We’ve had an absolutely fantastic experience with Neurospectrum. We recently used them for assessments and have already recommended them several times since. The staff are genuinely lovely, so thoughtful, and the level of care and service has been everything we could have hoped for. The feedback from the people we have recommended to them have also had nothing but positive things to say.

Due to previously witnessing the outcomes from NeuroSpectrum as they assessed children and young people I worked with in a professional capacity I opted to use NeuroSpectrum when my daughter’s difficulties became apparent. My choice was made due to their ability to assess for neurodiversity and early childhood trauma due to my daughter being adopted. the outcome has exceeded my expectations. The care and consideration shown to my 6 year old daughter, and to ourselves has been outstanding. I had tentative concerns that my daughter wouldn’t engage as she struggles to open up to strangers but the staff truly know how to not only engage highly anxious children, but how to make the child actively enjoy the activities needed for assessment. My daughter now classes Dr Jake as her friend. It was heartwarming to hear her say that she feels Dr Jake was proud of her. Advice and support was given regarding how to prepare her for assessment and how to explain neurodiversity to her following the outcome received. A comprehensive report was provided following assessment and this provided us and my daughters school with the knowledge needed to alleviate her severe anxiety, and the tools needed to reach her potential. I am Grateful that feedback was given directly to school staff, with a breakdown of recommendations for future learning. I will continue to work with NeuroSpectrum to access therapy moving forward and would like to thank all of the staff for their care of our family.

We were lucky to be recommended Neurospectrum and have worked with them to pursue an AHDH and autism diagnosis for my daughter. The whole process has been easy to navigate, we’ve been fully informed along the way and all interactions have been constructive, positive, personal and client centred. All of the professionals we worked demonstrated great insight, care and professionalism. More importantly, the experience has been hugely positive for my daughter.

We're coming to the end of a very compassionate and thorough Autism assessment for our 15 year old. We couldn't speak more highly of every single member of staff involved in our care. The whole team are clearly very passionate about their work and the service they provide. They put our daughter at ease throughout all of the assessments and listened to/validated our concerns as parents. We had complete trust and faith in their processes. Our daughter's school were included in the assessments and the school staff involved also commented to us that they were impressed with Neurospectrum's approach. We've had our feedback appointment this week with confirmation of diagnosis...a relief but emotional too. I loved the reassurance to our daughter at the end of it... "You are wonderful as you are and you have the ability to do anything you want to." We still have another couple of pieces to finalise this assessment (feedback with school and the final written report) but we didn't want to wait for that before writing this review. The Neurospectrum team have been amazing!!! I'm so glad they were recommended to us and that we took that first step. I would highly recommend contacting them if you have any concerns for your child or yourself. I wish we had done this sooner, for our daughter's sake, but the process has also reassured me that it is never too late either. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Service Over the past few months, Neurospectrum have been incredibly supportive in helping us navigate an ADHD diagnosis for my son. Through a range of thorough assessments and close liaison with his school, they’ve made a complex process feel manageable and reassuring. Every member of the team is warm, approachable, and genuinely caring — they’ve consistently put us at ease. The offices themselves are welcoming and homely, which makes a real difference during what can be an emotional journey. We’re so grateful for their expertise and kindness. I would definitely recommend.
