Prices are the clinic’s own private fee. Free on NHS means they take Right to Choose referrals, so the NHS covers that service. Online means the clinic is marked as offering the whole assessment by video call, for at least one age group. Clinics without a mark may still offer it, so ask the clinic. Nearly all of the clinics here prescribe and nearly all offer shared care: both are listed on the clinic's own page.

About ADHD assessment in Liverpool

We list 7 private ADHD clinics serving Liverpool, with assessments from £495 and a typical wait of about 1–2 wks. Wait times vary by clinic, so compare the current wait shown for each. 1 of them accept NHS Right to Choose referrals, where the NHS pays for the assessment. Some local NHS areas now limit the number of Right to Choose assessments they fund and have set minimum waits, so an NHS-funded wait can be much longer than the private wait shown for a clinic. Before your GP refers you, ask the clinic whether it is taking Right to Choose referrals from your area and what its wait is.

Every listing shows the clinic’s assessment price, typical wait, services and reviews, so you can compare Liverpool options side by side.

Private ADHD assessment in Liverpool: what to know locally

Liverpool sits within NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB, which commissions adult ADHD assessment through several providers rather than a single service. The largest, Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, reported around 4,435 adults waiting against 641 assessments in 2024/25: an effective wait of roughly 6.9 years.

Because the ICB uses several providers, ask your GP which one your referral would go to before assuming that figure applies to you.

NHS Right to Choose is a legal right in England and lets your GP refer you to an approved independent provider at no cost to you, though it does not guarantee a shorter wait. Some clinics will write to your GP asking for shared care after a private diagnosis, but your GP does not have to agree.

Confirm prices, waits and referral status directly. Not medical advice. For anything clinical, speak to your GP.

How long is the wait for an ADHD assessment in Liverpool?
Private clinics serving Liverpool have a typical wait of about 1–2 wks: wait times vary by clinic and aren't guaranteed, so compare the current wait shown for each. Some local NHS areas now limit the number of Right to Choose assessments they fund and have set minimum waits, so an NHS-funded wait can be much longer than the private wait shown for a clinic. Before your GP refers you, ask the clinic whether it is taking Right to Choose referrals from your area and what its wait is.
Can I get an online ADHD assessment in Liverpool?
Yes. 5 of the 7 clinics listed in Liverpool are marked as offering the whole assessment by video call; clinics without the mark may still offer it. Video appointments can suit people with mobility issues, who live far from a clinic, or who find it hard to take time off work. Ask each clinic you are considering whether it runs online assessments and, if so, how and for which ages.
Can I use NHS Right to Choose for an ADHD assessment in Liverpool?

Right to Choose is a legal right in England under the NHS Constitution. Some local NHS areas now limit the number of Right to Choose assessments they fund and have set minimum waits, so an NHS-funded wait can be much longer than the private wait shown for a clinic. Before your GP refers you, ask the clinic whether it is taking Right to Choose referrals from your area and what its wait is.
