Understanding ADHD Assessment Pathways
ADHD assessment sits at the intersection of psychology, paediatrics, and adult psychiatry. At Newport Counselling & Psychology Service (NCPS), we work alongside GPs, paediatricians, and psychiatrists to provide thorough psychological assessments that can confirm or rule out ADHD, identify co-occurring conditions, and inform whether a medical review for medication is appropriate.
