ADHD assessment options in Warrington

In the UK, adults can pursue ADHD assessment through:

NHS referral

You can speak to your GP about referral to an NHS ADHD service.However, waiting lists are often long, sometimes extending to several years.

Private ADHD assessment

Private assessment offers a much shorter wait and a more flexible process.Many people choose this route when they need clarity sooner for work, wellbeing, or personal understanding.

Private assessments can be completed:

• Face-to-face in Warrington or Stockton Heath

• Online from anywhere in the UK

Both routes follow structured clinical guidance to ensure accuracy and care.

What happens during an adult ADHD assessment?

A comprehensive private adult ADHD assessment typically includes:

1. Initial consultation - A space to explore your experiences, history, and whether a full assessment feels appropriate.

2. Full diagnostic assessment - A structured clinical appointment exploring childhood patterns, current challenges, and how ADHD traits show up across life areas.

3. Diagnostic report - A detailed written report outlining findings, clinical impressions, and personalised recommendations.

4. Feedback session - Time to talk through the outcome, ask questions, and consider next steps.

High-quality assessments follow NICE guidelines, ensuring the process is thorough, ethical, and clinically sound.

Life after diagnosis: the part people don’t talk about enough

One of the biggest concerns people share is:

“What happens after I’m diagnosed?”

Many NHS pathways end at diagnosis, leaving people with clarity but limited ongoing support.

Private assessment can feel different because it allows the option to continue with:

• ADHD-informed therapy

• Coaching for organisation, routines, and emotional regulation

• Support processing late diagnosis and identity changes

Diagnosis is not the finish line.For many, it’s the beginning of understanding themselves with compassion.

Taking the first step

If you’re considering an ADHD assessment in Warrington, the most important thing to know is this:

You don’t need to be certain.You just need to be curious enough to ask the question.

Exploring ADHD is not about proving something is “wrong”.It’s about discovering what might finally make sense.

And that discovery can be quietly life-changing.
