Sessions are 50-60 minutes in duration and cost $230 (including GST). We use a range of evidence-based contextual behaviour sciences tailored for each individual and situation. The length of your engagement in therapy will depend on a number of factors and will be discussed with you in the first session.

Some insurance policies provide subsidies for psychological services. Please check with your insurance provider prior to engaging in therapy if you are reliant on this funding.

Some people may meet criteria for partial funding for therapy via WINZ: https://www.workandincome.govt.nz/eligibility/health-and-disability/counselling.html

We are also contracted to provide services through Clearhead (EAP) and to personnel within the NZ Police.

We offer high standard and evidence-informed clinical supervision to a range of health professionals. In line with our values-informed approach to health practitioners' professional development, we offer flexible supervision rates to fit your clinical registration.

As a Mountainview Consultancy endorsed Master HIP trainer, we have been involved in the Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) training and mentoring since 2019. Over this time we gained experience in helping both HIPs and primary care providers to implement and evaluate integrated primary care services in the unique Aotearoa context. We offer a number of services that would help if you are contemplating adopting the integrated care approach or want to optimise your implementation efforts.

ADHD Diagnostic Assessment

Understanding ADHD in Adults
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often first recognised in childhood, but many people reach adulthood without ever having received an assessment or support. For adults, ADHD can affect concentration, organisation, relationships, study, and work. It often occurs alongside other challenges such as anxiety, low mood, or trauma.

Why seek an assessment?
A comprehensive ADHD assessment can help you:

• Understand whether ADHD explains the difficulties you’ve been experiencing

• Clarify the impact of ADHD on your daily life and relationships

• Access tailored strategies and recommendations for support

• Provide documentation for study, workplace, or health services

• Inform further medical support if medication is being considered

What does the assessment involve?
My assessment process is thorough and evidence-based, following the New Zealand Clinical Principles Framework for ADHD (2025). It typically includes:

• A detailed clinical interview exploring your history, current challenges, and strengths

• Use of validated tools such as the DIVA-5 diagnostic interview and self-report questionnaires (e.g., ASRS, WURS)

• Gathering of collateral information where possible (school reports, whānau input)

• Assessment of other possible explanations or contributing factors

• A clear, written report with findings, formulation, and recommendations

Time frame and process

• Assessments usually take two appointments (1.5–2 hours each) plus additional time for reviewing questionnaires and collateral information.

• A comprehensive written report is provided within 2–3 weeks of the final appointment.

• A separate feedback session is included, where we go through the results and recommendations together.

Pricing

• Full adult ADHD assessment (interviews, questionnaires, collateral, report, feedback session): $1,700 (incl. GST)

• Additional sessions or extended reports (e.g., for medico-legal or specialist purposes) may incur extra cost, discussed in advance.

What happens afterwards?
Following the assessment, we meet to go through the results together. You’ll receive a written report that you can share with your GP, psychiatrist, employer, or education provider if you choose. Recommendations may include psychological strategies, coaching, workplace or study accommodations, and referral for medical treatment where appropriate.

Cultural Responsiveness
All assessments are carried out in a way that respects your cultural identity and values, with the option of whānau involvement. I am committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and to providing care that is meaningful and responsive for you and your whānau.
