Yes, we provide both assessment and treatment your clinician will discuss options with you before deciding whether medication is suitable.

Our private ADHD assessment and treatment service is for adults aged 18 and over. Appointments are available online across the UK and in person on the Isle of Wight.

The assessment typically lasts approximately 90 minutes. Your clinician will take the time to explore your current experiences, developmental history and how possible ADHD traits affect different areas of your life.

The assessment includes a detailed clinical discussion and the use of recognised diagnostic tools, including the DIVA-5. The clinician will consider your symptoms, history, day-to-day functioning and whether another condition may better explain some of your experiences.

The outcome of the assessment will normally be discussed with you during your appointment. If the clinician needs further information before reaching a conclusion, they will explain what is required and what will happen next.

Yes. You will receive a comprehensive written report explaining the assessment findings, diagnostic outcome and any recommendations for treatment or further support.

Reports are usually completed within two to four weeks following your assessment.

The clinician will provide clear feedback and may discuss alternative explanations for your experiences. Where appropriate, they may also recommend other assessments, services or practical forms of support.

The registration pack must be completed and returned before an appointment can be booked. Additional questionnaires are recommended because they provide useful information for the assessment, but they are not mandatory.

No. Information from someone who knows you well can be helpful, particularly when exploring childhood experiences, but the assessment can still proceed if this is not available.

Yes. School reports and other childhood records can be helpful but are not essential. Your clinician will explore your developmental history with you during the assessment.

Shared care is entirely at the discretion of your GP and cannot be guaranteed. A request can usually be considered once medication titration has been completed and your treatment is stable. If your GP does not accept shared care, prescribing and reviews can continue privately.

No. Medication is not automatically prescribed following a diagnosis. Your clinician will discuss the available options and consider your health, preferences and individual circumstances before deciding whether medication is suitable.

Medication is not included in our appointment or prescription fees. The medication cost is paid directly to the dispensing pharmacy and may vary depending on the medication, dose and pharmacy used.

This varies according to your individual treatment plan. More frequent reviews are generally required during the initial medication titration period. Once treatment is stable, appointments are usually less frequent.

If you are considering or receiving ADHD medication, you will need to provide appropriate physical health information, including current blood pressure and pulse readings. Your clinician will explain the monitoring requirements.

Yes. Medication is not suitable or preferred by everyone. Your clinician can discuss practical strategies, lifestyle recommendations, coaching and other forms of support.

Potentially. You will normally need a transfer-of-care appointment so that the clinician can review your previous diagnostic report, medical information and current treatment. Acceptance for ongoing care will depend on the quality of the original assessment and clinical suitability.

Yes. Online appointments are available across the UK, and in-person appointments are available on the Isle of Wight. We will advise you if any part of your care needs to take place in person.
