Private ADHD Assessment for Adults

The 50 minute ADHD Assessment is recommended for patients who already have a diagnosis of ADHD. It involves completing pre-assessment questionnaires to gather information about the patient’s experiences, followed by a 50 minute session with a Consultant Psychiatrist to discuss the questionnaire results, as well as the patient’s history and current challenges.
80 minute assessment appointment £595
The 80 minute ADHD assessment is recommended for individuals with suspected ADHD who have not received a previous clinical diagnosis from a Psychiatrist. Pre-assessment questionnaires are used to gather information about your experiences, followed by an in-depth discussion with a Consultant Psychiatrist about the results. Treatment options can be explored in a separate appointment.
About Our Private ADHD Assessment
Our Adult ADHD Assessment UK offers a comprehensive evaluation designed to provide clarity and support. For individuals with a prior ADHD diagnosis and a full clinical assessment report, we focus on establishing or re-establishing a treatment plan during a 50-minute consultation.
If ADHD is suspected but there is no previous diagnosis, we conduct an 80-minute private ADHD assessment to thoroughly evaluate and diagnose. Pre-assessment questionnaires are used to gain insight into your life experiences, ensuring a personalised and accurate process. Following the assessment, you will receive a detailed clinical letter outlining the findings and recommendations.
Follow-up appointments are available to explore treatment options, including medical approaches and psychological therapies. For children and teens, our specialised ADHD assessment for kids provides parents with guidance and a tailored plan to support their child’s needs.
For those seeking additional support, we also offer services like online therapy and private psychology. If needed, our private psychiatrist can provide expert guidance. For related conditions, such as autism, our Autism Assessment may also be beneficial.

ADHD Symptoms in Adults
Understanding ADHD in Adults
Adult ADHD affects attention, organisation and impulse control. Although symptoms begin in childhood, many people are only diagnosed later in life.
Adults with ADHD often describe long-standing challenges with concentration, planning tasks and managing daily responsibilities.
Common Symptoms
Difficulty concentrating
Many adults with ADHD struggle to sustain attention during tasks such as reading, meetings or administrative work.
Disorganisation
Managing schedules, deadlines and responsibilities can feel overwhelming.
Impulsivity
Impulsivity may appear as interrupting others, making quick decisions or acting without thinking.
Restlessness
Adults often experience an internal sense of restlessness rather than obvious physical hyperactivity.
Emotional Effects
ADHD can also affect emotional regulation.
Some people experience:
frustration or impatience
mood fluctuations
sensitivity to criticism
difficulty managing stress
These challenges can impact relationships and work performance.
ADHD in Women
ADHD in women is often under-recognised.
Symptoms may include:
chronic overwhelm
difficulty organising responsibilities
persistent anxiety
challenges balancing multiple demands
Because symptoms can appear less disruptive than in childhood ADHD presentations, diagnosis may occur later in life.
When to Seek an Assessment
If symptoms significantly affect work, relationships or daily life, a professional assessment may help clarify whether ADHD is present.
At Psymplicity, assessments are conducted through secure Zoom consultations, allowing patients to speak with a specialist psychiatrist remotely.

How is ADHD treated?
Adult ADHD can be treated in many ways, from psychiatric therapy to medical treatment. At Psymplicity Healthcare, we adopt a holistic approach that puts your wellbeing first. We’ll develop a tailored plan that takes your circumstances, medical history and any underlying conditions into account, initiating treatment that helps you live a balanced life, not disrupts you further.
What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder characterised by persistent distractibility, impulsivity and hyperactivity. In adults, ADHD affects the function of complex mental processes such as concentration, motivation, problem-solving, working memory and sustained attention, making everyday life a challenge.
At Psymplicity, we follow a client-focused approach, putting your mental wellbeing above all else to provide you with the personalised care and attention you need. Following a private ADHD assessment of your unique needs and circumstances, we will develop a bespoke treatment plan that will enable you to manage the condition effectively. ADHD can be a challenging condition to live with, but we can help you overcome its restrictive limitations and improve your overall quality of life.
What Are the Symptoms of Adult ADHD?
Adult ADHD symptoms begin in childhood, but they are less evident with age and can vary in severity. The symptoms an individual might experience are unique to them, as is the level of impairment caused by the condition.
Do you:
- Struggle to concentrate for extended periods?
- Constantly feel hyperactive and restless?
- Feel disorganised, struggling to plan, prioritise tasks and manage your time?
- Have an inability to multitask and complete mundane, everyday tasks?
- Have poor attention to detail?
- Lack patience, leading you to be impulsive?
- Find it difficult, if not impossible, to make decisions?
- Have regular bouts of forgetfulness, even fogginess?
- Struggle to focus?
These are just some of the most frequently experienced symptoms of ADHD in adults. In addition to the above, you might also face high levels of stress and anxiety, which can cause you to suffer low self-esteem and insecurity. You might constantly be doubting yourself, even berating yourself for not being able to complete tasks or concentrate.
Attempts to explain your symptoms to others can sometimes fall on deaf ears. You know that it’s not a simple case of lacking motivation — because you wish it wasn’t like this.
At Psymplicity Healthcare, we understand, and we’re here to help. Following a thorough adhd assessment for adults we analyse your symptoms – including their frequency and duration, as well as your medical history. We can diagnose adult ADHD and help relieve you of the baggage of living with your symptoms and all the ways they affect your career, relationships and ability to do what seems like even the simplest of tasks. For younger clients, we also offer an ADHD assessment for a child, helping families find the support they need. We’re not only here to listen and understand; we’re here to help.

Do Think You Have ADHD?
We all feel disoriented, forgetful, and stressed at times, and we’ve all experienced those afternoons when concentration starts to flag, and even sending an email feels like a huge hurdle. However, in most cases, these symptoms are indicative of something else entirely. ADHD is only diagnosed when the symptoms have been consistent (typically starting in early childhood) and regularly cause significant disruptions in multiple areas of life.
An adult with ADHD would consistently lack the ability to focus their attention and display impulsive and hyperactive symptoms. This can be assessed through a thorough ADHD assessment, which identifies how these symptoms affect their ability to function, perform, and develop. Such challenges often limit their ability to concentrate on complex or tedious tasks, significantly impacting personal and academic achievements. Adults with ADHD may feel as though they are driven by a motor trying to run too many processes, which then slows and becomes sluggish before they can complete what they started.
In some cases, ADHD symptoms may overlap with other conditions, making a holistic approach essential. For those seeking clarity, assessments like a Child Autism Test or Adult Autism Assessment can provide insights into underlying challenges. Additionally, mental health tests like the Depression Test, Anxiety Test, or OCD Test are available to help pinpoint specific concerns.
For families navigating these complexities, Family Therapy or Relationship Counselling may help improve communication and strengthen bonds. On an individual level, services such as CBT Therapy, Psychotherapy, or Bereavement Counselling offer tailored support for emotional challenges.
For those preferring remote care, Online Therapy is an accessible option to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. If eating disorders or bipolar disorder are of concern, our assessments for Eating Disorders or a Bipolar Disorder Test can help diagnose and guide treatment.
With personalised support from services like Counselling and comprehensive mental health evaluations, Psymplicity Healthcare is here to guide you through every step of your journey to better mental health.
