Do you think you might have ADHD or Autism?

I’ll complete a comprehensive assessment, sorting out any significant medical or mental health issues we find along the way

If you have not previously been diagnosed with ADHD & have previously trialed ADHD medication…
…I’d recommend you book 2 x 60 min assessment appointments 5 weeks apart,
…I’d suggest a further no-obligation 30 min follow up appointment 4 weeks later, to make sure things are going well

If you HAVE previously been prescribed ADHD stimulant medication…
…then we’ll need 1 x 60 minute appointment to understand where you’re up to with everything
…I’d suggest a no-obligation 30 min follow-up appointment 4 weeks later, in case we need to follow up

We’ll need a 60 minute appointment to get started. I’ll get to know you, establish if you likely have ADHD & give you some forms to take home. We often might trial some non-stimulant medication if there are any issues that we uncover that might benefit from medication if you feel comfortable with the idea.

In our second appointment, we’ll go over the initial tests, any school reports, go over anything we didn’t get through in day 2 and form a concrete & collaborative treatment plan.

Typically, after the initial assessment appointments, we’ll only need 30 minute follow-up appointments going forward.

…I’d recommend touching base with me again in the weeks after diagnosis to debrief, certainly no more than a month after the first time.

There’s often a lot to unpack, and sometimes it’s surprising how much guilt or loss one can sometimes feel after a diagnosis of ADHD. I’ll walk with you through any hard times.

Given my waitlist, I’d recommend booking 2-3 appointments in advance at monthly intervals. If we’ve nailed it before then, we can always cancel them. I can always put extra appointments to good use.

Living with ADHD is a lifelong endeavour, and the better you understand what that means, your strengths and weaknesses, and why your brain does what it does, the better you’ll be. I’ll help to fill in the blanks, and help you structure your life to make it more ADHD-friendly.

Medication often helps a lot with ADHD - but often it’s not as simple as just starting and that’s it. I’ll help you adjust, troubleshoot, and then optimise.
