Please note that we are a Psychology led service.
As such, we are able to diagnose ADHD and to make recommendations regarding environmental strategies and approaches that can be helpful to manage day to day life.
However, we are not able to prescribe medication. If a diagnosis of ADHD is confirmed and you would like to consider medication alongside other approaches, we can signpost you to appropriate services.
