Comprehensive ADHD & Autism Services Tailored for You

Early identification of ADHD symptoms by expert clinicians.

ADHD screening is an important first step in understanding whether you or a loved one may be experiencing symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is not a diagnosis but a helpful tool designed to identify key behavioural patterns and challenges that are commonly associated with ADHD. This process helps determine whether a full clinical assessment is recommended.

At our clinic, we offer a quick, accessible, and confidential ADHD screening experience. The screening includes evidence-based questionnaires and symptom checklists that focus on core areas such as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. You’ll be asked about common struggles, such as difficulties with concentration, memory, task completion, restlessness, or emotional regulation. It’s particularly useful for adults who may have gone undiagnosed in childhood but are now recognising ongoing challenges in their personal or professional life.

Our screening is designed to be user-friendly and only takes a few minutes to complete. It can be completed online, in the comfort of your own space, and the results are reviewed by trained professionals who understand the nuances of adult ADHD. If your results suggest a likelihood of ADHD, we’ll guide you through the next steps — usually recommending a full diagnostic assessment with one of our experienced clinicians.

While screening doesn’t replace a formal diagnosis, it provides valuable insight and reassurance, helping many people take that first step toward clarity and support. Whether you’re exploring concerns for yourself or a loved one, our ADHD screening process is a non-judgemental and empowering starting point. We also offer follow-up consultations to discuss your results and options for next steps, including diagnosis, treatment, or coaching.

Take the first step today — complete your ADHD screening and begin your journey towards clarity and personalised support.

A thorough, adult-focused diagnostic pathway.

Our ADHD assessment explores your profile in depth—how symptoms show up now and across your life, what you find difficult, and what already works well. We consider co-occurring conditions, masking, and overlap with autistic traits so nothing important is missed.

The process typically includes a detailed clinical interview, standardised measures, and (where helpful) informant input from a family member or partner. We also review school or work history and previous reports to build a clear picture of your strengths and support needs

We practise shared decision-making. If ADHD is diagnosed, we discuss tailored options: medication, coaching, workplace/academic adjustments, and practical routines to reduce overwhelm. If the picture is more complex, we’ll explain why and outline a plan you can act on.

You’ll receive a comprehensive written report with conclusions, reasoning, and specific recommendations you can use with employers, universities, and your GP. A feedback session is available to walk you through the results and next steps.

Built for clarity, confidence, and an actionable plan.

Safe, collaborative prescribing with careful follow-up.

When clinically appropriate, we offer ADHD medication with a structured titration plan. We begin with a suitability review, baseline health checks (e.g., blood pressure and heart rate), and an explanation of benefits, side-effects, and alternatives so you can make an informed choice.

Titration is paced to your goals and comfort. You’ll have regular check-ins to review focus, sleep, appetite, and mood, and we’ll adjust dosing accordingly. We also discuss lifestyle strategies—nutrition, movement, sleep hygiene—that make medication work better.

Where possible, we coordinate with your GP, including Shared Care arrangements. If Shared Care isn’t available locally, we’ll explain ongoing options and costs transparently.

Medication is only one part of support. Many people do best with a combined plan—coaching for routines and executive-function skills, plus reasonable adjustments at work or study.

Clear monitoring, responsive adjustments, and honest guidance at every step.

Practical strategies that fit real life (ADHD- and autism-aware)


Coaching turns goals into doable steps. We focus on planning, prioritising, task initiation, time-blindness, and building sustainable routines. Sessions are collaborative and strengths-based, helping you design systems that survive busy weeks—not just good intentions.

If you’re also autistic or suspect you might be, we’ll include sensory and communication strategies, environment tweaks, and burnout prevention. We can involve partners or parents for shared tools that actually help day to day.

Expect clear targets between sessions, gentle accountability, and adjustments as we learn what works for you. We’ll also help you advocate for reasonable adjustments at work or university and set up simple tools for tracking progress.

Coaching works with or without a diagnosis and pairs well with medication titration.

Small changes, stacked consistently, create big results.

Autism Assessment (Adults & Children)

Autism assessment is an important step in understanding whether you or your child may be autistic—and in identifying the supports that make life easier. Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming and sensitive to age, culture, and masking. We also consider AuDHD (autism with co-occurring ADHD), anxiety, and other factors that can shape how traits appear day to day.

