Private Adult ADHD Assessments in London
ADHD in adulthood can affect attention, organisation, relationships, and daily life. Many adults only realise they may have ADHD when symptoms begin to impact work, home, or social interactions.
At Dementech Neurosciences, our specialist team provides thorough, evidence-based assessments to understand your unique profile. Following your assessment, we create a personalised management plan to help you address challenges, improve focus, and support your overall wellbeing.
ADHD Symptoms in Adults
Early recognition of ADHD symptoms can support assessment and access to effective strategies.
Common signs of ADHD in adults include:
- Attention and focus difficulties: You may have trouble concentrating, become easily distracted, or struggle to complete tasks on time. Daily organisation, such as planning, tracking appointments, or managing paperwork, may feel overwhelming.
- Restlessness and high energy: Many adults with ADHD feel persistently restless. This may appear as constant activity, interrupting conversations, or difficulty relaxing for extended periods.
- Impulsive decision-making: Acting without fully considering consequences is common and can affect spending, work choices, or interactions with others.
- Emotional regulation difficulties: ADHD can make managing emotions challenging. Adults may experience frequent mood changes, frustration, irritability, or feel overwhelmed by situations others handle calmly.
Recognising these patterns can help you determine if ADHD may be affecting your life and is an important step toward seeking professional assessment.
Dementech’s Adult ADHD Assessment Process
Our experienced physchiatrists recognise the challenges of adult ADHD. We tailor our assessments to your needs by observing your behaviour, evaluating your work and home life, and understanding your psychological profile. Based on these insights, we develop a personalised treatment plan to help you manage your condition.
We adhere to strict guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)to ensure accurate and high-quality diagnosis of neurodiverse conditions, including ADHD.
Our adult ADHD assessment process can be broken down into four main steps:
Step 1: Neurodevelopmental assessment
Our clinicians will observe and interact with you to evaluate your behaviour, communication skills, and social interactions, as well as your responses to your environment.
This first stage of our adult ADHD assessment typically takes between one to two hours.
Step 2: Academic evaluation
We will assess your work, education, and home life to identify your strengths and challenges.
This may involve input from family members, close friends, or others who know you well.
Step 3: Psychological assessment
Our clinicians will then assess your cognitive abilities, emotional well-being, and behavioural patterns in greater depth.
A comprehensive understanding of your psychological profile, combined with neurodevelopmental and lifestyle assessments, enables our clinicians to make a holistic ADHD diagnosis.
Step 4: Support sessions
We are committed to ongoing support and a tailored treatment plan for adult ADHD. If you are diagnosed, you will receive support sessions with a specialist psychiatrist every two months.
These sessions provide expert guidance and help evaluate the effectiveness of your management strategy.
Talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), are sometimes recommended as an ADHD treatment for adults. CBT aims to help teach you methods for problem solving and how to effectively manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Practising mindfulness and joining support groups might also be suggested as a treatment for adult ADHD.

Lifestyle changes are one approach to managing adult ADHD. We may recommend the following:
- Engaging in regular physical activity and exercise

- Avoiding screens, caffeinated and sugary drinks, and alcohol close to bedtime
- Eating a healthy and balanced diet
Following your ADHD diagnosis, you may request support from your educational institution or workplace to help manage your condition.
Your college, university, or workplace can implement reasonable adjustments to support your ADHD, such as:
- Being provided with your own personal workspace in a quiet area
- Being given written instructions, as well as clear verbal instructions
- Getting assistance with planning, prioritising, and structuring your tasks
In some cases, medicine might be prescribed as a treatment for adult ADHD. This decision is made jointly by your ADHD specialist and GP.
Certain medicines can help manage a range of ADHD symptoms such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, concentration, and sleep issues.
These medicines must be prescribed and will be monitored by your ADHD specialist. You may need to try different options to determine what works best for you.
Talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), are sometimes recommended as an ADHD treatment for adults. CBT aims to help teach you methods for problem solving and how to effectively manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Practising mindfulness and joining support groups might also be suggested as a treatment for adult ADHD.

Adult ADHD Assessment and Treatment: FAQs
There are a few ways you can get an adult ADHD assessment. One method is making an appointment to speak to your GP about your symptoms, who might then refer you for further assessment by an ADHD specialist, if they think you might have ADHD.
Alternatively, you can arrange to pay for a private adult ADHD assessment. This can help you avoid long waiting lists and, in some cases, the need to have a GP referral.
When you get an ADHD assessment with Dementech Neurosciences, you will receive a comprehensive and personalised evaluation of your psychological profile. The assessment will be conducted by our team of experts, including psychologists, behavioural therapists, and medical professionals.

“Dementech Neurosciences is a relatively new clinic specialising in the scientific assessment and treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. It represents a significant development in the treatment of Parkinson’s and has done a great job of establishing itself and its reputation in a short period of time. The premises are extremely well situated in central London, the consultant neurologists are all at the top of their field in their specialisation of the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, and the clinical and administrative staff are of a similar standard. The atmosphere of the clinic is positive and the results, in the short period of time I have been able to assess, have been similarly positive.”

“Have had nothing but kindness and professionalism from Dementech and all their staff. From their initial guidance by Shakeela, through to staff conducting the MRI tests and Dr. Lucio D’Anna for his expertise clarity of explanation, compassion and consideration. Special mention to Zobia, who saved the day with her quick thinking that helped my mother-in-law to obtain extended care. Overall a perfect experience. Cannot recommend them enough.”
