Important information

This is a clinical assessment, not a screening quiz. It follows DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria.

We take a multi-informant approach. We'll ask you to involve a parent, partner, or someone who knows you well.

If you're under 18, a parent or guardian must consent to the assessment.

Assessment is private pay. You pay per assessment block, not per hour. Pricing is discussed during your initial inquiry.

We can prescribe ADHD medication if clinically appropriate. Ongoing prescribing may be coordinated with your GP.
