What is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects children in various ways, including their academic performance, social interactions, and emotional wellbeing. Children with ADHD might face challenges such as difficulty concentrating, restlessness, and impulsivity.

Recognising these signs can help parents and carers seek the necessary support for their children.

Our ADHD assessment process

What to expect

ADHD assessments are carried out by one of our Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists. We follow an evidence-based interview protocol called the DIVA-5, which is a structured interview processes that allows us to provide an accurate assessment.

Once you have booked an appointment we will ask the young person, their parents/carers and their school to complete a pre-assessment questionnaire. This will be followed by a 2-hour in-depth assessment. Their clinician may share their initial thoughts on if a diagnosis is present at the end of the assessment, which will be followed by a detailed report and treatment recommendations.

Frequently asked questions

If you have a question that isn’t listed, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

It is normal to be unsure about whether or not your child may benefit from an ADHD assessment, or something else. This is why we offer free 15-minute discovery calls with our clinicians. It’s your chance to discuss why you think your young person may have ADHD with a professional, who will be able to tell you whether an assessment may be beneficial.

They will be assessed by a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist or a Clinical Psychologist. Both are senior mental health professionals who are specially trained to assess and diagnose neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD.

We offer both in-person and virtual appointments.

In-person appointments are available in Central London, and virtual appointments are conducted via a secure online link sent to you ahead of your appointment.

Following your booking enquiry, we aim to offer your young person an appointment as soon as possible.

We recommend allowing some time between your booking enquiry and the assessment to complete the pre-assessment questionnaires.

At the end of the assessment, your clinician will share their initial thoughts on whether your young person meets the diagnostic criteria for ADHD.

Following the assessment, we will discuss your young person’s case with at least one other clinician. This is to ensure the quality of our assessment and to check that they are in agreement with our findings. Once this discussion has taken place, we will finalise the report and treatment recommendations.

We aim to get this to you within 2–3 weeks of the assessment.

Yes, our psychiatrists can prescribe medication to treat ADHD. You may hear clinicians talk about ‘medication titration’ – this is the process of gradually adjusting the dosage of medication until the maximum therapeutic benefit is achieved.

We will work with you and your young person to manage this process. After this, we can explore a shared care plan with your GP.

I genuinely couldn't recommend MOAI Psychology highly enough. From the beginning, the whole process felt professional, supportive and genuinely focused on me as an individual rather than simply treating me as another client going through a service. I completed 12 therapy sessions with Dr Evie Bamigbade, and the experience has had a profound impact on me. Evie has an incredible ability to challenge you and encourage you to look at things differently, while creating an environment where you feel completely safe to be open and honest. I went into therapy wanting to better understand myself and how I deal with my emotions. I've come away with not only a much deeper understanding of myself and some of the patterns I've carried for years, but practical tools that I now use in everyday life. I've noticed genuine changes in how I handle difficult emotions, anxiety, relationships and stressful situations, and people around me have noticed the difference too. What I appreciated most was that I never felt judged or as though I was being told how I should feel. I was helped to understand what was happening, develop the skills to deal with it and ultimately trust myself to use them. I'm incredibly grateful to Evie and the wider team at MOAI for the support I've received. Finishing therapy actually felt bittersweet because I enjoyed the sessions so much, but I think coming away feeling equipped to continue the work yourself is probably one of the best endorsements of good therapy I can give. An excellent service and an experience I'm genuinely very thankful for.

The clinic has been so very supportive of my daughter who at age 17 was diagnosed with dual form ADHD. Dr Singh and then Dr Davey could not have been more helpful, and have been warm, clinically insightful and professional at all times. Thank you all for your assistance in getting her through her exams and off to her chosen University in London. Your secretarial staff are also excellent!

We were in a very difficult situation with a very unwell member of my family. MOAI Health helped co-ordinate the assessment care needed. I can’t thank them enough for the compassion and empathy they demonstrated.

We had an excellent experience with MOAI Health when our son underwent an ADHD assessment, and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to other parents. We had become concerned about his concentration and felt that a professional assessment would help us better understand what he was experiencing and, importantly, what we could do to support him. From the outset, the whole process with MOAI Health was extremely professional, efficient and reassuring. The assessment itself was conducted in person by a professional who was excellent with our son. He was made to feel comfortable throughout, and the clinician managed to engage with him in a way that felt straightforward and stress-free. Everything was explained clearly to us, both during the assessment and afterwards, and we came away with a much clearer understanding of our son's needs. The detailed report we received was comprehensive, clearly written and included a range of useful recommendations to help us support our son going forward. It has also been very helpful to share the report with his school, giving them a better understanding of his needs and how they can support him. Overall, we found MOAI Health to be professional, knowledgeable, efficient and genuinely helpful. The whole process was pain-free, and we now have a clear diagnosis together with practical guidance on the next steps. I would certainly recommend MOAI Health to any parent who is considering an ADHD assessment for their child. They made the process straightforward from start to finish and provided us with exactly the clarity and practical advice we were looking for. A thoroughly excellent service.

So happy to have gotten the support and help from MOAI and Dr Kiran Shetra. So appreciative that I was able to have access and the opportunity to use the service. Every employer should utilise and offer MOAI Health.

It was very good, made me think in a different way. My issues haven't gone away but I'm trying to think differently about it.

MOAI has been so incredibly helpful since I have started treatment with them. I had managed to get my diagnosis quickly and have received great support to help manage my mental health. My coaching sessions with Lucy have been amazing and have really helped me find ways to manage my diagnosis. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for support!