Your assessment is clinician-led and thorough. For adults, we explore life history, current strengths and challenges, communication style, executive functioning, sensory profile, and the impact at work, study, and home. For children and young people, we include a developmental history with parents or carers, age-appropriate tasks and observations, and (where possible) input from school or other settings. Validated questionnaires and structured interviews are used to ensure an evidence-based conclusion.

The process is designed to be clear and accessible. Appointments can be completed online or in-person, with options to share previous reports or teacher/GP feedback. We explain each step, what we’re looking for, and how long it’s likely to take. If ADHD traits are present, we’ll discuss whether a combined AuDHD assessment is appropriate or if sequencing assessments would be better for you.

You will receive a clear outcome and a comprehensive written report. This includes an explanation of findings, your strengths, and personalised recommendations—for example, sensory and environment adjustments, communication supports, executive-function strategies, and signposting to coaching or community resources. For children, we provide school-ready guidance that can inform reasonable adjustments and support plans; for adults, we include practical suggestions for workplace or university accommodations.

Take the first step today—book an Autism Assessment or talk to us about a combined AuDHD pathway so we can help you plan the right next steps with confidence.

ADHD Assessment & Diagnosis FAQs

ADHD symptoms can significantly impact impulse control, focus, and emotional stability. Untreated ADHD is linked to difficulties with work, relationships, and self-esteem, as well as increased risks for co-existing conditions like bipolar disorder and anxiety.

We offer a range of ADHD services, including adult ADHD assessments, diagnostic reports, and ADHD tests to determine whether an ADHD diagnosis is appropriate.

Our specialist team includes ADHD specialists and other mental health professionals, ensuring a comprehensive treatment plan for each client.

Once a formal diagnosis is confirmed, our ADHD clinic offers both stimulant and non-stimulant medications, ADHD treatment through therapy, and coping mechanisms to improve focus and impulse control.

If you require private prescriptions, we can provide an assessment appointment to discuss medication options and create a personalised treatment plan that suits your needs.

Whether you prefer ADHD coaching, therapy, or non-stimulant medications, our qualified professionals will guide you towards the best ADHD treatment approach for your lifestyle.

Following a diagnostic assessment, we offer a variety of treatment options tailored to your specific needs. This includes ADHD medication, psychological therapy, and behavioural interventions to help with managing symptoms.

For many people, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective way to manage the emotional and practical challenges of ADHD. We also offer ADHD coaching, which provides ongoing strategies for improving focus, organisation, and productivity in daily life. We take a holistic approach to ADHD treatment, meaning we don’t just focus on medication but also consider lifestyle factors, family history, and structured behavioural observations to develop an effective treatment plan.

Understanding a person’s family history can provide insight into ADHD symptoms, allowing for a personalised treatment plan that meets their unique needs.

Our team includes chartered psychologists, consultant psychiatrists, pharmacists, nurse prescribers, and coaches, ensuring a comprehensive approach to care. As ADHD specialists, we have experience in supporting individuals with mental health conditions, mood disorders, and related neurodevelopmental disorders. We also work alongside other mental health professionals to ensure a multi-disciplinary approach to care, addressing co-existing conditions such as bipolar disorder.

If you’re looking for a trusted ADHD specialist to help diagnose ADHD, manage symptoms, and develop an effective treatment plan, our ADHD specialists can provide the appropriate support you need to navigate ADHD treatment effectively.

Through structured behavioural observations and professional assessments, we ensure an accurate diagnosis that guides practical strategies for symptom management.

Additionally, our team considers the impact of medication costs and can help clients explore their options, including private prescriptions for those who require immediate access to treatment.

If you’re unsure about the best approach for your needs, our specialist team is available for video consultations, offering guidance on medication, therapy, and alternative coping mechanisms tailored to your symptoms.

Yes, we offer online ADHD assessments, which follow the same diagnostic process as our in-person ADHD assessments, which previously took place in-person from our Edinburgh clinic. Remote assessments are now offered throughout the UK, and are designed to be just as thorough and effective, allowing you to receive a full diagnostic assessment from the comfort of your home.

Our online assessment process includes structured assessment sessions, where our expert clinicians gather details about your developmental history, ADHD symptoms, and the impact of ADHD on your daily life. You will also receive a detailed report, which can be used to access appropriate support, including medication, therapy, and workplace adjustments.

