Mind & Body Works specialises in treating and assessing ADHD in adults through a dedicated team of experienced psychologists and psychotherapists. With clinics in Dublin and Galway and an online service available across Ireland, we provide tailored support to help individuals effectively manage ADHD symptoms such as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
Please note that we do not offer ADHD assessments for individuals under the age of 18.
What Are the Symptoms of ADHD?
ADHD symptoms in adults typically includes forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, impulsivity, restlessness, and organisational challenges. These issues can significantly impact daily life, relationships, self-esteem, and productivity.
Recognising these symptoms is crucial for seeking appropriate interventions to enhance overall functioning and quality of life.
How Does Our ADHD Assessment Process Work?
Our assessment services are exclusively designed for adults and are not available for children or adolescents under 18.
At Mind & Body Works, our private ADHD assessment process is structured to provide clarity and support at every step:
- Initial Pre-Screening Consultation (€80): This online session helps determine whether a full ADHD assessment is necessary based on your symptoms.
- Comprehensive Clinical Assessment (€550): If further evaluation is required, this involves clinical interviews, standardised rating scales, and a review of your personal history with an assessment psychologist. You will receive your formal diagnosis at the end of this session. Clinical assessments can be conducted both online and in-person.
- Optional Report for Medications (€150): If needed, you can book in to receive a detailed 30-page report, which is necessary for accessing further psychiatric or medical care, either publicly or privately. In this online session, your assessment psychologist can also assist in referring you to specialised ADHD psychiatric services.
How Much Does the ADHD Assessment Cost Privately?
- Pre-Screening Consultation: €80
- Comprehensive Clinical Assessment: €550
- Optional Report for Medications: €150
The total cost for a formal ADHD diagnosis and confirmation is €630. If you require an optional report for medication purposes, the total cost increases to €780.
Some health insurance providers may cover part or all of these costs, depending on your policy. Additionally, medical expenses may be eligible for tax relief in Ireland through Revenue.
We recommend contacting your health insurance provider to confirm the specifics of your coverage. Your assessment psychologist can provide the necessary documentation to assist with your insurance claims or tax relief applications.
What is Adult ADHD?

Diagnosis and tailored interventions can significantly improve outcomes.
