Comprehensive ADHD Assessments
for Adults at Evolving Minds Counselling
We offer comprehensive assessment and intervention services for adults with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Our team of highly qualified clinicians is dedicated to supporting adults experiencing symptoms of ADHD to help manage their condition and improve their quality of life.
​
In Australia, it's estimated around 2-4% of adults live with ADHD, although this number may be higher due to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis.
​
In adults, ADHD often presents differently than in children. While children's symptoms can be more noticeable, adults may develop coping strategies or overcompensate, giving the impression of being organised and in control. Internally, they may feel like their mind is constantly racing, as if "1000 browser tabs are open" at once. This mental overload is often masked by their outward appearance of being highly functional.
​
The impact of ADHD can extend across many aspects of daily living, making it harder to balance responsibilities and maintain healthy relationships. The good news is, with the right support and treatment, you can learn strategies to manage these challenges effectively.
​
Early detection and diagnosis play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for adults with ADHD. With the right support, such as therapy, medication, and lifestyle strategies, individuals can better manage symptoms, reduce daily challenges, and enhance their overall well-being. This early intervention can lead to more effective coping mechanisms, improved relationships, and greater success in personal and professional settings.
​​If you think you might have ADHD, there are excellent resources available at the ADHD Foundation.

The Assessment Process
Your clinician will work with you to explore your concerns, strengths, abilities, challenges, and developmental history. This comprehensive approach helps you understand how these factors may be affecting your daily life.
03
In Depth Analysis
Your clinician will carefully review all the information gathered during your intake and assessment sessions.
Based on this, they will prepare an easy-to-understand written report, which will include recommendations for effectively managing your condition.
02
Psychometric Assessment
You will be given a series of validated psychometric tests specifically designed to assess ADHD. These tests can be completed at your own pace, from the comfort of your home. The results provide a clearer insight into your unique situation.
04
Feedback and Report
We will schedule a feedback session about 3-4 weeks after your assessment is completed.
In this session, you will receive your written report along with a detailed explanation of the findings and recommendations for the next steps.
