Our History: Making Expert ADHD Care Accessible Across Ireland

Psychologist discussing an adult ADHD assessment with a client – Vera Mental Health, Ireland

Vera Mental Health Clinic was founded with a clear purpose: to make specialist adult ADHD assessment and care accessible, ethical and evidence-based for people across Ireland. Many adults live for years with unrecognised ADHD, quietly struggling with focus, organisation and overwhelm, and then face long waits when they finally seek an assessment. We built Vera to offer a clear, clinically rigorous path from your first questions to a formal diagnosis and ongoing support.

 

Why We Focus on Adult ADHD

Many of the people who come to us have spent years wondering why everyday tasks feel harder for them than for others. Difficulties with attention, time management, procrastination or emotional regulation are often misunderstood, by others and by the person themselves. We believe every adult deserves a timely, professional answer, and a team that takes their experience seriously.

 

A Psychologist and Psychiatrist-Led ADHD Assessment

Every full ADHD assessment at Vera brings together two clinicians. A PSI-registered specialist psychologist conducts a structured clinical interview using the DIVA-5, the gold-standard diagnostic interview for adult ADHD. An IMC-registered Consultant Psychiatrist then reviews the findings, confirms the diagnosis and outlines a personalised treatment plan. You receive a comprehensive written diagnostic report within 2–3 days, accepted by GPs, employers, universities and the CAO.

Online Across Ireland, No GP Referral Needed

All of our appointments take place online, so you can be assessed from the comfort of your home, whether you live in Dublin, Cork, Galway or anywhere else in Ireland. No GP referral is required: you can book your ADHD assessment directly with us.

 

Support Beyond Diagnosis

A diagnosis is a starting point, not an end point. After your assessment, our Consultant Psychiatrist can provide ADHD medication management, follow-up appointments and repeat prescriptions. Our senior psychologists and psychiatrists also offer individual therapy to help you build practical strategies, resilience and long-term wellbeing.

 

The Values That Guide Our Care

At Vera, we see each person as a whole, never as a label, a case or a category. Our work is grounded in scientific evidence, ethical practice and continuous professional development. We maintain strong clinical governance, clear referral and escalation pathways, and ongoing quality assurance, so that care is delivered safely, confidentially and in line with Irish and European professional frameworks. Because we believe that mental wellbeing is not a privilege, but something everyone deserves.
