Experience an Accurate and Private ADHD Assessment

At AuDHD Psychiatry,

We specialise in providing adult ADHD assessment for those seeking clarity around attention, focus, and executive function.

Our process is clinically structured and personalised to your mental health needs.

Many adults pursue a private ADHD diagnosis to avoid long NHS waiting times, gain quicker access to support, or explore long-standing symptoms.

These symptoms may include restlessness, difficulty concentrating, or emotional regulation challenges.

If this sounds like you, continue below to learn how our specialist clinicians provide accurate ADHD diagnosis and develop an ongoing care plan personalised to your needs.

ADHD Testing Options: Private vs NHS

Choosing between a private ADHD test and the NHS pathway can significantly affect your experience, timeline, and outcomes.

NHS ADHD Testing

  • Free, but extended wait times – Most adults face long waiting lists, often taking months or years.
  • Requires a GP referral – Self-referral is not allowed.
  • Limited follow-up – Depending on your region, post-diagnosis support may be inconsistent.
  • Not all specialist-led appointments – Services may be managed by general mental health teams.

Private, Adult ADHD Assessment

  • Faster access – Private ADHD testing is typically available within a few weeks.
  • No referral required – Adults can self-refer for a confidential, streamlined experience.
  • Personalised support – Assessments are longer, more tailored, and led by ADHD specialist clinicians.
  • Accepted for official documentation – Private ADHD diagnosis reports can be used for workplace accommodations, university support, and ADHD treatment planning.

Do I have Adult ADHD?

Many adults reach their 20s, 30s, or even 50s before realising they may have ADHD. Often, their symptoms were masked, misdiagnosed (as anxiety, depression, or even laziness), or dismissed entirely.

You might be wondering:

  • Why do I feel overwhelmed by simple tasks?
  • Why can’t I stay organised no matter how hard I try?
  • Why do I zone out in meetings — even when I care?
  • Why do I always interrupt people without meaning to?


These may be signs of undiagnosed ADHD.

  • Improved Outcomes – Use your diagnostic report to access ongoing support, workplace accommodations, or treatment.

The Assessment Process

ADHD assessments at AuDHD Psychiatry follow a structured clinical pathway to ensure clarity and accuracy at every stage:

A clinician conducts an in-depth interview to gather background details on your symptoms, personal history, and overall mental health. This sets the foundation for a tailored evaluation.

We assess ADHD based on DSM-5 diagnostic guidelines. To meet criteria, symptoms must:

  • Begin before the age of 12
  • Appear in multiple settings (e.g., home, work, school)
  • Interfere with your social, academic, or occupational functioning

Your clinician may use structured ADHD screening tools, rating scales, and standardised, validated questionnaires. These help clarify attention-related symptoms and support a reliable assessment outcome letter.

ADHD Assessment for Adults

ADHD can manifest differently in adults than in children. It’s often more internalised and entangled with work, relationships, and mental health.

Many adults spend years struggling with symptoms like poor focus, restlessness, and emotional dysregulation without recognising them as signs of ADHD.

A professional ADHD assessment for adults helps bring clarity.

Our structured assessments are tailored to adult experiences, including those who were previously misdiagnosed or have co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression.

Choosing an ADHD diagnosis private route allows adults to skip long NHS waiting times and access expert-led care on their own terms.

With ADHD in adults testing, you gain more than a diagnosis. You receive a personalised understanding of how ADHD affects your life and a path forward.

Finding the Right ADHD Specialist for You

Working with the right ADHD specialist can significantly impact the accuracy of your diagnosis and the quality of your care.

While many professionals offer general mental health assessments, adults benefit most from seeing an ADHD psychiatrist or clinician with experience diagnosing and treating adults.

A qualified ADHD specialist UK should have training in neurodevelopmental conditions, use validated tools such as the DIVA-5, and understand how ADHD symptoms evolve with age.

At AuDHD Psychiatry, our assessments are delivered by UK-registered ADHD doctors and specialists who understand the nuances of adult presentations, including those who mask or overcompensate.

Opting for a psychiatrist ADHD assessment ensures your care is grounded in medical expertise. This approach provides the foundation for treatment planning, medication options, and long-term support.
