ADHD can present in different ways, affecting attention, organisation, emotional regulation, and behaviour. Many people begin their journey by recognising ongoing difficulties, such as trouble concentrating, impulsivity, or challenges in completing tasks. Our thorough assessments provide clear answers, helping you move forward with confidence.
An ADHD assessment is more than just confirming a diagnosis. It offers a deeper understanding of how ADHD influences daily life and highlights areas where support can make a real difference. Gaining this knowledge can open doors to effective strategies, resources, and therapies that help manage challenges while also building on strengths.
A key part of our evaluations includes sensory processing, assessed by certified sensory integration practitioners. This approach helps identify sensory preferences and difficulties, allowing for tailored strategies to improve day-to-day life.
For adults, an assessment can provide validation and relief, helping to make sense of past struggles and empowering them to take steps toward a more structured and supported future.

Our multidisciplinary team brings both clinical expertise and a compassionate approach. We recognise that assessments can feel overwhelming, and we strive to create a supportive, comfortable experience for every individual.
The first step of our assessment process is to complete some screening information so that we can find out more about you and determine together if an assessment is the right next step. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask more about our assessments and let us know of any needs or preferences you may have. This can be done by telephone or via a referral form.
Completion of provided Adult ADHD Self Report Scale questionnaire (ASRS), The Conners-4, the Conners 4 is a modern version of the Conners Rating Scales, which were originally developed by Dr. C. Keith Conners. These scales are used to help diagnose ADHD and evaluate its severity. The Conners 4 is specifically designed to be more relevant and accurate for both children and adults. The Sensory Processing Measure assessment tool will be sent via online link for completion (if there are difficulties with this, a member of the team can call to go through the assessment and answers) as well as the interoception awareness questionnaire for completion.
We will talk with you online to explore your experiences regarding attention, concentration, hyperactivity, executive functioning, relationships and organising and planning.
For face-to-face assessments, we will use the QB Test. The QB Test is a digital neuropsychological assessment that uses a combination of visual and auditory tasks to measure key behavioural characteristics that are often linked to ADHD. It’s often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools, such as the Conners 4, clinical interviews, and self-report questionnaires. If preferred, the QB Test can be arranged to be conducted online.
Once all the assessments tools are complete, an MDT meeting will be held to review all the information gathered and analyse the results collectively. The information will be considered alongside the DSM-V diagnostic criteria to ensure a clinically robust diagnosis process.
You will receive a full, in-depth, clinically robust evaluation report. It will be important to take some time read, digest and carefully consider recommendations, at your own pace.
