Yes, an online diagnosis is recognised exactly the same as an in-office one. The only difference is with an online diagnosis you do not have to spend time travelling to a location and waiting around. Getting an online diagnosis also allows you to choose more convenient times throughout the day like during the evenings or on weekends.

The diagnosis process is completed online through a video call link. This helps to reduce wait times and allows us to offer more convenient times for everyone. Going through the process online does not change or mean it is any less valid than an in-person diagnosis.

ADHD Therapy is generally centred around Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other practices to help someone who has ADHD manage their symptoms and daily life. We highly recommend starting with a monthly therapy session. 

ADHD, or Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by a consistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interferes with daily functioning and development. People with ADHD may have difficulty focusing on tasks, following through on instructions, and managing their time and emotions. They might also exhibit high levels of energy and activity, often acting without thinking through the consequences. It’s important to understand that ADHD is not a reflection of intelligence or potential; rather, it’s about how the brain processes information and stimuli. While it’s most commonly identified in children, ADHD can present unique challenges in adulthood. With the right support and strategies, individuals with ADHD can lead successful and fulfilling lives, often harnessing their distinctive traits like creativity, enthusiasm, and the ability to think outside the box.

Adult ADHD manifests through a range of symptoms that can significantly impact daily life and functioning. Commonly, adults with ADHD experience persistent difficulties with focus, often finding it challenging to concentrate on tasks, stay organised, or follow detailed instructions. They may also display signs of hyperactivity, such as restlessness or an inability to relax, and impulsivity, like making hasty decisions or interrupting others during conversations. Time management can be particularly challenging, leading to missed deadlines or chronic lateness. Adults with ADHD might also struggle with emotional regulation, experiencing quick mood changes, frustration, or sensitivity to stress. It’s important to note that these symptoms can vary in intensity and may not always be immediately apparent, as many adults develop coping mechanisms over time. Recognising these symptoms is crucial for understanding and managing ADHD in adulthood, paving the way for effective strategies to navigate both personal and professional life.

ADHD, which stands for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is often confused with ADD, or Attention Deficit Disorder, leading to the question: are they the same? In essence, ADD is an outdated term that was once used to describe what we now recognise as a subtype of ADHD. Currently, ADHD is the official, medical term used to describe the condition and it encompasses three primary subtypes: Predominantly Inattentive, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive, and Combined Presentation. The term ADD used to refer specifically to the Predominantly Inattentive subtype, where individuals mainly struggle with attention and concentration without the hyperactive and impulsive behaviours typical of the other subtypes. Over time, the medical community phased out the term ADD in favour of ADHD to more accurately reflect the range of symptoms and behaviours associated with the disorder. Thus, while you may still hear ADD used colloquially, it’s technically a part of the broader category of ADHD.
