The fastest ADHD Treatment in Wales
Our process is simple and transparent from start to finish. After booking online, you’ll receive instant confirmation and secure links to complete your pre-assessment forms and share recent blood pressure readings if you plan to start medication.
Within a week, you’ll meet your ADHD specialist for a 90–120 minute video assessment following NICE guidelines. If ADHD is confirmed, you’ll be offered ADHD medication. Over the next three months, you’ll meet monthly for medication reviews to monitor progress. Once stable, we’ll prepare documents for a Shared Care Agreement so your GP can take over NHS prescribing.
How Our Private ADHD Diagnosis Works
Book Your Private ADHD Assessment Online
Booking your ADHD assessment is quick and straightforward. You don’t need a GP referral or to join a waiting list. Simply choose a date and time that suits you through our secure online system. Appointments are usually available within a few days, so you can begin your journey to clarity without delay
After booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email with everything you need to prepare, including secure links to your video appointment and pre-assessment questionnaires. These forms give your clinician a detailed picture of your history, symptoms, and goals before you meet, allowing them to make the most of your session.
Meet Your ADHD Specialist for an Online ADHD Assessment
Your first meeting is a secure online video consultation with one of our UK-based ADHD specialists — psychologists or nurse prescribers trained in adult ADHD assessment. This 90–120 minute session is your opportunity to talk openly about your experiences, challenges, and goals in a supportive, professional setting.
During this call, your clinician will take time to understand your background, ask structured questions aligned with NICE guidelines, and listen carefully to your perspective. You’ll be able to discuss any concerns you have about symptoms, work, relationships, or mental health
Receive a Private ADHD Diagnosis
The full assessment includes several elements to ensure an accurate diagnosis. In addition to your main interview, we use validated diagnostic tools such as the DIVA-2.0 and standard ADHD questionnaires.
Your clinician will explore your history from childhood to adulthood, looking for consistent patterns of attention difficulties, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. They will also consider other factors such as anxiety, mood, or lifestyle that might influence your symptoms.
Every assessment is conducted in line with NICE NG87 guidelines, ensuring it meets the standards required by the NHS and GPs for shared care.
Start ADHD Medication
If your assessment confirms ADHD, you may be eligible to start medication with our prescribing team. We offer a range of NICE-recommended medications (stimulant and non-stimulant options) and guide you through each step — from initial prescription to dose titration and follow-up reviews.
Before starting, we’ll ask for your recent blood pressure and heart rate readings, and may request basic GP information to ensure safety. Your clinician will explain how the medication works, what to expect, and how to track your response. All prescribing is done securely online, with regular check-ins to monitor progress and side effects
GP Shared Care Handover
Once your treatment is stable and effective, we can support you in transferring your care to your GP under a Shared Care Agreement. This allows your GP to continue prescribing your medication on the NHS, reducing ongoing costs.
While shared care acceptance varies by practice, many Belfast and Northern Ireland GPs are happy to continue prescribing once they receive our documentation. If shared care isn’t immediately possible, we will continue your treatment

ADHD Treatment and Support Options
ADHD Medication
Where medication fits in ADHD treatment
For many adults, medication is a safe and effective part of ADHD treatment. While it isn’t a cure, carefully prescribed medicines can reduce inattention, impulsivity, and emotional reactivity so everyday tasks feel more manageable.
Our clinicians provide clear guidance so you understand the advantages, risks, and alternatives before making a decision.

Types of ADHD medication
• Stimulants (e.g., methylphenidate, lisdexamfetamine) – support attention, motivation, and self-regulation by optimising key neurotransmitters.
• Non-stimulants (e.g., atomoxetine, guanfacine) – considered when stimulants aren’t suitable, often with a steadier onset and different side-effect profile.
Our medication support process
1. Assessment first – a full diagnostic assessment confirms ADHD and screens for physical or mental-health considerations.
2. Initiation & titration – if appropriate, we start low and adjust slowly, balancing effect with tolerability.
3. Ongoing review – structured follow-ups monitor sleep, appetite, blood pressure/heart rate (where relevant), mood, and functional gains.
4. Maintenance prescriptions – repeat prescribing can be managed through our clinic or, when appropriate, via a GP shared care pathway for long-term convenience.
Medication is only one part of the journey. We pair prescribing with skills training and ADHD therapy for adults so gains translate into daily life. You stay in control, with transparent information and responsive aftercare at every step.
Therapy for adults with ADHD: practical and affirming
ADHD therapy is a valuable tool for creating lasting strategies, whether you’re an adult navigating work and family life or a parent supporting a child through school and social challenges.
