What to expect, step by step.
A clear walkthrough of how an ADHD assessment with ADHD Resolve unfolds, from your first decision to your final report.
The pace is yours
Fast or steady, you choose.
Some people move through the whole process in a few weeks. Others prefer to take their time over each stage. There are no waiting lists, so you decide the speed that works for you.
Tried and trusted
The same process, over 500 times.
This is the process I have followed across more than 500 assessments. It is thorough, unbiased and aligned with NICE guidelines: a clear answer, without unnecessary complication.
Simple, clear stages
From first decision to report in hand.
Each stage has a clear purpose: combining structure, clinical depth and enough space for your story to be properly understood.
Deciding who you want to work with.
The most important decision is not which clinic is cheapest or nearest. It is who you choose to conduct a detailed conversation about your mind, your history, and the patterns that may have shaped your life for many years.
Choosing the right person matters. Take your time. Read about the clinician. Listen to how they talk about ADHD. When you feel ready, come back.
Getting in touch.
If you choose ADHD Resolve, it starts with one free 15-minute consultation call. Ask any questions you still have, or simply get a sense of speaking with me before committing. There's no obligation and no pressure to continue.
You can book the call in seconds using the calendar at the bottom of this page.
Reserving your time.
Choose a slot that suits you from the online booking system. Evenings and weekends are available, with no waiting list. The complete assessment is £775, with everything included and nothing sold as an extra. A £500 deposit is paid at the time of booking; the remaining £275 follows later in the process. Once confirmed, your slot is held for you.
Completing your pre-assessment materials.
Shortly after booking, you will receive the pre-assessment materials by secure email. These include a symptom form, screening questionnaires, and the information needed to complete the QB check, the objective computerised attention test included as standard, not sold separately.
These tools help us make the best use of the clinical appointment. They allow the interview to focus on your story, your history, and how ADHD-related difficulties show up in real life.
The assessment itself.
A video-call link arrives in your inbox in plenty of time. You join from wherever you feel most comfortable. The interview lasts around ninety minutes and is led personally by me, an HCPC-registered clinical psychologist fully qualified to diagnose ADHD.
It follows a structured, NICE-aligned format, covering DSM-5-TR criteria, your developmental history, your current functioning, and the wider context around your difficulties. There is structure, but also room for the conversation to breathe.
If you remember something afterwards that you meant to mention, you are welcome to email it through. Nothing is lost by adding it later.
Clinical processing behind the scenes.
Between your interview and feedback appointment, I work carefully through the information gathered. Your history, the QB check data, the questionnaire scores, and the interview itself are considered together as one clinical picture.
If anything is inconsistent, or if I need further information to be confident in the conclusion, I will contact you to clarify this before we meet again.
The feedback appointment.
We meet again online to walk through the findings together, as part of the single fee. This is where a diagnosis, or a decision not to diagnose, becomes something you can actually understand and use. Not everyone assessed receives an ADHD diagnosis; if ADHD isn't the primary issue, I'll say so clearly and point you toward what might help instead.
We talk about what was found, how ADHD may intersect with other parts of your daily life, what it all means in practice, and where you might choose to go next. Partners or family members are welcome to join if that would help.
Your report and next directions.
A detailed written diagnostic report follows within approximately two weeks of your assessment. It is the formal document you can share with your GP, employer, university, or another relevant professional.
Alongside the report you will receive clear guidance on practical next steps, including psychological support, workplace or study adjustments, and ADHD-informed strategies. If medication is something you want to explore, I refer you to a trusted prescriber, and I don't profit from that choice, which keeps the assessment unbiased.
From the first call to the final report, the aim is the same: a clear, honest, evidence-based understanding of how your mind works.
