Oxford CBT

NHS Right to Choose & Specialist ADHD Assessments Across England

Oxford CBT provides comprehensive ADHD and autism assessments for adults, children and young people across England, offering both private assessment pathways and NHS-funded assessments through the NHS Right to Choose pathway for eligible patients.

As a CQC-registered provider, Oxford CBT is supported by a multidisciplinary neurodevelopmental team including HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologists, Consultant Psychiatrists, Paediatricians, BABCP-accredited clinicians and other experienced specialists with expertise in ADHD and autism assessment.

Oxford CBT's approach goes beyond diagnosis. The team provides clear, evidence-based assessments alongside ongoing support where appropriate, including ADHD coaching, psychological therapy, autism support, parent guidance and follow-up care, helping individuals and families understand their diagnosis and access practical support for the next stage of their journey.

Face-to-face appointments are available at clinics in Oxford, Worcester and Sutton Coldfield, with remote appointments available where appropriate, allowing individuals across England to access specialist support.

Assessment Process

Assessment is carried out by the practice's clinicians and produces a formal diagnosis with a detailed report and feedback session. Oxford CBT provides thorough, personalised assessments designed to give individuals a clearer understanding of their strengths, needs and experiences. Assessments involve detailed clinical discussions, developmental history and evidence-based assessment methods, with input from appropriately qualified clinicians.

Where diagnostic criteria are met, individuals receive a formal diagnosis, a comprehensive report and personalised recommendations to support education, employment, relationships and daily life.

Support Beyond Assessment

For many people, an assessment is the beginning rather than the end of their journey. Unlike assessment-only services, Oxford CBT can provide ongoing support from the same experienced team, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, ADHD coaching and psychological support where appropriate. The team can also support individuals with medication referral pathways where clinically indicated, helping ensure they have access to appropriate ongoing care following assessment.

Right to Choose

If you are registered with a GP in England and your GP agrees that an ADHD or autism assessment is appropriate, you may be able to choose Oxford CBT through the NHS Right to Choose pathway, allowing you to access an NHS-funded assessment. The team can also support individuals seeking a private assessment.

If you're unsure which pathway is right for you, the team is happy to help explain your options and answer any questions before you book or speak to your GP.
