In Singapore, ADHD is usually diagnosed by psychiatrists, psychologists or developmental-behavioural pediatricians. When I receive referrals for ADHD assessment from psychiatrists or pediatricians, it's usually when they want more comprehensive testing to check on IQ and other conditions like learning disorders. You could also look up the specific practitioner’s area of expertise or specialisation, e.g. some psychologists may specialise more in adult psychotherapy rather than ADHD assessment.
