Online Adult ADHD assessment
If you’ve been wondering whether you might be experiencing Adult ADHD — or whether your challenges overlap with traits from other personality or mood-related disorders — our online Adult ADHD assessment offers a confidential, accessible way to gain clarity. Led by registered psychologists, the process helps identify attention, focus, and organisation patterns, understand how these symptoms affect your daily life, and explore whether other personality traits or conditions may also be contributing. You’ll receive a clear understanding of your experiences and practical guidance on the next steps for support.
What an Online Adult ADHD Assessment Involves
-
Confidential Video Consultation
Your assessment begins with a clinical assessment during a 50-minute private video session. Your psychologist will determine which array of screeners and assessments will be most suitable and are delivered securely online, designed to protect your privacy while giving your psychologist the information they need. This step ensures the assessment starts with accurate background information about your attention patterns, daily challenges, and any traits that may overlap with other personality or mood-related disorders.
-
Discussion of your experiences
You’ll have the chance to talk through your day-to-day experiences — including difficulties with focus, organisation, motivation, impulsivity, time management, or emotional regulation. This conversation gives your psychologist essential context and helps them understand how your symptoms impact your work, relationships, and routines. It also helps differentiate Adult ADHD from traits linked to other personality or mood conditions.
-
Use of validated assessment tool/s
Your psychologist will use evidence-based measures specifically designed to assess Adult ADHD and distinguish it from other disorders with similar symptoms. These structured tools help clarify the nature, severity, and consistency of your challenges across different areas of life. Using validated assessments ensures your results are accurate, reliable, and grounded in recognised clinical frameworks.
-
Feedback and recommendations
After the assessment, your psychologist will explain the findings in clear, supportive language. You’ll learn whether your symptoms align with Adult ADHD, whether other personality or mood-related traits may be contributing, and what the recommended next steps are. This may include therapy options, coping strategies, or referrals to a psychiatrist for medication and formal assessment. The goal is to give you clarity and a practical, actionable path forward.
