How it works
Your assessment journey, step by step
Every stage is designed so you know what happens next, who you will meet and what you will receive at the end. For a closer look at the appointment itself, read what happens during an adult ADHD assessment.
- 01
Start with screening
Complete our free online adult ADHD screening before booking.
Our free initial screening helps you explore whether the symptoms you're experiencing may be consistent with ADHD and whether you may benefit from a full assessment.

Book your assessment
Choose an available appointment and pay securely online.
Booking and secure payment are handled securely online.
Book your assessment - 03
Complete your questionnaires
Once you've booked, we'll send you a small number of questionnaires to complete before your appointment.
These help your clinician understand your experiences in more detail and make the assessment itself as focused and useful as possible. They are completed securely within our clinical systems, not on this website.
- 04
Attend your assessment
Meet remotely with an experienced ADHD clinician for a comprehensive 2-hour clinical assessment.
Your 2-hour assessment takes place by secure video call from wherever you are in England or Northern Ireland.
- 05
Attend your follow-up
Once your assessment has been reviewed and your report finalised, attend a 15-minute follow-up appointment.
Your clinician will discuss your diagnostic outcome, share your completed report and answer questions about the next steps. A diagnosis is never guaranteed.
- 06
Post-assessment support
Following your assessment, you can choose two complimentary post-assessment coaching sessions with an independent coaching partner, helping you understand your outcome, reflect on what you have learned about yourself and consider practical next steps.
These optional sessions are available regardless of your diagnostic outcome. Coaching is supportive and non-clinical, and is separate from ADHD assessment, diagnosis, medical treatment and psychological therapy.
The final coaching step is optional and delivered by independent coaching partners. Read about post-assessment coaching and how you choose a partner.

Where your clinical information lives
Clinical questionnaires and health information are handled securely within appropriate clinical systems, and are not unnecessarily stored on this public website.
Your information is treated in line with UK data protection law, and is only used for your assessment and care.
What the outcome can be
An assessment is about finding the right explanation, not simply receiving a diagnosis. Booking an assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis of ADHD.
Whatever the outcome, the clinical findings will be explained clearly and a comprehensive written report will be provided.
Where you live and how this pathway applies
Assessments are delivered online across England and Northern Ireland. If you are in Northern Ireland, these pages set out how the same pathway works locally, including alongside HSC waiting lists.
