ADHD assessment
For the pattern that has been there as long as you can remember. A full assessment in JLT, over several appointments, ending in a written report.

- Where
- The clinic in JLT
- Languages
- English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu
- Before booking
- A short screening
A free 15-minute call
Informal, and with a licensed psychologist. Three or four broad questions about what has been going on — enough to point you at the right person, not enough to need preparing for.
A screening first
Before anything is booked, a screening establishes whether an ADHD assessment is the right thing to be doing at all. It sometimes ends with a different suggestion.
The assessment itself
Clinical interviews, validated measures, developmental history, and the other things that can look like ADHD or sit alongside it. Several appointments rather than one afternoon.
A written report
Written in line with professional and regulatory requirements, setting out what was assessed and what was found.
What it looks at
- Attention and concentration
- Impulsivity
- Restlessness, outwardly or in your head
- Organisation, and putting things off
- Emotional regulation
- Whether ADHD explains any of it

Questions people ask
The ones that come up most often before a first appointment.
Sometimes. A parent, partner or someone who has known you a long time may be asked to contribute, because an assessment looks back further than you can always see yourself. You would know about it in advance.
No. Nobody at Resonate prescribes. If medication looks like part of what would help, a referral can be made to a psychiatrist outside the practice — what they decide is theirs to decide.
