ADHD ASSESSMENTS
Living with undiagnosed ADHD can be confusing, frustrating, and exhausting. Whether you’re struggling with focus at work, relationships, or simply getting through everyday tasks, an assessment can help you understand what’s really going on and what support is available.
Symptoms
of ADHD
ADHD affects everyone differently, but common signs include:
Trouble focusing or paying attention
Easily distracted or forgetful
Difficulty organising tasks or managing time
Restlessness or feeling “on the go”
Interrupting or speaking without thinking
Struggling to sit still or relax
Losing things often (keys, phone, paperwork)
Finding it hard to finish tasks or meet deadlines
Mood swings or frustration with everyday tasks
If these challenges are having a regular impact on your work, studies, or personal life, an assessment could help you gain clarity and direction.

FAQs

An ADHD assessment is right for you if you:
Suspect you may have ADHD but have never been formally diagnosed
Were diagnosed in childhood but want to review how symptoms affect you as an adult
Already have a diagnosis but want a second opinion or updated assessment
Feel your symptoms are affecting your quality of life and want support
-
A diagnosis can feel like a relief — it validates your experiences and helps explain long-standing challenges.
If ADHD is confirmed, you’ll have options for support, including:
Practical strategies and coping tools
Psychological support and therapies
Medication, if appropriate
Guidance on workplace or educational adjustments
Diagnosis is the first step toward managing ADHD, not the final destination.
-
If you already know you have ADHD, we can help you:

Careful titration (adjustment of dose) to find what works best for you
Regular follow-ups to make sure treatment is safe and effective
-
The assessment is a detailed 90-minute appointment using the DIVA-5 diagnostic interview, along with your completed questionnaires and background information.
-
Before your appointment, you’ll be asked to complete the Adult Self-Report, Childhood Self-Report, WEISS Impairment Scale, Background Information Form, and an Informant Questionnaire (someone who knew you well during childhood can fill this in).
-
These help your clinician understand your symptoms, background, and how ADHD affects you day to day — saving time during the appointment and supporting an accurate diagnosis.
-
The appointment usually lasts around 90 minutes.
-
You will receive your written assessment report within one week of your appointment.
-
This follow-up session allows you to discuss your diagnosis, treatment options, and next steps, including non-medication support and potential medication if appropriate.
-
If you already have a diagnosis, please book an Existing ADHD Diagnosis Consultation. Bring your original diagnostic report, so the clinician can review it and confirm that it meets current standards.
-
Before starting medication, you’ll need a medical review to check your height, weight, BMI, blood pressure, and ECG to ensure medication is safe for you.
-
Once you’ve started medication, titration reviews take place every 3–4 weeks (or as clinically indicated) until you reach your optimal and well-tolerated dose.
-
An annual review is recommended to make sure you’re managing well on your current treatment, that your medication remains appropriate, and that any support needs are reviewed.
-
Yes — repeat prescriptions are available for existing patients at a cost of £35. They can be collected from the clinic or posted via recorded delivery.
-
Not always. Medication can only be prescribed after a feedback consultation and pre-medication checks, once it’s confirmed that it’s safe and appropriate for you.
