A company
The adult world is a highly demanding place. We’re expected to manage multiple responsibilities independently, both in our working and personal lives. Some of us will have struggled with the symptoms of ADHD when we were younger, but we either managed to ‘mask’ them (at great effort and cost) or we were seen at best to be ‘a bit disruptive’ and told to ‘try harder, be more organized’. Often the characteristics of ADHD were poorly understood and ‘missed’. Many of us will have been criticised – “You’re not stupid, why can’t you just focus!’. If this has been your experience, you might have come into adulthood wondering if there is something ‘wrong’ with you, and resolving to put in more effort to make up for it. This can either make no difference, or can lead to burnout, anxiety and low mood.
Many clients have told us that a diagnosis has been highly validating, helping them to understand and accept the person they are, and enabling them to make positive choices about how they move forward in life. We offer a ‘gold-standard’ comprehensive private assessment using the most up-to-date psychometric tools and findings. But we don’t just diagnose – we work to help clients move forward with recommendations, supporting them to make changes in their lives that will foster positive mental health. Our goal is to help clients embrace and maximise their strengths, while making it easier to face the challenges that come their way. That’s why all our ADHD assessments include a full session for feedback and strategy work as standard.
We use National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and Royal College of Psychiatrists guidelines to provide an ADHD assessment and diagnosis that is comprehensive and takes into account all the factors that could impact an individual’s experience and presentation.
Once the assessment is concluded, you are welcome to book back in with us when needed for further strategy support and/or to access psychological therapy as needed.
Please note, as a clinic of psychologists we do not prescribe medication but we can offer some names and contact details of potential prescribers should this be your choice.
