A Guide to ADHD Assessments & Coaching
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect focus, organisation, impulse control, and emotional regulation. While many people associate ADHD with childhood, it is increasingly recognised in teenagers and adults, and its impact can vary widely from person to person. For some, it may cause difficulties in work; for others, it can affect relationships, self-esteem, and day-to-day life.
Why an ADHD Assessment Matters
If you suspect you may have ADHD, a thorough assessment is an important step towards clarity and support. At Oak Grove Psychology, our ADHD assessments are evidence-based, comprehensive, and sensitive to each individual’s circumstances. We gather information through clinical interviews, validated questionnaires, and where relevant, input from family members or partners.
A professional diagnosis can be life-changing. It can help explain long-standing challenges, reduce self-blame, and open the door to tailored strategies, workplace or educational adjustments, and further specialist support.
The Role of ADHD Coaching
While assessment provides answers, our ADHD coaching focuses on practical solutions. Coaching is not the same as therapy; it is a collaborative, goal-oriented process designed to help individuals with ADHD develop skills and systems that work for them. This can include:
Time management and organisation strategies
Overcoming procrastination
Improving focus and motivation
Creating routines that support daily life
Building on strengths and managing challenges
Coaching sessions are tailored to the client’s needs, empowering them to take control and make meaningful changes.
