Private ADHD Assessments

Private Medical Clinic offers a triage assessment to determine whether a full diagnostic assessment of ADHD is warranted.

The triage assessment involves completion of screening questionnaires.

It’s best to have someone who has known you well for a long time—like a parent, sibling, close friend, partner, or employer—help you with the questions. Their perspective is important since some questions will address your early development and school history.

Next is a follow-up video call with a clinical psychiatrist. This will provide an opportunity for discussion around the reason for referral and your current strengths and needs.

Together, you will also review the outcome of the screening questionnaires and by the end of the call, a decision can be made about whether a full ADHD assessment is required.

Following the screening appointment, our full diagnostic assessment uses a combination of standardised assessment measures and clinical interviews to gather information relevant to your assessment.

The full assessment can be performed via video call or in person at our London clinic.

Where indicated, the clinical psychologist may choose to use the Qb check. The result of this computer test provides objective data for the clinician to consider alongside other information gathered.

The clinical psychologist leading your assessment will then review all of the information that has been gathered to confirm the outcome of the assessment, which they will share with your during a follow-up feedback appointment. A comprehensive diagnostic report, including recommendations, will follow.

We don’t just stop at diagnosing ADHD; we also aim to understand the functional impact of the condition and screen for any co-occurring disorders that may be present. This holistic approach allows us to provide tailored treatment plans that address the full spectrum of your needs.
