How long does the ADHD assessment take?

The full assessment takes approximately 90 minutes. Reports are provided within one week after the session.

Do I need a GP referral?

No referral is required. You can contact us directly to begin your ADHD private assessment.

Is the service available under Right to Choose?

While our service is private and NHS-approved, we currently operate independently of Right to Choose pathways.

Can I get medication or shared care after the diagnosis?

We do not prescribe medication but will guide you on how to share your report with your GP or psychiatrist for further management.

What happens if I already have a diagnosis?

If you’re looking for a second opinion or need a report for school, work or support services, we can still help. Contact us to discuss your case.

How much does the private ADHD assessment cost?

Our full assessment is priced at £595, with no hidden fees. Payment plans are available.

Can adults be diagnosed with ADHD privately in the UK?

Yes. Adults in the UK can be assessed and diagnosed with ADHD by a qualified specialist clinician in either an NHS or private service. The diagnostic criteria and clinical standards are the same; the difference is the funding pathway.

Do you need a GP referral for a private ADHD assessment?

No. A GP referral is not required for a private assessment. However, many patients inform their GP so medical records can be updated and to discuss possible shared-care prescribing after diagnosis.

Is a private ADHD diagnosis recognised by the NHS?

An NHS GP may accept a private ADHD diagnosis if the assessment was comprehensive, followed NICE guidance, and included a detailed clinical report. Acceptance varies by GP practice and local policy.

How long does an ADHD assessment take?

A full ADHD assessment is usually significantly longer than a standard appointment and may involve multiple stages including questionnaires, developmental history and clinical interview. It is not a quick screening test.

Can ADHD be diagnosed without school reports?

Clinicians must confirm symptoms began in childhood. For adults this may come from school reports, parental information, or reliable childhood history. Teacher reports are helpful but not always mandatory in adults.

Is there a test for ADHD?

There is no single medical test for ADHD. Diagnosis is made through a clinical assessment using DSM-5 criteria and evidence from multiple sources rather than a scan or blood test.

Simple 3-Step ADHD Assessment Process

We’ve made it easy to get started with a private ADHD assessment in the UK. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Screening Assessment

After you reach out, we send you a free screening pack. This includes:

ASRS (for adults)
SNAP IV (for children)
A personal questionnaire to learn more about your history

Once submitted, we review and score your responses. If results indicate potential ADHD, we’ll invite you to book a full assessment.

Step 2: Comprehensive ADHD Assessment

Your 90-minute assessment is conducted online via Microsoft Teams or, if local, we can arrange a home visit (with a small travel fee). Our multi-disciplinary team observes and records your responses, applying NICE guidelines and validated tools like the DIVA-5.

You’ll receive a detailed report within three weeks, summarising whether you meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and outlining the clinical reasoning behind the decision.

Step 3: Follow-Up and Support

Every client receives a free follow-up session to discuss their report. If no diagnosis is made, we’ll help you explore alternative explanations and further support options.

Ongoing therapy sessions are available for those needing continued help with ADHD-related challenges.
