What Sets Our Services Apart in Manchester

Comprehensive Assessment Process

At our Manchester clinic, we understand that undergoing a comprehensive ADHD assessment is a significant step toward understanding and managing the condition.

Our assessment process is carefully designed to provide clarity, support, and a path forward. From the initial consultation to follow-up care, our team of experienced healthcare professionals is dedicated to conducting thorough evaluations that address all aspects of ADHD.

We also recognise the importance of an accurate diagnosis in formulating meaningful next steps.
We aim to offer a supportive framework that empowers individuals and families with actionable insights and guidance throughout their journey.
01

Initial Consultation

Your assessment begins with a detailed initial consultation at our Manchester clinic. During this appointment, we gather a comprehensive medical, developmental and personal history, and explore the symptoms and challenges that have brought you to seek an evaluation.

We focus on building rapport and creating an open, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. Whether you are an adult seeking clarity for yourself or a parent supporting your child, the consultation is carefully tailored to your individual needs, experiences and goals for the assessment process.
02

Comprehensive Evaluation

Following the consultation, we undertake a structured and evidence-based evaluation. This includes the use of standardised diagnostic tools, clinical interviews and behavioural observations to ensure accuracy and reliability.

We carefully identify patterns consistent with ADHD while also considering and ruling out other conditions that may present with overlapping features, such as anxiety, autism or learning differences. Our approach is thorough, precise and aligned with UK clinical guidelines.
03

Multidisciplinary Review and Diagnostic Outcome

Once the evaluation is complete, we provide clear and collaborative feedback. We review the findings with you and, where appropriate, with parents or caregivers, ensuring full understanding of the results.

We prioritise transparency, clarity and space for questions, helping you understand how the diagnostic conclusions were reached and what they mean in practical terms.
04

Written Report and Feedback Appointment

If a diagnosis is confirmed, we develop a tailored management plan based on your individual profile and circumstances. This may include medication management where clinically appropriate, therapy recommendations, behavioural strategies and practical lifestyle guidance.

Our aim is to empower you with actionable next steps, appropriate resources and ongoing support. We also offer follow-up appointments and continued review, ensuring your plan evolves in line with your needs and long-term goals.

Our Manchester clinic offers comprehensive, consultant psychiatrist-led private ADHD assessments for adults seeking clarity, diagnosis and structured treatment planning. Based at Calderbank Medical Chambers, our service is delivered by experienced, GMC-licensed specialists using evidence-based diagnostic tools aligned with UK clinical guidelines.

Our assessment process includes a detailed clinical consultation, developmental history, structured diagnostic screening and exploration of co-existing conditions such as autism or anxiety to ensure diagnostic accuracy.

Following the assessment, you will receive a clear written report and personalised treatment recommendations, which may include medication management, therapy, lifestyle strategies, and GP liaison, where appropriate. We also provide ongoing follow-up support to ensure long-term stability and effective symptom management.

The assessment process includes a comprehensive clinical interview with parents or carers, a detailed developmental history, a behavioural evaluation, and the use of structured diagnostic tools. Where appropriate, we incorporate school feedback and screening for co-existing conditions such as autism, dyslexia or anxiety to ensure a thorough and accurate diagnosis.

Following the assessment, families receive a detailed written report with clear diagnostic outcomes and tailored recommendations. These may include behavioural strategies, school support guidance, therapy options and, where clinically indicated, medication planning.
