We provide comprehensive ADHD assessments for children, adolescents, and adults using a neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based approach. Our assessments are designed to provide a deep understanding of how an individual’s ADHD neurotype presents across different environments, relationships, learning settings, daily routines, and life stages – not simply whether diagnostic criteria are met.
The assessment process begins with a detailed clinical intake to explore developmental history, current experiences, strengths, support needs, and the impact of ADHD traits across home, school, work, and social settings. Depending on the client’s age and presentation, the assessment may include standardised questionnaires and rating scales, structured clinical interviews (such as the DIVA-5), executive functioning measures, behavioural observations, and play-based or interactive assessment approaches for younger children.
We recognise that ADHD can present very differently from person to person, particularly in girls, women, high-masking individuals, and people who have developed strong compensatory strategies over time. Our assessments, therefore, go far beyond surface-level checklists to explore the unique ways attention, regulation, motivation, sensory processing, emotional experiences, and executive functioning may be impacting everyday life.
Following the assessment, families and clients receive a comprehensive and highly detailed written report, typically completed within six weeks. Our reports are designed to be practical, easy to understand, and genuinely useful, not just diagnostic documents. They provide an in-depth overview of:
We aim for clients and families to leave the process with a clearer understanding of themselves or their child, alongside meaningful strategies to support wellbeing, confidence, self-understanding, and long-term success.
Where appropriate, we can also collaborate with paediatricians, psychiatrists, schools, and allied health professionals to support holistic care and assist with recommendations regarding medication, accommodations, and ongoing support planning.
While psychologists have many talents, we cannot prescribe medication. Our goal is to leave you with a thorough understanding of your brain, how to implement strategies that actually work, and to tackle complex co-occurrences or explore less observable traits of ADHD. If your primary goal is medication, we recommend booking directly with a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
