Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist
GMC Number: 6053859
Dr. Arshad Faridi is a Lead Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist for ADHD Services in an NHS Trust in the home counties surrounding Greater London.
He trained on the St Marys London Child Psychiatry Scheme and has extensive experience working in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). He has a specialist interest in ADHD and feels passionate about helping young people with ADHD.
He is highly skilled in the clinical assessment, diagnosis and management of ADHD in children. He has a wide range of experience in assessing, diagnosing and treating ADHD in children with comorbid conditions including autism, anxiety, depression, panic disorder, attachment disorder and childhood trauma.
Our experience with the ADHD centre has been amazing. Setting up the assessment was straightforward – the assessment itself was thorough and very comprehensive.
The team communicate efficiently and respond to any queries very quickly. I have been very impressed by the service we received.
We met Dr Faridi for the assessment and intervention. He was considered in his approach and was clear in his communication. Treatment plans were discussed in collaboration with my child with clear rational and recommendations.
As a family we had supported our child with non pharmacological approaches as we wanted to avoid the medication route. My child’s difficulties became hard for them to manage and the difference medication and advice around psychological intervention and routine has made to them is remarkable.
Very grateful to the team for guiding us through the process!

Whilst business via Zoom rather then in person are always going to have pluses and minuses, consultations are going to be more so. However, we have nothing but praise for Dr Faridi and how he provided a diagnosis and support for our daughter and ourselves as parents. He was attentive and sensitive to making sure we understood what was going to happen and how we could help our daughter. Since the consultations began we have noticed an improvement in our daughter’s outlook and condition for which we are very happy & grateful.
We have also found Dr Faridi’s support staff to be excellent. They understand what is required, and reply quickly to any queries we send having spoken to Dr Faridi where required.

We have had an excellent experience. Good service. Communication has been good. Mr Faridi is very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. He has a nice manner when communicating with our son. The impact of the diagnosis has been huge and we wish we had done this sooner.

Our 15 year old son had been finding it hard to concentrate and had become disillusioned about school, as a result of which he was getting into trouble for not paying attention and had pretty much given up on himself. A therapist encouraged as to find out if he had ADHD so we approached the ADHD Centre. We were assigned to Dr Faridi (for online sessions, face to face was not possible) who was extremely kind, patient and above all thorough. Within a few weeks our son was diagnosed and put on medication. Since then he has achieved the most amazing turnaround – his teachers are full of praise and his performance has improved beyond recognition. Most important of all, he feels good about himself again and is motivated to do as well as he can. So very big thanks to Dr Faridi and the ADHD Centre.
