Empowering adults to understand, grow, and thrive

At the Northern Centre for Adult Psychology, we provide standardised assessments, counselling, and neurodiversity-affirming support for adults. Our evidence-based approach is designed to bring clarity, reduce overwhelm, and help you navigate life with confidence and understanding.

Psychological assessments for adults

We offer comprehensive psychological assessments for adults, providing insight into lifelong patterns, challenges, and strengths. Whether exploring ADHD, autism, or other cognitive and emotional factors, our assessments give you a detailed understanding and practical guidance.

ADHD Assessments

Many adults reach a point where lifelong struggles with focus, organisation, motivation, emotional regulation, or overwhelm begin to make sense through an ADHD lens. An ADHD assessment can bring clarity, reduce self-blame, and provide practical direction for moving forward. Our comprehensive ADHD assessments provide:

Thorough clinical evaluation
Validated assessment tools
Exploration of developmental history and life patterns
Screening for co-occurring conditions
Detailed written report you can take to your medical professional to discuss medication if desired
Tailored recommendations for work, study, and daily life
Guidance regarding next steps and treatment options

Autism Assessments

For many adults, understanding autism is not limiting — it is liberating. Some adults have spent years feeling different, exhausted by social expectations, or unsure why everyday life feels harder for them than it appears for others. Our autism assessments offer:

A respectful, neurodiversity-affirming approach
Exploration of lifelong social, sensory, and communication patterns
Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation
Detailed report suitable for workplace or support accommodations
Personalised recommendations

Counselling & Therapy

We provide therapy for adults seeking support with a wide range of challenges, including:

Anxiety and chronic worry
Depression and low mood
Stress and burnout
Emotional overwhelm and regulation difficulties
Relationship challenges
Identity and self-understanding
Life transitions and adjustment
Self-esteem and perfectionism
Navigating neurodivergence in daily life

Evidence-Based, Person-Centred Care

Our clinicians draw from evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed practice, tailoring therapy to each individual’s needs. We offer a space where you can slow down, reflect, and develop practical strategies for meaningful change.

Neurodiversity-Affirming Support

For adults who identify as neurodivergent — diagnosed or self-identified — we provide targeted support to help you:

Understand your strengths and needs
Reduce masking and burnout
Improve executive functioning and organisation
Navigate work and relationships
Build self-acceptance and self-advocacy

Empowering You Every Day

Our approach is grounded in respect, empowerment, and practical strategies that support thriving in daily life.