For those seeking support beyond the diagnosis, we offer ADHD coaching, psychological therapy, and strategies for managing stress and impulsive behaviour. If you are unsure whether an online ADHD assessment is right for you, book an initial consultation with our experienced clinicians to discuss the best approach.

ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are both neurodevelopmental conditions that can impact focus, communication, and daily functioning. However, there are key differences between them.

ADHD is characterised by core symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behaviour, whereas autism spectrum disorder often involves difficulties with social communication, repetitive behaviors, and sensory sensitivities. Some individuals may have both ADHD and ASD, which is why our clinic also offers ASD assessments alongside our ADHD diagnostic assessments.

If you’re unsure whether you have ADHD, ASD, or another mental health condition, a comprehensive ADHD assessment or autism assessment with our specialist services can help provide clarity. Our experienced clinicians ensure that your diagnosis is accurate and that you receive the right treatment plan and ongoing support based on your unique needs.

We offer a self-referral option, meaning you don’t need to go through a GP or another healthcare provider to book an appointment. You can schedule an adult ADHD assessment, child ADHD assessment (must be over 16), online ADHD assessment directly through our website.

Our private practice provides flexible options for private ADHD assessments across the UK. All ADHD assessments currently are online appointments at this time.

After your diagnostic assessment, we will provide a detailed report outlining your diagnosis, recommended treatment options, and next steps for managing symptoms. We also offer ADHD coaching, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and medication options for long-term support.

If you have any questions about our assessment process, the best treatment approach for you, or whether you need a verbal diagnosis before committing to a full diagnostic assessment, get in touch with our team today.

We prescribe a range of medications to support ADHD management, including both stimulant and non-stimulant options.

Our approach is to tailor medication to each individual’s needs, considering factors like your lifestyle, health, and treatment goals.

Our team provides structured titration and close monitoring to ensure the medication is effective and well-tolerated. We work collaboratively with you to transition to shared care with your GP whenever possible, ensuring long-term continuity and support.

At our Scottish ADHD clinic, we offer private ADHD assessments for those seeking a formal diagnosis without NHS wait times. A private diagnosis includes a comprehensive ADHD assessment, ADHD tests, and a diagnostic report from a qualified professional.

For those requiring ADHD treatment, we provide personalised treatment plans that may include therapy, non-stimulant medications, or private prescriptions for ADHD medication.

While private prescriptions can be an additional cost, they ensure immediate access to medication options without NHS delays.

If you’re unsure whether a private patient route is right for you, we offer an initial consultation where a specialist consultant can explain your options and help you develop a treatment plan that aligns with your needs.

For many, a diagnostic report from our clinic can be used to apply for NHS support later, allowing them to access ADHD specialists and additional ADHD services over time.

Yes, we can help facilitate a shared care agreement for ADHD treatment, including ADHD medication, but it is ultimately at the discretion of your GP or local NHS practice.

A shared care agreement allows your GP to take over the prescribing of ADHD medication after an initial diagnostic assessment and medication titration under the supervision of a consultant psychiatrist or specialist ADHD clinician.

This makes long-term ADHD treatment more accessible, particularly for those who prefer to manage their condition through their GP rather than continuing with private ADHD assessment follow-ups.

From our Scottish Clinic, we offer online private ADHD assessments for adults.

We can provide an evidence-based report on your private ADHD diagnosis in Edinburgh, which your GP may use when considering a shared care agreement.

This report includes behavioural observations, a summary of ADHD tests, and a formal diagnosis if criteria are met.

However, it’s important to note that not all GPs accept shared care, as policies vary across NHS practices.

If your GP declines shared care, we can continue managing your treatment plan privately, ensuring you receive appropriate ADHD medication, non-stimulant medications, and practical strategies for managing your ADHD symptoms.

Additionally, we provide video consultations to discuss your options, whether you are looking for personalised treatment plans, exploring private prescriptions, or seeking tailored support from our specialist team of mental health professionals and other mental health professionals.

Our team will ensure you have a better understanding of your options, whether through NHS services or continued private patient care.

If you would like to discuss whether a shared care agreement is an option for you, we recommend booking an initial consultation with our team to explore the best pathway for your care.

