Educational and Developmental Psychologist for ADHD

What Does ADHD Look Like?

ADHD can affect focus, organisation, memory, impulse control, and emotional regulation. It presents differently for everyone. For example:

• Children may struggle to sit still, follow instructions, or manage big feelings
• Teens may feel misunderstood, overwhelmed by schoolwork, or labelled as “lazy”
• Adults may experience burnout, forgetfulness, or chronic procrastination

Many people with ADHD also experience rejection sensitivity, anxiety, or sensory sensitivities. These are not character flaws — they’re part of a neurodevelopmental profile that can be better understood with the right support.

How We Help

Our educational and developmental psychologists use strengths-based, evidence-informed methods to:

• Clarify whether ADHD is present through formal assessment
• Support executive functioning (e.g. organisation, time management)
• Explore co-occurring challenges (e.g. learning differences, anxiety)
• Offer practical strategies for school, work, and daily life
• Empower self-understanding and reduce shame

We believe ADHD is a difference, not a deficit — and we work collaboratively to help each client thrive.

Our ADHD Assessment Process

Our process is age-appropriate, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Depending on age and goals, it may include:

• Clinical interviews with individuals and/or parents
• Standardised tools (e.g. Conners-4, DIVA-5, BASC-3)
• Input from teachers, family, or support workers
• Observation of behaviour and executive functioning

Every assessment ends with a personalised report and feedback session, focused on building understanding and confidence.

A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach

We support individuals who:

• Suspect they may have ADHD (with or without formal diagnosis)
• Are seeking clarification on traits that have been lifelong challenges
• Want better support at school, university, work, or home
• Were diagnosed earlier but want to reconnect with their identity

Our team includes educational and developmental psychologists with specific training in ADHD and a commitment to working alongside neurodivergent clients with respect and authenticity.
