It is a specialist clinical evaluation carried out by a Consultant Psychiatrist. It establishes whether your experiences meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and rules out other explanations.
An ADHD assessment involves gathering different information about your life now and in childhood: how you focus, organise and manage time, how you got on at school, and how these patterns affect work, home and relationships. Your consultant also looks for conditions that can sit alongside ADHD, such as anxiety, low mood or autism.
Many people reach The ADHD Centre after years of feeling that something did not add up. Undiagnosed ADHD is common in adults, and a professional assessment gives you a clear answer either way, with practical support for what comes next.

Detailed diagnostic report you can share with your doctor, employer or university
Personal treatment and support plan
Follow up reviews and private prescriptions after a diagnosis are charged separately. See all our fees.
Your report sets out a range of options. These can include medication, ADHD coaching, therapy such as CBT, and practical support at work or in study.
If ADHD medication is right for you, we ask your GP for baseline health checks first. It is started at a follow up review, then adjusted over 3 to 6 reviews until the dose suits you.
Once you are settled, we can ask your GP to take over prescribing on the NHS under a shared care agreement. Each practice decides for itself, so it cannot be guaranteed, but most of the people we treat move to this arrangement.

No. You do not need a referral for a private ADHD assessment. You can book directly online or by phone.
All assessments are carried out by Consultant Psychiatrists, not psychologists, who specialise in ADHD in adults.
Before you are seen, we ask you to complete a registration form, which includes a self-report scale with tick box answers. We also ask for two collateral forms: one from someone who knows you now and one from someone who knew you as a child. These should be completed by different people. Your time with the Consultant Psychiatrist lasts 75 to 90 minutes, and you are welcome to bring someone with you. Read more about what happens on the day.
If you have nobody to ask, old school reports can be used instead. We also offer an objective test called a QbCheck for clients without any childhood collateral history, at an additional cost.
The process is exactly the same. The only difference is that you are not in a clinic room with your consultant. You need to be in the United Kingdom at the time of a video appointment.
The diagnosis is made by a GMC registered Consultant Psychiatrist specialising in ADHD and set out in a detailed written report that you can share. Each GP, school or college makes its own decision about how it uses that report.
No. We are unable to issue prescriptions on the day. Blood tests, an ECG and a cardiovascular check are needed first, for your clinical safety and in line with NICE and GMC guidelines. Once the results are back, medication is started at a follow up appointment, which is chargeable.
You receive a clinic letter from your consultant, usually within 2 weeks, followed by a detailed report by secure email setting out any diagnosis and your treatment plan. If medication is recommended, most people need between 3 and 6 follow up reviews to reach the correct dose. Once you are stable, a GP can take over prescribing if they are willing, although this cannot be guaranteed.
Yes. Alongside medical treatment for ADHD, we offer a specialist behavioural coaching programme and an online mindfulness course, so adults have support that goes beyond medication.
We can normally offer an appointment within 2 weeks, though at busy times of year the wait may be a little longer.
