Do you think you could be neurodivergent?

Difficulties with focus, organisation, or social communication can affect all of us at times but for some people, these challenges are ongoing and can impact every area of life.

You may find it hard to concentrate, finish tasks or manage your time effectively. You might notice that you become easily distracted, lose track of conversations, or struggle to stay motivated. Others may describe you as “always on the go” or “in your own world.” For some, social interactions can feel confusing or exhausting, and changes in routine can be particularly difficult to manage.

Many adults and children live with these experiences for years without realising they may be related to ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Often, this can lead to feelings of frustration, low confidence, or anxiety, especially when daily life feels harder than it should be.

Getting a professional assessment can help you understand yourself, or your child, more clearly. It can provide clarity about lifelong patterns of thinking, behaviour and emotional regulation.

What does an assessment involve?

An ADHD and Autism assessment can be carried out in both children and adults. An assessment would include:

  • A detailed developmental and clinical interview
  • Standardised assessment tools
  • Feedback and recommendations tailored to your needs

What would I gain from having an assessment?

Understanding whether ADHD or Autism may be present is the first step toward self-awareness, effective support and meaningful change.

Our aim is to help you move forward with clarity and confidence, whether that means accessing workplace or educational adjustments, exploring therapy options or simply gaining a deeper understanding of yourself.
