Private adult ADHD assessment
in the UK — answers within days

Common signs in adults include persistent difficulty concentrating, chronic disorganisation, impulsivity, restlessness, forgetfulness and struggling at work despite high ability. Many adults with undiagnosed ADHD have spent years developing coping strategies that mask their difficulties. Our ADHD pre-screeneing gives you an initial indication — but only a clinical assessment can provide a formal diagnosis.

The full assessment takes 60–90 minutes via secure video. You will complete pre-assessment questionnaires in advance, which allows the clinician to focus the session on in-depth clinical discussion rather than administrative forms.

Our clinicians are experienced in adult presentations where childhood difficulties may not have been formally recognised.

Yes. Under the Equality Act 2010, a diagnosis from a registered UK clinician via a NICE-compliant pathway is valid for requesting workplace adjustments and Access to Work support. For university students, the same report supports Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) applications.

You receive your written report within the agreed timeframe. If ADHD is diagnosed and medication is appropriate, our clinical partner network can begin titration. We also support you in approaching your GP for a shared care agreement, which would transfer prescribing to NHS rates.
