The West Dorset Practice

ADHD and Autism Assessment in Poundbury, Dorset

Why Choose The West Dorset Practice?

• Therapy Under the Same Roof: One-to-one therapy and counselling alongside assessment, so support can continue with people who already know the history
• Remote Option: Remote sessions available as well as in-person appointments at Poundbury
• Children and Adults: Both assessed by the same practice, useful where more than one family member is being seen
• Combined Assessment: ADHD and autism assessed together at £2,150, rather than as two separate pathways
• Dorset Base: One practice in Poundbury, convenient for Dorchester and west Dorset
• Also Trains Professionals: The practice provides supervision, training and consultation to other practitioners

Assessment Process

Assessments are carried out at the Poundbury practice or, where offered, remotely. The practice does not publish its assessment steps, appointment lengths, the diagnostic instruments it uses, or the names and registrations of its assessing clinicians: ask about these when you enquire, and ask which professional register your assessor is on.

Medication and Right to Choose

The West Dorset Practice does not prescribe ADHD medication, so a diagnosis here would need to be taken to a prescriber separately if you want to consider treatment. It does not accept NHS Right to Choose referrals, so assessment is self-funded or through insurance.
