Expert ADHD Psychologist in Brisbane
Personalised Treatment at Brisbane Mind & Body Clinic
“Growth can be painful. Change can be painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.” – Mandy Hale
Please Note: We Are a Psychology Clinic, Not Psychiatry
At our clinic, we offer expert psychological support, but our psychologists are not able to prescribe medication. If medication is recommended as part of your treatment, a psychiatrist will be required to prescribe it. However, we can provide a formal diagnostic report to assist in that process, ensuring you receive comprehensive care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It is characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can impact daily functioning and quality of life.
How can I tell if I or my child has ADHD?
It's essential to consult with a qualified professional for an accurate diagnosis. At our clinic, our experienced psychologists specialise in assessing ADHD. Through a comprehensive evaluation involving interviews, questionnaires, and observation, we can determine if ADHD is present and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
What treatment options are available for ADHD?
Our clinic offers evidence-based treatments tailored to each individual's needs. These may include cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), behavioural interventions, parent training, medication management (where appropriate), and psychoeducation to help clients and their families better understand and manage ADHD symptoms.
Can adults be diagnosed with ADHD?
Yes, ADHD can be diagnosed in adulthood. Many individuals with ADHD may not receive a diagnosis until later in life, as symptoms can sometimes be overlooked or mistaken for other conditions. Our clinic provides specialised assessments and treatments for adults who suspect they have ADHD.
How long does an ADHD assessment take?
The duration of an ADHD assessment can vary depending on individual circumstances. Typically, it involves an initial intake appointment, assessment sessions, gathering collateral information, and a feedback session to discuss the results and recommendations. The process usually takes several weeks to complete.
Can ADHD be managed without medication?
While medication can be an effective part of ADHD treatment for many individuals, it is not the only option. Our clinic takes a holistic approach to ADHD management, considering a range of interventions that may include therapy, behavioural strategies, lifestyle modifications, and support systems. We work closely with clients to develop a personalised treatment plan that aligns with their goals and preferences.
Are appointments for ADHD treatment covered by Medicare?
Individuals looking to receive psychological support may seek a referral from their GP.
If you have a referral from your GP or Mental Health Care Plan, you will receive a Medicare rebate of $92.90.
What about Private Health Insurance?
It depends on your specific private health plan. You should always contact your insurance provider to inquire about coverage for mental health services and specifically ADHD diagnosis and/or treatment. Private health cover may offer an average of a $50 rebate per consultation.
