Assessment Process

A first consultation usually takes about an hour, with follow-up appointments of around 30 minutes. Prescriptions issued during an appointment are included in the fee. Treatment follows NICE-aligned practice, with symptoms needing to have been present since childhood for an adult ADHD diagnosis to be made.

Practicalities

Appointments are held at Schoen Clinic Chelsea or remotely, though remote consultations are only available while you are physically in the UK. The ADHD assessment fee is not published — Schoen Clinic Chelsea holds the current fees, which are revised annually. Employer or third-party medical reports are £200.
