It is important that we collect as much relevant information as possible before your consultation with our doctors. You will be sent questionnaires that you will need to fill out. You will also need to find a relative or someone who has known you ideally since childhood to fill out an additional observer questionnaire. We recommed you complete these questionnaires well in advance of your appointment and put aside a couple of hours of time for this.

An ADHD assessment is a detailed, evidence-based report that not only confirms whether you have ADHD, but explains how it affects you and provides clear recommendations for treatment, work, and study support.

We aim to complete the written report within 7 working days.

Many GPs accept clearly documented private ADHD reports, though this cannot be guaranteed.

Yes the report can be used for both work place adjustments and university support.

If a diagnosis of ADHD is confirmed, we can: discuss evidence-based treatment options; provide guidance on medication and non-medication approaches; and advise on shared care arrangements where appropriate. We do not recommend treatment unless it is clinically indicated and in line with best practice.

Medication is not automatically prescribed. Treatment decisions are based on clinical need and suitability.

If you are simply after an ADHD assessment there are no follow ups required. If you would like to trial medication we typically need to see you for a 45 mins medication initation consultation and we then need to see you at regular monthly intervals for 30 mins appointments until you are stable and medication has been optimised. Each client is unique but the number of appointments to achieve a stable medication regime in ADHD is often in the order of 3-6. Letters requiring GP time are chargeable. There is also a monthly prescription charge. Most ADHD medications are controlled drugs which means we can only legally issue you with 1 month's supply at a time.

ADHD in adults often overlaps with anxiety, low mood, chronic stress, or physical health concerns. We take time to understand the full picture, not just symptoms in isolation. Where criteria are not met, this is explained clearly, along with guidance on alternative explanations and appropriate next steps.
