I provide comprehensive evaluations with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by adult women with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD can present differently in women, often leading to underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis. From The Couples Clinic, I provide thorough, evidence-based ADHD assessments via Telehealth, designed specifically for women aged 25 and older. My process is empathetic, confidential, and aimed at helping you gain a clearer understanding of your neurotype (spicy or not).
My ADHD assessment process is designed with professionalism and care, ensuring that every woman receives a comprehensive evaluation that accurately reflects her unique experiences and symptoms.
Initial Consultation Every journey begins with a conversation. In our initial consultation, I will discuss your concerns, medical history, and any symptoms you’ve been experiencing. This step is crucial in tailoring the assessment to your specific needs.
Comprehensive Assessment My ADHD assessments are thorough and multifaceted, incorporating standardised tests, clinical interviews, an objective computerised assessment, and self and informant-report questionnaires. I will delve into your cognitive, emotional, social and behavioural patterns to paint a complete picture.
Personalised Report Once the assessment is complete, I will provide you with a detailed report of my findings within 3 weeks’ of the completion of all assessment items. This report includes a clear explanation of your results, potential diagnoses, and personalised recommendations for treatment or further support.
Ongoing Support Our work together doesn’t need to stop there if you would like ongoing support. I can offer follow-up sessions, recommendations to support referrals on to specialised care, and resources to help you manage and thrive with an ADHD diagnosis.

An adult ADHD assessment with Kasia Gordon will cost a total of $1200.
Half payment of $600 is required prior to booking in your initial consultation. The balance is payable before the report is produced.
The assessment fees and included psychology consultations are not covered by Medicare.
You may however use a GP Mental Health Care Plan for any psychology appointments you wish to engage in with Kasia following your diagnosis. These are considered treatment sessions and are a popular option for women seeking counselling to understand their diagnosis, as well as psycho-education and support with how to practically manage later life ADHD symptoms.
There are 3 core components to adult ADHD assessments with The Couples Clinic:
Psychologists are able to provide a diagnosis of ADHD, however we do not prescribe medication. If a diagnosis of adult ADHD is made, we recommend you seek a GP-referral to a psychiatrist for medication (if desired).
Although psychologists do not prescribe medication, having an existing diagnosis can save time if you are considering engaging a psychiatrist. Some psychiatrists ask for a prior assessment with a psychologist before your psychiatry appointment.
If possible, questionnaires about ADHD-like behaviours are also completed by someone who knew you in childhood and someone who knows you currently “informants”.
A computer-administered test (QbCheck) that provides objective data regarding attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The test is completed remotely and requires access to a computer with a web camera. The test typically takes approximately 30 minutes.
