Understanding yourself is the first step. Finding the right support comes next.
At Clinical Partners, we offer ADHD assessments, medication support, and talking therapies tailored to you. Our approach focuses on clarity, practical next steps, and support that fits real life.
ADHD assessments
What is an ADHD assessment?
An ADHD assessment explores how attention, focus, activity levels, impulsivity, and emotional regulation show up in your day to day life. It helps identify whether your experiences fit the diagnostic criteria for ADHD.
Our assessments are led by experienced clinicians who specialise in ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions. They will explore your life experiences, strengths, and challenges, and how these have affected you over time. Where possible, this should include input from someone who knows you well.
As part of the process, clinicians consider the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, which include patterns linked to:
Inattention, such as losing track of tasks, difficulty sustaining focus, or disorganisation
Hyperactivity and impulsivity, such as restlessness, acting on impulse, or finding it hard to pause and think before responding
Our clinicians explore these areas through detailed conversation and structured clinical questioning. The goal is to help you understand yourself better and leave with clarity.
Why might I want an assessment?
Adults seek ADHD assessments for many different reasons.
You might:
Feel overwhelmed by organisation, timekeeping, or day to day responsibilities
Notice long standing patterns of procrastination, distraction, or impulsive decisions
Feel mentally restless, exhausted, or “switched on” all the time
Be managing anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems alongside these difficulties
Want clarity to help you ask for support or reasonable adjustments at work or in education
An assessment can help you make sense of your experiences, identify what is driving them, and understand what support might make daily life easier.
“It’s completely normal to feel worried, but seeking an assessment is a positive and important step. Understanding how your brain works, improving your wellbeing and finding ways to manage challenges more effectively will lead to a happier life.”

ADHD medication support
Some people find medication helpful as part of an ADHD management plan. It can support focus, reduce restlessness, and make it easier to use practical strategies consistently. The decision to consider medication is a personal one and it is always discussed carefully with a clinician.
We offer a specialist ADHD medication service with ongoing clinical support.
This service is available if you received your ADHD diagnosis with us, or if you had your assessment with another provider and your report meets our clinical standards.
We begin with an initial medication appointment, followed by a series of follow up appointments over a number of months to help you find the right medication and dose for you. We then move to annual reviews, to check the medication is still safe, effective, and the right fit as your needs change over time.
Talking therapies
Many adults with ADHD find talking therapy helpful, especially when it is adapted to how their attention and processing work.
Therapy is not about changing who you are. It is a space to understand patterns, reduce stress, and build practical tools that make life feel more manageable.
