Understanding the ADHD Assessment and Diagnosis Process

  1. Initial Consultation and Screening

Your first step is a clinical consultation with Paul, Katie or Sandra, where we explore your history, current concerns, and the impact these difficulties have on work, study, relationships, and daily functioning. We may use ADHD screening tools to help determine whether a full diagnostic assessment is appropriate.

  1. Clinical Assessment and Report

If ADHD appears likely, we complete a structured psychosocial assessment. This includes:

  • Symptom identification
  • Developmental and childhood history
  • Mental health and trauma history if applicable
  • Functional impacts across home, work, and social settings
  • Strengths, coping strategies, and environmental factors

From this, we prepare a clinical summary to you and your GP or Psychiatrist for further consideration. This summary helps the diagnosing practitioner understand your background and the reasons for referral.

Note: While we provide assessment, screening, and therapeutic support, we do not:

  • Make a provisional or formal ADHD diagnosis
  • Provide diagnostic reports used for medication or NDIS eligibility
  • Provide screening for children under 18 years of age
  • Prescribe or manage medication

Diagnosis and medication decisions remain with your GP or psychiatrist.

ADHD Assessment Screening and Supports

Understanding the ADHD Assessment and Diagnosis Process at Rockhampton Counselling Services, we support adults who are exploring whether ADHD may be contributing to their challenges with focus, organisation, motivation, or emotional regulation. While our clinicians provide comprehensive assessment and therapeutic support, the formal diagnosis of ADHD must be made by a medical practitioner — typically a GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician.

What we do – We provide affordable screening options
