Finding clarity starts here.

From getting an appointment, all the way through to a confirmed diagnosis: we’re here to make assessments for ADHD easier. Here’s what to expect when starting your diagnosis journey with us.

  • Step 1

    Take our 5-minute pre-assessment.

    Clock Icon

    Tell us about you, your health, and how you feel. This gives us a brief picture of your symptoms and an idea of whether a video consultation might help you. If we don’t think the consultation will be worth your time, your payment will be fully refunded.

  • Step 2

    We’ll verify your ID and NHS record.

    Clock Icon

    Before your video appointment, our clinician will review your NHS record, and we’ll verify your ID. This helps us make recommendations that are safe for you. We can usually do these steps without you having to do anything (other than give us your consent).

  • Step 3

    Your supporting info contact completes a short survey.

    Clock Icon

    We’ll email a person of your choosing to fill in an online questionnaire about you and your symptoms. This should be someone who's known you since birth, like a close family member.

  • Step 4

    Your video consultation.

    Clock Icon

    After reviewing your pre-assessment, our clinician will invite you to book a video consultation. Our appointments generally last at least 90 minutes, and we recommend allowing extra time in case you and our clinician need to talk for longer.

  • Step 5

    We'll review your case.

    Clock Icon

    Our ADHD clinician will review your case and come to a decision on your diagnosis.

  • Step 6

    We’ll give you your diagnosis.

    You’ll normally get a decision at the end of your consultation.

How does it work?

How does it work?

It all starts with the pre-assessment. It’s a 5-minute series of questions you can answer online, and helps us to know if a further consultation with our ADHD clinician is going to be worth your time (and £249 fee).

Our clinician will then review your answers. If they think a consultation is right for you, they'll ask you to provide contact details for someone who knows you well, so we can email them a short online survey to complete. This can be a parent, or anyone else who's known you since birth, and knows information about your developmental history and your mother's pregnancy with you (such as an extended family member or family friend). The survey should only take 5 minutes.

Once your chosen person has completed this, you’ll be invited to book an appointment. You can choose your own time, and we usually have slots available on either the same or the next working day. The average appointment length is around 90 minutes.

At your consultation, our ADHD clinician will talk about your feelings and symptoms with you, ask you some questions, and discuss your medical history.

After your consultation has finished, our clinician will put together a report based on your discussion, and make a decision about your diagnosis.