ADHD affects people in many ways, often making it difficult to focus, manage time, regulate emotions, or stay organized.

Many individuals struggle with emotional regulation, impulsive behaviour, and difficulties in academic or professional settings. Some people also experience co-existing mental health conditions, such as eating disorders, mood disorders, or anxiety.

From our clinic based in the UK, our clinical team offer private ADHD assessments for adults, which take the form of online appointments at this time.

Our approach is evidence-based, and we provide each client with a full diagnostic assessment, a detailed report, and personalised treatment plans to help with managing symptoms.

Personalised plan and treatment options vary to provide the best possible care but may include:

ADHD medication to help improve focus and reduce impulsivity.
CBT and psychological therapy to address emotional, eating disorders, and behavioural challenges.
ADHD coaching to provide practical strategies for daily life, work, study, and personal growth.
Specialist ADHD interventions, using the latest research to deliver an evidence based approach, are designed to support individuals with unique challenges related to focus, motivation, and self-regulation.

Although there is no way to cure ADHD, our clinical expertise ensures that each individual receives the support they need to thrive.

We provide ongoing support, including strategies for emotional regulation and improving daily life.

If you would like to explore the best treatment plans, book an initial consultation with our team to discuss the options available to you.

Understanding the Assessment:

A private ADHD assessment is a structured evaluation conducted by experienced clinicians to determine whether you meet the criteria for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Our clinic provides comprehensive ADHD assessments, including a full diagnostic assessment that covers your developmental history, current ADHD symptoms, and impact on everyday life.

The assessment process involves structured assessment sessions, where a clinician gathers information on core symptoms, including impulsive behaviour, inattention, and hyperactivity.

After a thorough diagnostic assessment, you’ll receive a detailed report that provides an accurate diagnosis, along with recommendations for treatment options such as ADHD medication, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and behavioural interventions.

Who It’s For & GP Coordination:

From our Scottish clinic, we offer private ADHD assessments for both adults and children.
If required, we can provide an evidence-based report that your GP may use when considering a shared care agreement.

However, not all GPs accept shared care, as policies vary across NHS practices.
If your GP declines to enter a shared care agreement, you may need to continue with a private diagnosis, ensuring continued access to appropriate ADHD medication through a private prescription.

Our adult ADHD assessments are designed for individuals who have struggled with undiagnosed ADHD, providing them with a formal diagnosis and access to treatment plans.

Long-Term Support & Next Steps:

Identifying ADHD symptoms early can prevent long-term challenges related to self-esteem, impulse control, and mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder.

For those requiring ADHD treatment, we provide personalised treatment plans that may include therapy, non-stimulant medications, and practical strategies for managing daily life.

We also consider medication costs when discussing treatment options, helping clients make informed decisions about their care.
If you suspect you may have ADHD or are struggling with adult ADHD, we encourage you to book an initial consultation to explore your options.

Our specialist team includes qualified professionals who can guide you through the assessment appointment and provide a better understanding of your individual’s symptoms and the best path forward.

If you have a family member who is struggling with focus, organisation, impulse control, or emotional regulation, they may benefit from an ADHD assessment.

Many people go undiagnosed for years, leading to difficulties in education, work, and relationships.

Untreated ADHD can also contribute to co-existing mental health conditions, such as bipolar disorder, anxiety, and self-esteem issues.

At our UK clinic, through online appointments, we offer private ADHD assessments for adults and children.

A qualified professional from our specialist team will conduct structured ADHD tests, evaluate behavioural observations, and provide a diagnostic report for a formal diagnosis.

This ensures an accurate diagnosis and a clear pathway for tailored support.

Supporting a loved one through the ADHD diagnosis process and ADHD treatment may involve:

✅ Encouraging them to seek an assessment – A specialist ADHD assessment can help them gain a better understanding of their specific symptoms and strengths.

✅ Helping them explore treatment options – A personalised treatment plan may include ADHD medication, non-stimulant medications, psychological therapy, and practical strategies for daily life.

✅ Exploring available ADHD services – Our ADHD specialists and mental health professionals can guide your loved one through the assessment appointment process, discuss private prescriptions, and create a structured treatment plan.

If your family member is unsure about seeking an ADHD assessment, they can start with an initial consultation to discuss their options.

Early intervention can lead to improved impulse control, better coping mechanisms, and overall well-being
