ADHD Assessments for Adults

ADHD assessment for adults

Struggling with focus, forgetfulness, or restlessness? You’re not alone. ADHD isn’t just something children experience. Many adults live with undiagnosed ADHD for years, and getting a proper assessment can be a turning point.

At PLE Health, we offer private ADHD assessments for adults, designed to give you clarity, support, and a clear path forward.

What is ADHD?

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) affects how you focus, manage time, and regulate emotions. In adults, it often looks different than in children. You might find it hard to stay organised, meet deadlines, or control impulsive decisions. You may also struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, or burnout.

You don’t need to “tick every box” to seek help. ADHD can show up in many ways and an assessment can help you understand how it affects you.

What the assessment involves

Many adults come to us after years of feeling overwhelmed. They might have coped well in school or work, but still feel something isn’t right. Others are referred by a therapist, GP, or employer.

Getting assessed can help you:

  • Understand your challenges more clearly

  • Access appropriate treatment or support

  • Gain peace of mind, whether or not you receive a diagnosis

Why get assessed?

An ADHD assessment for adults usually includes:

  • A detailed interview with a qualified psychologist

  • Questions about your current symptoms and history

  • Screening tools and diagnostic criteria

  • A chance to talk openly about your experiences

The assessment is confidential and tailored to you. You’ll receive a clear report with any findings and recommendations.

What happens next?

If ADHD is diagnosed, we’ll help you understand the options available. These may include:

  • Talking therapies such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

  • Coaching or support with routines and time management

  • Referral to a medical professional for medication review

If ADHD isn’t diagnosed, we’ll still offer helpful insights and recommendations to support your mental health.
