I began attending therapy after struggling with both anxiety and depression. Gayle is an amazing women! I would not be where I am today without the support and guidance she offered throughout my sessions. I could not reccomend her services more to anyone struggling!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had my ADHD assessment with Turning Tides Psychology and I’m genuinely so grateful for the experience I had with them. I was quite nervous beforehand and wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I was made to feel comfortable, listened to and understood from the very beginning. The whole process felt calm, supportive and completely non-judgemental, which made it much easier to talk openly about things I’ve struggled with for a long time. The assessment was incredibly thorough and never felt rushed. I felt like they really took the time to understand me as a person rather than just working through a checklist. Receiving my diagnosis and reading through the detailed report afterwards helped so many things finally make sense, and gave me a much clearer understanding of myself and why certain areas of life have been difficult over the years. It’s hard to explain how valuable it is to finally feel heard and to have some answers. I came away from the process feeling relieved, validated and much more hopeful about moving forward. If anyone is considering an ADHD assessment but feels nervous or unsure about taking that first step, I would wholeheartedly recommend Turning Tides Psychology. I’m very thankful for the kindness, patience and professionalism shown to me throughout the whole process. It has genuinely meant a lot.

Communication was one of the stronger points. Emails were answered quickly and the back and forth was smooth. They also gave me an extra hour beyond the formal assessment simply to get to know me, which felt considerate. The diagnostic process itself was more disappointing. During the interviews I was not fully prepared, something I own. Because the way I function has always felt like my normal, it was genuinely hard to recognise and clearly describe the inattentive ADHD patterns (the lifelong internal struggles, time blindness, forgetfulness, the self-sabotage that never felt intentional, the perfectionism and anxiety that sat underneath everything). After the interviews I spent around 12 hours compiling a detailed 9 page document: digging up pre-age-12 history, contacting people who knew me then, researching what actually counts as ADHD versus “just being different,” and laying out how I live now. I sent that document explaining that I had under-reported in the sessions for exactly those reasons. They obtained a second opinion from another psychiatrist themselves. Even after that, the final email still said I probably do not have ADHD. I later received a clear inattentive ADHD diagnosis from a different clinic. The clinician there (who also has ADHD) was baffled after reviewing the same material and could not understand how it had been missed. If someone presents with more obvious hyperactive symptoms this clinic may still be fine. For adults whose difficulties have always been quieter, internal, and hard to articulate in the moment, the assessment and follow-up process here did not work.

We’ve had a really positive experience with Neurospectrum in Gosforth. They supported both of my children through their assessments in a way that was friendly, calm, and very professional. The staff have been genuinely lovely at every stage, and it’s been reassuring to have their continued support during medication titration as well. Highly recommend their service.
