What an assessment involves

A careful assessment of the whole picture

An ADHD assessment explores your experiences, history and the impact of difficulties across everyday life. It also considers other possible explanations and support needs.

For children and young people, we involve the young person and their parent or carer, and seek relevant information from education or other settings.

You receive an explanation of the outcome and recommendations for what to do next, whether or not ADHD is diagnosed.

In their words

Adults who took the first step

Experiences shared by adults assessed through our NHS Right to Choose pathway.

“The test made me realise it wasn’t just me being disorganised. The assessment finally gave me answers after 30 years.”
James, 41Diagnosed with ADHD
“Calm, thorough and kind. My clinician explained everything and the report was excellent for my GP.”
Priya, 28Virtual assessment
“I’d been on a local waiting list for over two years. With Right to Choose I was assessed within a week. Life-changing.”
Sarah, 34Chelmsford
“My GP had never mentioned Right to Choose. Once I knew to ask, the referral took five minutes and I was seen the same month.”
Tom, 37Braintree
“I always thought ADHD looked different to how I experience it. The assessment covered so much more than a questionnaire ever could.”
Aisha, 29Combined presentation
“I did the test between lectures on a whim. Six months later I have a diagnosis, a support plan with my university, and it finally makes sense.”
Emma, 22University student
“Diagnosed at 52, after a lifetime of being told I was scatty. I wish I’d known this pathway existed twenty years ago.”
Rachel, 52Diagnosed later in life
“The virtual appointment was easier than I expected — no travel, no waiting room, just a long, thorough conversation with someone who clearly knew the subject.”
Daniel, 31Virtual assessment
“I’d put off asking my GP for months, assuming it would be complicated. It genuinely took one short appointment to get the referral moving.”
Sophie, 26Colchester
“Everyone assumed I couldn’t have ADHD because I wasn’t hyperactive. The inattentive side had just never been picked up.”
Marcus, 39Inattentive presentation
“The report I got back was detailed enough that my GP and my employer both took it seriously straight away.”
Chloe, 33Essex

Questions

Questions before you start

Which services are NHS-funded?

Our NHS Right to Choose pathway is for eligible adults referred by a GP in England. Our private adult and children's services are self-funded.

Can you assess my child?

We provide private ADHD assessments and treatment for children and young people aged 6–17. Contact our team to check suitability and appointment arrangements.

Do I need a GP referral?

You need a GP referral for NHS Right to Choose. You can contact us directly about private care. We will explain what health information is needed before assessment or treatment.

Will an assessment guarantee a diagnosis or medication?

No. The assessment establishes whether ADHD is the appropriate diagnosis. Medication is considered separately according to clinical need and suitability.

How long will I wait?

Assessment and treatment availability vary by service. Visit the relevant service page or contact us for current information.
