FAQs

Self-referrals welcome. If you have existing letters or reports that are relevant, you can share them as part of assessment.

Adult ADHD assessments listed here are delivered online nationwide. If you have access needs or questions about format, mention them when you enquire.

Some assessment components may be offered in person where clinically appropriate or preferred; others can be completed remotely. We confirm delivery at triage.

Our adult ADHD packages start at £900 (Core) and range up to £1,800 (Integration & Support). Adolescent pathways start at £1,150 and go up to £2,050. Comprehensive adds autism screening, informant input, two reports, a feedback meeting and tailored recommendations. Clinical triage will help identify which package best fits the assessment question. Final fees depend on the package and any optional add-ons, and are confirmed at triage.

Our adult autism packages start at £1,050 (Core) and range up to £2,650 (Integrated Assessment & Support). Adolescent pathways start at £1,300 and go up to £2,900. Comprehensive includes a full informant interview, complete ADI-R, feedback meeting and dual reporting. Enhanced adds one further specialist assessment or consultation selected according to clinical need. This may be delivered remotely or in person depending on the component required. Final fees are confirmed at triage.

Our adult combined ADHD + autism packages start at £1,800 (Core) and range up to £4,100 (Integrated Assessment & Support). Adolescent pathways start at £2,200 and go up to £4,450. Comprehensive adds fuller informant evidence, complete ADI-R, feedback and dual reporting. Enhanced adds one further specialist assessment or consultation selected according to clinical need. This may be delivered remotely or in person depending on the component required. Final fees are confirmed at triage.

We use validated tools and structured clinical assessment led by qualified practitioners. Reports are written to a high standard; many clients share them with their GP. Uptake can vary by practice — we are happy to discuss what to expect when you enquire.

Once we have received your written consent and payment (in full or a deposit), we usually complete the assessment, offer feedback and provide your report within 4–8 weeks. This depends on your availability and that of your informants, and on whether any additional information or tests are needed. We keep you informed at every stage.

All packages include screening, a full clinical interview, and a diagnostic report. Higher packages add depth — such as ASD screening, informant input, psychiatrist review, medication guidance, and follow-up support — depending on what you need. We can help you choose during triage.

ADHD and autism can overlap, so we screen for autistic traits as part of our ADHD assessment process for most packages, even when we are not completing a full autism assessment. If the screening suggests that autism may also be relevant, we can discuss whether a full autism assessment, combined AuDHD assessment, or staged pathway would be helpful.

We follow recognised diagnostic frameworks and use validated tools with qualified practitioners. Reports are written to a high standard; many clients share them with their GP or education provider. Uptake can vary by practice — we are happy to discuss what to expect when you enquire.

Not always. Assessment should be based on a coherent formulation using multiple sources of information. Enhanced adds one further specialist assessment or consultation selected according to clinical need. This may include a structured observational assessment such as ADOS-2. This may be delivered remotely or in person depending on the component required.

Core includes screening, questionnaires, an ADI-R-informed clinical interview, diagnostic evaluation, and a full report. Comprehensive includes a full informant interview, complete ADI-R, feedback meeting and dual reporting. Enhanced adds one further specialist assessment or consultation selected according to clinical need. This may be delivered remotely or in person depending on the component required. Multidisciplinary adds input from two or more relevant clinical disciplines, brought together in an integrated multidisciplinary formulation. Integrated Assessment & Support adds three post-diagnostic support sessions, family involvement where appropriate, and practical support to translate the findings into everyday life.

Informant input strengthens developmental history and cross-setting picture, especially for the full ADI-R at Comprehensive and above. We will discuss who is appropriate (for example a parent, partner, or someone who knows you well) and obtain consent. If an informant cannot take part, we will discuss what is still possible.

Once we have received your written consent and payment (in full or a deposit), we usually complete the assessment, offer feedback and provide your report within 4–8 weeks. This depends on your availability and that of your informants, and on whether any additional information or tests are needed. We keep you informed at every stage.

Yes — many people explore both. We offer a combined ADHD and autism (AuDHD) pathway where that fits your needs; see our combined assessment service or mention it when you enquire.

You still receive a clear account of what we observed, what was considered, and practical next steps — which might include support for anxiety or ADHD, signposting, or further assessment. The goal is clarity that helps you move forward.

If both are live questions for you, a single joined-up pathway usually gives the clearest picture: one team, one timeline, and explicit attention to overlap. If you only want one condition explored, our standalone ADHD or autism services may fit better — we can discuss at triage.

Yes. We take a full history and may use existing reports, but we still complete a thorough assessment for the additional profile so conclusions are current and defensible. Tell us what you already have when you enquire.

You receive a coherent report that addresses both presentations and how they interact. Where criteria are met, conclusions are clearly stated for each; where not, we explain what we did find and what might help next.

We do not rely on a single measure. We use developmental history, pattern of difficulties across settings, structured interviews, questionnaires, and (where included) observation — then we weigh alternative explanations. The goal is a formulation that fits you, not a checklist score.

Not in every package. Enhanced adds one further specialist assessment or consultation selected according to clinical need. This may include a structured observational assessment such as ADOS-2. This may be delivered remotely or in person depending on the component required.

Multidisciplinary adds input from two or more relevant clinical disciplines, brought together in an integrated multidisciplinary formulation.

You still receive a clear account of what we observed, what was considered, and practical next steps — including support, signposting, or further assessment if needed. The aim is an honest formulation that helps you move forward.
