CHOOSE YOUR ASSESSMENT
Find the Right Assessment for You
Everyone’s experiences are different, so we offer a range of assessments for adults. Whether you are looking for an ADHD assessment, an autism assessment or support with your mental health, you can choose the assessment that best reflects your needs.
Adult ADHD Assessment
Our Adult ADHD Assessment provides a detailed clinical evaluation of ADHD symptoms and how they may affect different areas of your life, including work, relationships and day-to-day activities.
The assessment considers your current experiences alongside your developmental and personal history, helping the clinician develop a clear understanding of your symptoms, difficulties and strengths.

Enhanced ADHD Assessment
Our Enhanced ADHD Assessment is designed for adults who would benefit from a more detailed exploration of their ADHD symptoms and the wider factors that may be affecting their mental health and everyday life.
In addition to assessing ADHD symptoms, the assessment provides greater clinical exploration of co-occurring and overlapping difficulties. This may include areas such as anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma-related difficulties, autism, emotional regulation, sleep difficulties or other factors that may overlap with or influence ADHD symptoms.
The assessment considers your current symptoms, developmental and personal history, mental health, day-to-day functioning and relevant background factors. This allows the clinician to build a more complete picture of your individual presentation and consider how different difficulties may interact.
Where clinically appropriate, the assessment can also help distinguish between ADHD symptoms and difficulties that may have similar or overlapping features, supporting more personalised recommendations and appropriate next steps.
The Enhanced ADHD Assessment may be particularly suitable if you have multiple or complex concerns and would like a more in-depth clinical assessment.
Adult Autism Assessment
Our Adult Autism Assessment explores areas including social communication, social interaction, relationships, routines, interests and sensory experiences, alongside your developmental history and current circumstances.
Where possible, information from someone who knew you during childhood can provide additional insight into your early development. If a childhood informant is not available, this does not necessarily prevent an assessment. If you’re unsure about your options, you can book a Discovery Call to discuss your circumstances with our team.

General Mental Health Assessment
Our General Mental Health Assessment is suitable for adults experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties that are affecting their wellbeing or everyday life. This may include concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, low mood, stress or other mental health difficulties.
During the assessment, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your current concerns, symptoms, personal circumstances and relevant mental health history with a clinician. The assessment is designed to help develop a clearer understanding of what you are experiencing and identify appropriate recommendations and next steps.
Choose the General Mental Health Assessment if you would like to discuss your current mental health concerns with a clinician.
Before booking: If you have experienced significant risk or safety concerns within the past 30 days, or are currently experiencing difficulties related to alcohol or drug use, we recommend booking a Discovery Call first. This gives us an opportunity to understand your circumstances and make sure we can offer the most appropriate assessment and support.
Not Sure Which Assessment You Need?
Choosing the right assessment isn’t always straightforward. If you’re unsure whether an ADHD assessment, Enhanced ADHD Assessment, autism assessment or general mental health assessment is right for you, we’re happy to help.
You can contact the clinic or book a Discovery Call, during which you can have a brief discussion with a clinician about your concerns and circumstances. This gives you an opportunity to ask questions, understand the different assessment options and get guidance on which service may be most appropriate for your needs.
Not sure where to start? Get in touch or book a Discovery Call and we’ll help you take the next step.

Yes. Face-to-face assessments are available in Cardiff for applicable services. Availability can vary by assessment type, so please check the available appointments when booking.
What if I do not know which assessment I need?
If you are unsure whether you need an ADHD assessment, enhanced ADHD assessment, autism assessment or general mental health assessment, please contact the clinic before booking. We can discuss your circumstances and help you understand the available options.
What information may be needed for an ADHD assessment?
An adult ADHD assessment involves a detailed clinical assessment of your current symptoms, developmental history and how these difficulties may affect different areas of your life.
Before your appointment, you may be asked to complete questionnaires to help your clinician understand your experiences. These may include:
- Childhood and current self-report questionnaires about your symptoms, experiences and day-to-day functioning.
- A childhood questionnaire for a parent, older sibling or another person who knew you well during childhood, where available.
- A questionnaire for a partner, family member or someone who knows you well currently, where appropriate.
- A pre-assessment screening questionnaire covering your current concerns, background and relevant mental health history.
Depending on your circumstances and the clinical assessment, you may also be asked to complete a computer-based QbCheck assessment. Where appropriate, this can be completed remotely before your clinical appointment. If QbCheck is required, we will provide the relevant instructions after your appointment has been booked.
You do not need to have every type of informant available to proceed. If you are unsure about what information or questionnaires you may need, you can discuss this with us before booking or during your Discovery Call.
What information may be needed for an autism assessment?
An adult autism assessment involves looking at your developmental history, current experiences and how you function across different areas of life. This may include social communication and interaction, relationships, routines, interests, sensory experiences, emotional wellbeing and day-to-day functioning.
Before your assessment, you may be asked to complete questionnaires about your experiences and provide information that can help the clinician understand your history. This may include:
- Self-report questionnaires about your current experiences, characteristics and day-to-day functioning.
- Developmental history information about your childhood and early development.
- Information from someone who knew you during childhood, such as a parent, older sibling, relative or another person who knows you well, where available.
- Information from someone who knows you currently, such as a partner, family member or close friend, where appropriate.
- Relevant medical, mental health or previous assessment information, where this may help the clinician understand your overall presentation.
- Supporting documents, such as school reports or previous professional reports, where available.
Having information from someone who knew you during childhood can be particularly helpful when exploring your early development. However, if a childhood informant is not available, this does not necessarily prevent you from having an assessment. Other sources of information, including your own account and any relevant records or reports, may be considered.
If you do not have access to childhood information or are unsure what you may need to provide, please contact the clinic or book a Discovery Call before booking your assessment. We can discuss your circumstances and help you understand the available options.
What happens after I book?
Once you have booked your appointment, we’ll send you information about your assessment, including any pre-assessment questionnaires or other information we need from you. You’ll be given guidance on what to complete before your appointment and how to prepare.
Your assessment will take place online or face-to-face, depending on the assessment and appointment you have selected. During the assessment, your clinician will discuss your current concerns, relevant history and how your symptoms or difficulties affect your everyday life.
Where an informant is involved in your assessment, we’ll let you know in advance who may need to be available and when. This may be particularly relevant where information from someone who knows you well, such as a parent, partner or family member, can provide additional context.
Following the assessment, your clinician will discuss the outcome, recommendations and next steps with you. Where appropriate, this may include a diagnosis and a written assessment report summarising the clinical findings and recommendations.
If further information is needed before a conclusion can be reached, your clinician may discuss this with you and advise on the next steps.
Our aim is to make the assessment process clear and supportive, so you understand what to expect at each stage.
What if I cannot find a suitable appointment?
If you cannot find a suitable appointment through the online booking system, please contact the clinic to ask about available options. Our team can advise you about the next appropriate step.
Do you provide emergency mental health appointments?
We do not provide emergency or crisis mental health appointments. Our clinic provides planned private assessments and consultations.
If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, feel that you may be at immediate risk of harming yourself or someone else, or need urgent medical or psychiatric support, please seek urgent help through the appropriate NHS or emergency service rather than booking a routine appointment with us.
If you are in immediate danger, call 999 or go to your nearest Emergency Department (A&E).
For urgent mental health support in Wales, you can also contact NHS 111 Wales and select the mental health option 2.
If you are unsure whether our service is appropriate for your circumstances, you can contact the clinic or book a Discovery Call to discuss your needs.