At AuDHD Psychiatry, we blend CBT for ADHD, ADHD counselling, and skills training to meet the specific needs of each individual and family.
What we work on
- Executive-function skills – planning, prioritising, task initiation, and time management strategies adapted for both adults and children.
- Emotional regulation – techniques for handling frustration, rejection sensitivity, and stress without relying on willpower alone.
- Self-esteem & identity – processing a new or late diagnosis, fostering self-confidence in children, and building self-compassion in adults.
- Relationships & communication – improving family dynamics, reducing misunderstandings, and supporting teamwork at home, school, or work.
Therapy formats
- CBT for ADHD – structured, goal-led sessions with agreed home practice.
- Counselling – space to explore burnout, anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.
- Skills training – concrete routines for emails, meetings, deadlines, and study habits.
How sessions run
We set priorities and co-create a plan with measurable outcomes. Sessions can sit alongside medication or ADHD coaching. Your clinician coordinates with the wider team so your plan stays consistent and easy to follow.
Why it helps
Therapy gives you methods that last beyond the appointment: realistic scheduling, emotion regulation, and communication tools you can rely on under pressure. Many clients report improved productivity, steadier mood, and greater confidence within weeks, with deeper change building over time.
From knowing to doing
Coaching complements medication and therapy by focusing on action. It’s a practical, forward-looking partnership that turns intentions into results. Our coaches understand presentations of ADHD and design strategies to fit align with your goals.
Common focus areas
- Time architecture – time-blocking, buffer zones, and realistic task sizing to reduce last-minute stress.
- Prioritisation & task initiation – break through avoidance; start quickly with “first small steps.”
- Accountability – gentle check-ins that build consistency without pressure.
- Organisation systems – email triage, calendar hygiene, meeting prep, and paper-free workflows.
- Confidence & momentum – notice wins, iterate routines, and reduce all-or-nothing thinking.
How coaching works
- Goal mapping – define outcomes tied to work, study, or family life.
- Rapid prototyping – test simple tools (timers, templates, cue cards) and keep what sticks.
- Review loops – short cycles to refine habits, aligned with your energy and attention patterns.
Why it’s effective
Coaching translates improvements from ADHD therapy or medication into everyday behaviours. You’ll leave each session with a realistic plan for the week ahead, plus tactics for disruptions. Remote options across Wales make support easy to access, even around shift work or caring responsibilities.
Community, adjustments, and tools that sustain progress
Treatment works best alongside practical support for ADHD. We recommend you connect with ADHD support groups and everyday resources so change sticks between appointments.
Find your community
- Local peer groups (in-person and online) for shared strategies and encouragement.
- Topic-specific meet-ups: late-diagnosed adults, women/AFAB groups, students, or entrepreneurs.
- Confidential spaces moderated by ADHD-aware facilitators.
Workplace and study adjustments
- Flexible deadlines or phased targets; quiet workspaces or noise-reduction solutions.
- Assistive tech (text-to-speech, task managers, smart timers) and template packs for repeat tasks.
- Disclosure guidance and reasonable-adjustment letters where helpful.
Home & health routines
- Sleep regularity, movement plans, and nutrition basics that support attention and mood
- Visual cues and micro-routines for chores, bills, and admin.
- Low-friction planning kits: weekly boards, cue cards, and “two-minute starts.”
How we help in Wales
Our clinicians can guide you in joining the right ADHD support groups and coordinate with employers, universities, or GPs when needed. You’ll get a practical toolkit alongside clinical care, so gains from ADHD therapy for adults and medication translate into real-world stability.
Understanding the full picture sometimes means looking beyond ADHD.
AuDHD Psychiatry offers autism assessments for adults who recognise traits such as sensory sensitivities, social fatigue, preference for routine, or communication differences. Our clinicians are experienced in both ADHD and autism, so we can differentiate overlaps, identify strengths, and provide clear next steps without long waits.
What’s included
- A detailed developmental history and structured clinical interview
- Validated screening tools and observation-based measures where appropriate
- Optional collateral information (family, school or medical records) to strengthen accuracy
- A diagnostic report with recommendations for support, adjustments, and therapy options
If autism is confirmed, we’ll help you access practical supports in Wales: workplace or university adjustments, skills-based therapy, and peer communities. If results are mixed, we explain why and outline a plan for monitoring or further evaluation.
Many clients choose a combined pathway with an ADHD assessment; our team can coordinate both in a single, joined-up process. With AuDHD Psychiatry, you’ll receive a respectful, evidence-based assessment that turns uncertainty into a clear plan
