ADHD Assessment
ADHD Assessment
I offer assessment and therapy informed coaching to young people, adults and families living with ADHD.
The assessment includes pre-assessment questionnaires gathering information about symptoms, daily experience and medical history, an initial consultation (online) which will take 80 -90 minutes, where we will get to know each other, hear about strengths, abilities and resources as well as explore your main concerns and expectations.
You will receive a clear diagnosis along with a comprehensive and a detailed report outlining the findings with detailed recommendations for support strategies that may include coaching, therapy or lifestyle/school adjustments.
If you think it would be helpful to think about medication, I will recommend you meet with a psychiatrist.
