnosis, think about different settings that your child’s symptoms present in and share information with them.
The clinician’s must be able to evidence that the symptoms are present in a setting outside of home such as school, or an extra curricular activity. A professional in one of these settings will need to fill out pre-assessment questionnaires about your child’s symptoms and traits.
No, we don’t prescribe medication for ADHD.
