RCI REGISTERED · 19+ YEARS EXPERIENCE · CONFIDENTIAL

ADHD screening offers a professional assessment of attention, executive function, and ADHD-related symptoms for both children and adults. The process draws on validated tools — including Conners’ rating scales, the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS), and DSM-5 criteria — combined with clinical interview and developmental history.,Adult ADHD is very commonly missed, particularly in women and in high-functioning individuals who developed coping strategies that masked the underlying difficulties. We also screen for common comorbidities like anxiety, mood difficulties, and learning differences that often co-occur. You’ll leave the assessment with clear findings, psychoeducation about what’s happening, and personalised recommendations — therapy, coaching, workplace adjustments, or referral for medical review where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ADHD screening involve?

A clinical interview, validated rating scales (like Conners’ or ASRS), review of developmental history, and where helpful, input from people who know you well. The process typically takes 2–3 appointments.

Will I get a formal diagnosis?

A screening identifies whether ADHD is likely and provides a clinical impression. Where appropriate, we can refer for or coordinate with formal medical diagnosis (which a psychiatrist must confirm if medication is involved).

Can adults have ADHD if it wasn't picked up in childhood?

Yes — adult ADHD is very common and often missed in childhood, particularly in women and high-achievers who developed coping strategies that masked symptoms.

How long does the screening take?

Most assessments take 2–3 sessions across 1–2 weeks. You’ll receive a clinical impression and recommendations at the end.

What happens after the assessment?

You’ll be given a clear summary of findings and personalised recommendations — these may include therapy, coaching strategies, workplace adjustments, or referral for medical review.

Can children be screened for ADHD?

Yes. We adapt the process for children, including parent and (with consent) teacher input. The assessment is age-appropriate.

Will I need medication if I have ADHD?

Medication is one option, but not the only one. Many people benefit from therapy, coaching, and lifestyle adjustments — sometimes alongside medication, sometimes instead.
