You are
more than
an assessment.
Specialist adult ADHD assessment for people with demanding lives.
Arranged discreetly and conducted online by GMC-registered consultant psychiatrists with more than twenty years of psychiatric experience. Appointments are typically available within one week, subject to clinician availability.
You may have become very good at compensating.
Many adults who come to us have spent years — sometimes decades — finding ways around difficulties they could never quite name. Working longer hours than the work should need. Building elaborate systems to stay organised. Relying on adrenaline and last-minute pressure to begin.
From the outside, this can look like success. From the inside, it often feels like running to stand still.
If any of this is familiar, it may be worth asking why — not because something is wrong with you, but because understanding how your mind works changes what you can do with it.

A diagnosis deserves more than a checklist.
An ADHD assessment should never be a tick-box exercise. The same difficulties can arise from many causes, and a conclusion reached too quickly helps no one.
That is why every assessment we arrange is conducted by an experienced consultant psychiatrist — someone trained to look beyond the questionnaire: at your history, your circumstances, your strengths, and the wider picture of your mental health.
The aim is not simply to reach a conclusion. It is to understand you well enough that the conclusion means something.
High responsibility does not make you immune.
Doctors, lawyers, executives and academics often carry their difficulties quietly for years — because they can. Capability and difficulty are not opposites; they frequently coexist in the same person, in the same working week.
We understand what is at stake when your professional reputation matters. Enquiries are handled discreetly, appointments fit around demanding diaries, and your information is handled in accordance with strict professional standards of confidentiality.
When university changes the equation.
School provides structure. University removes it — and for some students, that is when long-standing difficulties with concentration, deadlines and organisation finally become impossible to work around.
If your performance has become puzzlingly inconsistent — brilliant one week, paralysed the next — an assessment can provide a clear answer and, where appropriate, a report that supports applications for reasonable adjustments.
An honest assessment looks wider.
ADHD is not the only explanation.
Difficulties with attention, organisation and follow-through can also arise from anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, chronic stress and burnout — and these can overlap with ADHD itself.
Part of a serious assessment is knowing what else it might be. Our clinicians weigh these possibilities carefully, so that whatever the outcome, it is the right one.
A considered process.
