ADHD Assessment and Diagnosis

Private ADHD Assessment for Adults in London & Brighton

​

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, executive functioning, and emotional regulation. While often associated with childhood, ADHD commonly continues into adulthood and can significantly impact work, relationships, finances, and self-esteem.

​

Adult ADHD is frequently missed or misdiagnosed. A professional assessment can provide clarity, validation, and a pathway to effective support.

​

I work with adults across London Brighton, and nationwide offering both in-person and online ADHD assessments, making the process flexible and accessible.

​

Common symptoms of adult ADHD include:

• Difficulty concentrating or completing tasks

• Chronic disorganisation and poor time management

• Forgetfulness and missed deadlines

• Impulsivity or inner restlessness

• Emotional sensitivity, frustration, or feeling overwhelmed

​

To meet diagnostic criteria, symptoms must be long-standing, present across settings, and significantly affect daily functioning.

​

What the ADHD Assessment Includes

​

Step 1: ADHD Screening
Completion of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) to determine whether a full assessment is appropriate.

​

Step 2: Full Clinical Assessment

We explore:

• Developmental and childhood history

• Impact on work, relationships, and daily life

• Personal strengths as well as challenges

⏱ Duration: 90–100 minutes (single session or two shorter sessions).

​

Step 3: Diagnosis & Personalised Recommendations
You receive clear verbal feedback and tailored recommendations, which may include:

• ADHD therapy or coaching

• Referral to a trusted partner psychiatrist for medication

• Workplace or educational accommodations

• Identification of co-occurring conditions (e.g. anxiety or depression)
