Find answers that make sense
Have you always felt different but struggled to explain why? Does everyday life seem harder than it should? Perhaps you've spent years masking, pushing through, or wondering whether anxiety, burnout, or stress never fully explain your experiences.
For some people, these patterns have been present since childhood. Others begin recognising them later in life.
A comprehensive autism and ADHD assessment helps identify neurodevelopmental differences, understand your strengths and challenges, and provide practical recommendations to support your next steps.

Is assessment the right step?
Not sure whether an autism or ADHD assessment is right for you? Begin with an initial consultation, which is the first step in the assessment process.
This session can be booked on its own with no obligation to proceed with a full assessment.
Before consultation, you will complete an intake form and pre-assessment questionnaires. The session will explore your experiences and goals.
This consultation can help you:
-
Decide whether assessment is the right next step
-
Understand the assessment process and available options
-
Clarify your goals and the type of report that best suits your needs
-
Know what to expect moving forward
The consultation fee is credited toward a full assessment if you decide to proceed.
