ADHD Assessments
Maeve can provide ADHD assessments. However, please note that not all GPs and Psychiatrists use a psychologist’s ADHD diagnosis to prescribe medication. ADHD assessments with Maeve are best suited for people not seeking medication, or those who would like to potentially shorten their time with a psychiatrist.
Maeve enjoys the insights that structured psychological assessments can bring. She is experienced in administering and interpreting a range of psychological assessments, ensuring accurate diagnoses and tailored intervention plans.
Maeve believes that assessments improve self-awareness and understanding strengths and weaknesses which are the first steps in living our best lives.
These insights can also help clients access appropriate treatments like effective therapy, medication, support networks and tailored interventions.
