ADHD Assessment Newcastle

• What they offer / teach

  Comprehensive adult ADHD assessments carried out by HCPC-registered clinical psychologists, including clinical interviews, validated questionnaires and a detailed diagnostic report (usually 25+ pages) recognised by universities and employers. They also provide post-diagnostic guidance including discussion of medication options and onward referral, plus recommendations for workplace or academic adjustments. A free 15-minute consultation call and a free online adult ADHD screening tool are also offered.

• Ages served

  The service is for adults; the page repeatedly refers to "ADHD assessments for adults" and adult clients, but no specific minimum or maximum age is given.

• Approach

  Assessments are evidence-based, tailored to the individual and structured: an initial appointment exploring background and current challenges, a diagnostic appointment where two psychologists carry out a structured assessment (with training in the DIVA 2.0 diagnostic interview), then feedback and a report. Psychologists say they aim to make the process clear, supportive, collaborative and validating, building a warm therapeutic relationship, and they also consider other mental health factors that may be contributing to difficulties. Assessments are available online or in person.

• Admissions

  Prospective clients contact the service to arrange a free 15-minute no-obligation consultation call with a psychologist to discuss their situation and the assessment process. If they wish to proceed, questionnaires are sent to complete before the assessment. The page notes they are not part of the NHS Right to Choose scheme.

• Cost

  The full ADHD assessment is £995, including over 10 hours of specialist psychologist time, two psychologist assessment sessions, a feedback appointment and a recognised diagnostic report. The initial 15-minute consultation call and the online ADHD screening tool are free.
