I am so glad I made the decision to reach out & make an appointment for an assessment with ADHD Direct. The whole process, thus far, has been really simple and the level of communication has been great. I was anxious as hell on the day of my assessment but the lovely Nicola made me feel at ease straight away. I felt as though I could have talked to her all day (apologies Nicola!) To finally be listened to and taken seriously when previously I’ve faced ridicule, disbelief & belittling behaviour from a lot of people. I felt HEARD. I’m only at the start of my journey now but I am so unbelievably grateful for Nicola and the team for all they have done and are doing for me. This experience has actually been life changing.

My daughter now 13 years of age had waited over 6 and a half years to be seen by NHS for her ADHD issues. Over this time we had gone thru hyper activity, never sleeping, physically and verbally abusing myself and her other siblings to teenage hormones and her not getting up, refusing to go school, struggling with friendships all social situations and totally zoning out in class still no sleeping and over eating to the point she is classed as obese. I was told frankie would not be seen my NHS before she leaves high school which is far to late and no help for her education or future. I was given a few companies that did child assessments privately and as we live in the remote north west of highland Scotland it had to be somewhere easily accessible. I approached a few but each one was slow getting back to me. ADHD direct replied straight away and gave me all the information needed and informed me of what they needed regarding doctors and the school and my information as her mum. I was given the choice of every day of the week and as quick at next week for exam. So I took it, it was amazing to see the relief lift off my daughter whilst going thru the assessment with Rebecca Randall she with thorough, kind and do helpful. She spoke to Frankie directly and Frankie easily explained her feelings to her. Rebecca said she had family with ADHD and she really understood my daughter. After the consultation Rebecca got straight back to us within 30 minutes with her thoughts on the session it was plans and ideas to help with frankies future not just medication but the medication is helping. Frankie has been a lot more content since her diagnosis and hopefully the meds and new ideas will help her in future. The only issue I had was getting the meds because our post code is IV the company they normally use would not delivery but I managed to get to town to acquire the prescription. I would definitely recommend ADHD direct and say I wish I had gone to them years ago! King regards Rachel

Several members of my family (both adults and children) have been assessed for ADHD there. Our latest assessment was great - it took about 2 hours, during which we did had what felt like a long conversation full of questions about our daily life. We did not feel rushed or judged, Rebecca was congenial and professional, immensely patient and very attentive. The report showed equal professionalism and attention to our case - it articulated in clear and objective terms what we live through daily and have a hard time putting into words. This was validating to say the least. Thank you very much.

I had an excellent experience with ADHD Direct. From booking my assessment through to receiving my prescription, the entire process was incredibly quick, smooth, and well organised. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, with helpful reminders and guidance at every stage. Dr Carmichael was fantastic. She made me feel completely comfortable discussing my concerns and conducted the assessment in a friendly, professional, and supportive way. After receiving a positive diagnosis, the next steps were clearly explained, and the medication process was straightforward and efficient. Especially grateful to Nicola, Georgina and team for their kindness, insights, and support throughout the process. Highly recommended!
