Do You Have Adult ADHD?
Are you or a loved one struggling with symptoms consistent with ADHD? You're not alone. I specialise in helping neurodiverse adults to gain the clarity and self-understanding they need to move forward and reach their full potential in the areas that matter most to them.
What Is Adult ADHD?
Adult ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects approximately 4% of adults. It is characterised by difficulties with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms often manifest in different ways for adults compared to children, making it challenging for some clinicians without specialist training to identify it. Sometimes ADHD is mistaken for mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder, or missed altogether.
Diagnosing Adult ADHD
If you suspect that you or a loved one may have adult ADHD, it is essential to find an expert with the training and knowledge to give you an accurate diagnosis. A comprehensive assessment process involves gathering information from self-report questionnaires and a clinical interview lasting approximately two hours, alongside other supporting evidence.
Adult ADHD Diagnosis With An Experienced Clinical Psychologist
As a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with experience in diagnosing and treating adults with ADHD, I am qualified to provide expert ADHD assessment.
What is a HCPC Registered Clinical Psychologist?
A HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) registered clinical psychologist is a highly trained professional who has completed a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and has also undergone additional training to become specialised in the assessment and treatment of mental health disorders, including ADHD. They are regulated by the HCPC, which ensures that they meet certain standards of proficiency, conduct, and ethics.
Adults with ADHD may also experience co-occuring mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression or trauma-related symptoms. A HCPC registered clinical psychologist has the expertise to identify these co-occurring conditions, providing a comprehensive approach to assessment and treatment.
