Assessment Process

Stage 1 runs up to 45 minutes and rules out other explanations for your symptoms. Stage 2 is a formal diagnostic assessment of one and a half to two hours, including scored parent or partner rating scales and a full diagnostic report with recommendations. If a diagnosis is made, an initial treatment planning appointment agrees the plan before any medication trial and titration.

Who They Serve

This service is for adults aged 18 and over who live in the UK and are registered with a UK GP. Autism is not assessed, and health insurance is not accepted for ADHD — assessments and treatment are self-funded, as most insurers do not cover the fees in full. Fees vary with the clinic location you choose.
