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 whole assessment can be completed by video. Clinics without it have not listed one. Around half of the clinics here prescribe and around half offer shared care — both are listed on the clinic's own page.

Private ADHD Assessment in Yorkshire & Humber: Complete Guide

Why Choose a Private ADHD Clinic?

Wait times for a private ADHD assessment vary by clinic — some can offer appointments within a few weeks, though this isn’t guaranteed — so compare the current wait time shown for each clinic in Yorkshire & Humber. Reputable private clinics are led by qualified psychiatrists and specialist ADHD clinicians, and registered with the relevant UK healthcare regulator (the CQC in England; HIS, HIW or RQIA in the devolved nations) — always confirm a clinic’s registration before booking.

What to Expect from Your Assessment

A comprehensive ADHD assessment typically involves a detailed clinical interview, review of your medical history, childhood behaviour questionnaires, and standardised ADHD rating scales. Of the 5 clinics in Yorkshire & Humber that publish an appointment length, the middle figure is 2 hours, ranging from 1h 30m to 3 hours — check the clinic's own figure before you book. Assessments can be conducted in person or via secure video consultation. Following your assessment, you’ll receive a diagnostic report that can be shared with your GP.

NHS Right to Choose in Yorkshire & Humber

5 clinics in Yorkshire & Humber accept NHS Right to Choose referrals. This means you can be referred by your GP to a private clinic and receive treatment funded by the NHS, with no out-of-pocket costs for the assessment. Ask your GP about a Right to Choose referral to one of these clinics. Waits vary by clinic and some local NHS areas restrict Right to Choose, so check the current wait time shown for each.

Medication and Ongoing Treatment

13 of the 24 clinics we list in Yorkshire & Humber are licensed to prescribe ADHD medication. If you’re diagnosed with ADHD, your clinician can discuss suitable medication (both stimulant and non-stimulant options) where appropriate. 5 of the 24 publish a titration service to find the right dose. 12 of the 24 say they will set up a shared care agreement with your GP so prescriptions continue on the NHS — that remains your GP practice's decision. Services and prices are as published by each clinic; confirm with them directly.

Choosing the Right Clinic

When selecting an ADHD clinic in Yorkshire & Humber, consider the clinician’s qualifications and experience, assessment methodology, wait times, location (or online availability), and the total cost including follow-up appointments — an assessment fee often does not cover titration or ongoing reviews. Read patient reviews and check the clinic’s registration with the relevant regulator.

Private ADHD assessment in Yorkshire & Humber: what to know locally

Across Yorkshire and the Humber — Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Hull and York — NHS ADHD assessment is commissioned by the area's Integrated Care Boards, and adult waits are long, often measured in years rather than months. West Yorkshire alone has recorded well over ten thousand adults waiting. That backlog is why many people in the region use the NHS Right to Choose route or pay for a private assessment.

Getting assessed in Yorkshire and the Humber

Because you live in England, you have two NHS-funded options: a standard NHS referral through your GP, or NHS Right to Choose, where your GP refers you to an approved independent provider at no cost to you. Right to Choose does not guarantee a shorter wait, and individual ICBs can restrict or pause referrals, so check the current position with your GP or your local ICB first. Our Right to Choose guide explains how it works and lists the clinics that accept it.

Compare the clinics listed above on full cost (assessment plus any titration and follow-ups), the current wait, whether they see people in person or assess online, and whether they offer shared care so your GP keeps prescribing on the NHS. For local detail, see our Leeds page.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private ADHD assessment cost in Yorkshire & Humber?
Private ADHD assessments in Yorkshire & Humber typically cost between £495 and £1,650, with an average price of around £1,156. This usually includes the initial consultation, comprehensive assessment, and diagnostic report. Additional costs may include follow-up appointments (£100-£200), medication reviews (£80-£150), and titration services if you require medication.
How long does it take to get an ADHD assessment in Yorkshire & Humber?
Wait times vary by clinic and are not guaranteed — some offer appointments within a few weeks, others longer, and some local NHS areas restrict Right to Choose. Check the current wait time shown for each clinic above. Report turnaround after the assessment varies too, so ask the clinic what to expect.
Can I use NHS Right to Choose for ADHD assessment?
Yes! 5 clinics in Yorkshire & Humber accept NHS Right to Choose referrals. To use Right to Choose, ask your GP for a referral to your chosen clinic. The NHS will fund your assessment and treatment at no cost to you. This is a legal right under the NHS Constitution, though some GPs may be unfamiliar with the process. If your GP is hesitant, politely refer them to NHS England guidance on patient choice.
What happens after my ADHD diagnosis?
If you're diagnosed with ADHD, your clinician will discuss treatment options including medication, therapy, and lifestyle strategies. If medication is recommended, you'll begin a titration period to find the right medication and dosage. Your clinic can provide ongoing prescriptions and monitoring, or arrange a shared care agreement with your GP. Most people see significant improvement within the first few months of starting treatment.
Do private ADHD clinics offer online assessments?
Yes, many clinics in this region offer secure video consultations for ADHD assessment. Online assessments are just as thorough as in-person appointments and are particularly convenient if you have mobility issues, live far from the clinic, or have difficulty taking time off work. The clinician will conduct the same detailed interview and assessments via video call.
Will my GP accept a private ADHD diagnosis?
A diagnosis from a psychiatrist or specialist clinician at a properly regulated private clinic (registered with the CQC in England, or HIS, HIW or RQIA in the devolved nations) is normally recognised, but whether your GP acts on it — particularly for prescribing — is their clinical decision. Your diagnostic report will include the clinical findings and treatment recommendations they need. Some clinics will also set up a shared care agreement so prescribing transfers to your GP on the NHS, again at the practice’s discretion.
Can adults get assessed for ADHD, or is it just for children?
Yes, most private clinics in Yorkshire & Humber assess both adults and children for ADHD. Adult ADHD is increasingly recognized, and many people aren't diagnosed until adulthood when symptoms impact their work, relationships, or daily functioning. The assessment process for adults focuses on current symptoms as well as evidence of ADHD in childhood.
