Adult ADHD & Autism Assessments | online Australia-wide & Erina
You may have spent years managing, adapting and appearing to cope, while privately wondering why everyday life takes so much effort.
At Elara Psychology Clinic, we provide comprehensive ADHD and autism assessments for adults, with a particular focus on high-masking presentations and people seeking answers later in life, including women and AFAB adults.
Assessments are available online across Australia and in person at Erina on the Central Coast.
doeS THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?looking capable doesn’t always mean things feel easy
Perhaps you keep up at work but have little energy left when you get home. You might rehearse conversations, rely on deadlines to get started, or need more time than others to recover from busy days.
You may have started questioning things after your child’s diagnosis, a period of burnout, or recognising your own experiences in someone else’s story.
You don’t need to know whether it is ADHD, autism, both or something else before enquiring. Assessment provides space to explore these questions and consider what may help explain your experiences.

meet kerryTaking time to understand you
Hi, I’m Kerry, a registered psychologist and director of Elara Psychology Clinic.
I bring 15 years of clinical experience and a particular professional interest in adult ADHD, autism and high-masking presentations, especially in women and AFAB adults seeking assessment later in life.
As a neurodivergent psychologist, I also bring lived experience. My approach is warm, conversational and thorough. We explore your history, current difficulties, strengths and the ways you have learnt to manage. We also consider other factors that may contribute to your experiences.
You’re welcome to ask questions and discuss any communication, sensory or accessibility preferences before we begin.

We’ll talk about your childhood, current life, strengths and difficulties, including patterns that may be less visible to others.
Understanding the outcome
At your feedback appointment, we’ll discuss the findings, explain whether diagnostic criteria are met and explore recommendations relevant to you.

You’ll receive a comprehensive report outlining the findings and personalised recommendations. Reports are usually provided within four weeks of your feedback appointment.
telehealth Australia-wideAttend from a space that feels comfortable
Attend your assessment from a private, comfortable space, wherever you live in Australia.
Online appointments allow you to access adult ADHD and autism assessment without travelling to the clinic. We’ll explain how to connect and discuss any needs or preferences before your appointment.
Prefer to attend in person? Assessments at our Erina clinic on the NSW Central Coast are available until 31 December 2026. From January 2027, Elara Psychology Clinic will provide all appointments online.
unsure where to startWondering whether an assessment is right for you?
You may recognise some experiences associated with ADHD or autism but feel unsure about pursuing a formal assessment.
Our pre-assessment screening and Explore Your Neurotype consultation offer ways to explore your questions and consider whether a full assessment may be helpful.
These services do not provide a diagnosis or replace a comprehensive diagnostic assessment.
You’re also welcome to contact us with questions about the process, fees or which option may suit your needs.
support after an adult adhd or autism diagnosisSpace to make sense of what comes next
A diagnosis later in life can bring new questions about your identity, relationships, past experiences and what you need moving forward.
We offer online post-diagnostic therapy for adults who would like support making sense of their diagnosis and developing practical approaches to everyday life. You’re welcome to enquire whether your assessment was completed at Elara or elsewhere.
Therapy appointments are currently waitlisted. You can contact us to ask about availability or join the waitlist.
