Understanding Adult ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that often continues into adulthood, affecting focus, organisation, time management, and emotional regulation. Many adults may have lived for years without a formal diagnosis, developing coping strategies to manage work, relationships, and daily life. At Oasis Psychological Services, we offer private ADHD assessments in Kent to help you understand your experiences, identify strengths, and provide clarity on challenges that may have impacted your personal and professional life.
Our Adult ADHD Assessment Process
Embarking on an assessment for ADHD as an adult can feel daunting, but our approach is supportive, thorough, sensitive, and personalised. The process typically includes:
Initial Screening
We begin with questionnaires for you and someone who knows you well, such as a partner or close friend, to gather insight into your childhood and current behaviour patterns. If this is not possible, we can work with other sources, including historical reports or educational records.
Comprehensive Assessment
Your assessment will be carried out by an experienced Clinical Psychologist in a comfortable, private setting. This includes structured interviews, symptom questionnaires (e.g., DIVA-5), and computerised tasks like the QbCheck to measure attention, activity levels, and impulse control. Our clinicians take a holistic approach, exploring your strengths, challenges, and life experiences.
Feedback and Recommendations
Following the assessment, we provide a detailed discussion of the findings, framed against DSM-5 criteria. You will receive a comprehensive written report outlining the assessment outcome, potential ADHD diagnosis, and recommendations for support, including therapy options or workplace strategies.
Follow-Up Support
We offer a follow-up session to discuss the report, answer questions, and support you in planning next steps. Our goal is to ensure you leave with a clear understanding and practical strategies tailored to your needs.
