Common reasons to seek an assessment
-
"I often feel like I have too many tabs open in my brain —my mind races from one thought to another, and I can't seem to focus on any of them. I forget important tasks and miss deadlines. I feel like a mess. I worry that others think disorganised or lazy, but I try hard and still can't keep up."
One client’s description of their ADHD experience
-
"I've always felt different—like I don't quite fit in. I get overwhelmed in social situations, and struggle with unspoken rules and reading body language. I get stuck in my interests, and changes in routine are really hard. Sometimes I wonder if there's something more to these experiences."
What autism can sound like
-
My child's reading and spelling is not where I would like it to be. No matter what we have tried, reading seems harder than it should be. My child has become disinterested in schoolwork, and it is a battle to get them to sit down and do anything.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions, affecting millions of children, adolescents, and adults worldwide. Often misunderstood or overlooked, ADHD can significantly impact focus, organisation, emotional regulation, and daily functioning—at school, at work, and in relationships. Left unrecognised, its effects can lead to frustration, low self-esteem, and underperformance despite potential. The good news is that with proper assessment, ADHD can be clearly identified, and personalised strategies can be developed to improve everyday life. If you’ve been struggling with attention, impulsivity, or restlessness, or if your child is having difficulty keeping up, a comprehensive ADHD evaluation is the first step towards clarity and support.

Our cognitive and/ or educational assessments provide a detailed understanding of an individual’s cognitive abilities and intellectual functioning. These assessments are essential for identifying learning strengths and challenges, helping to clarify why someone may be struggling or excelling academically. We off both child and adolescent assessments that can offer valuable insights into reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and processing speed, all of which influence educational performance. These assessments can also help identify or rule out conditions such as learning disorders (like dyslexia or dyscalculia), intellectual disabilities, and developmental delays. Understanding these factors allows for tailored recommendations and support, empowering individuals to reach their full potential.
