About
Helen is a consultant psychiatrist who specialises in ADHD in adults. She assesses people aged 18 and over, including adults who are wondering about ADHD for the first time later in life.
Her assessment is a 60-minute one-to-one video appointment, after online questionnaires. Her aim is that you leave understanding the reasons for the outcome, whatever it is, and with a clear plan for what happens next. Your written report and treatment plan reach you within 48 hours of the assessment.
