Understanding Adult ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental profile that often continues into adulthood, shaping focus, organisation, time awareness, and emotional regulation. Many adults live for years without a diagnosis, developing ways to cope at work, in relationships, and in daily life without fully understanding why certain tasks feel so demanding. At Oasis Psychological Services, we provide private ADHD assessments in Kent to help adults make sense of their experiences, recognise strengths, and gain clarity around challenges that may have affected both personal and professional life.
Our Adult ADHD Assessment Process
Taking the step towards an assessment can feel overwhelming. Our adult ADHD assessment in Kent is designed to feel supportive, respectful, and carefully paced, guided by NICE recommendations and clinical expertise.
Initial Screening
The process begins with detailed questionnaires exploring both childhood and current experiences. Where possible, someone who knows you well, such as a partner, sibling, or close friend, is invited to contribute. If this is not an option, we consider alternative sources such as school reports, previous assessments, or written reflections.
Comprehensive Assessment
Your assessment is carried out by an experienced Clinical Psychologist in a private and comfortable setting. This includes structured diagnostic interviews, validated questionnaires such as the DIVA-5, and objective measures including the QbCheck, which looks at attention, activity levels, and impulsivity. We take time to understand your wider life context, patterns of coping, and individual strengths alongside areas of difficulty.
Feedback and Recommendations
After the assessment, we meet with you to talk through the findings in a clear and thoughtful way, referenced against DSM-5 criteria. You will receive a detailed written report outlining the outcome, whether ADHD is identified, and personalised recommendations. These may relate to therapy options, workplace adjustments, or practical strategies for everyday life.
Follow-Up Support
A follow-up session is offered to discuss the report in more depth, answer questions, and support planning next steps. Our aim is to ensure you leave the process with understanding, reassurance, and practical direction.
