An ADHD assessment is a detailed clinical evaluation carried out by a qualified specialist—usually a consultant psychiatrist—to determine whether someone meets the diagnostic criteria for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Rather than relying on a single test, the assessment looks at the full picture: your current symptoms, how long they have been present, and how they affect day-to-day life. It typically includes an in-depth interview, validated questionnaires, and a review of relevant personal history such as education, work performance, relationships, and wellbeing.
The goal is to reach an accurate diagnosis and distinguish ADHD from other conditions that can look similar (such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related difficulties, or sleep problems). A comprehensive assessment also helps create the most suitable treatment plan for your needs.
At London Wellbeing Care, our assessments are structured, supportive, and focused on understanding you as an individual. During your appointment, you can expect:
A thorough consultation in a calm, non-judgemental environment to help you feel comfortable throughout the process.
A detailed clinical interview exploring your current challenges, strengths, and the impact of symptoms on areas such as work, education, home life, and relationships.
Standardised ADHD questionnaires and rating scales to assess patterns of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
A developmental history review, because ADHD symptoms usually begin in childhood—even if they were not recognised at the time.
Optional supporting information from a partner, family member, or school reports (when available) to add valuable context.
Screening for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, OCD, or sleep-related issues, so the diagnosis is accurate and complete.
Clear feedback at the end of the assessment, including an explanation of findings and personalised recommendations for next steps.
London Wellbeing Care provides evidence-based ADHD assessments and treatment for adults, with a strong focus on personalised care. Our clinicians are experienced specialists who understand how ADHD can present differently in adulthood—including challenges with attention, organisation, motivation, time management, emotional regulation, and impulsivity.
If you are diagnosed with ADHD, we will support you with a tailored treatment plan designed around your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals—helping you manage difficulties while building on your strengths.
We make it straightforward to access a high-quality ADHD assessment—either in London or remotely. Patients choose us because we offer:
Private assessments with flexible appointment times, including evenings (subject to availability).
Online ADHD assessments across the UK, delivered through secure video consultation.
Minimal paperwork, with flexible options to complete forms digitally.
Friendly administrative support to guide you through booking, forms, and next steps.
Clear documentation, including a comprehensive clinical summary and recommendations.
Ongoing clinical guidance after assessment, including support with treatment decisions.
Your ADHD assessment at London Wellbeing Care typically includes:
A comprehensive clinical assessment with a qualified specialist
A personalised plan with practical recommendations
A written clinical report/letter summarising findings and suggested next steps
Letters to your GP or other professionals (upon request)
Workplace or university support letters (upon request, fees may apply depending on complexity)
Guidance between appointments for brief medication or treatment questions (where appropriate)
We may also offer a brief online ADHD screening tool to help you understand whether an assessment could be useful. A high score can indicate a higher likelihood of ADHD, but it is not the same as a diagnosis. The best next step is always a full assessment with a qualified clinician.
No referral is required to book privately. However, if you have a GP referral letter or previous reports, you’re welcome to share them as they can be helpful.
Most adult ADHD assessments take around 2 hours. If you would like additional time to discuss treatment options—including medication—this can be arranged. In some cases, the assessment and treatment planning can be split into separate appointments.
London Wellbeing Care offers:
In-person appointments in London (if applicable to your clinic setup)
Online ADHD assessments anywhere in the UK, via secure video consultation
After your assessment, we will talk you through the outcome and provide clear, practical guidance. If ADHD is diagnosed, your clinician will discuss treatment options that may include:
Psychoeducation (understanding ADHD and how it affects you)
ADHD-focused coaching strategies
Talking therapy (including CBT where appropriate)
Medication options (if clinically suitable)
Lifestyle and wellbeing recommendations (sleep, routine, nutrition, stress management)
Your plan is always personalised—based on your preferences, symptom severity, health history, and what matters most in your daily life.
We believe in transparent pricing. Your assessment fee covers the clinical appointment and the key documentation you need. If you are using private insurance, coverage can vary—so it’s best to confirm directly with your provider.
If you plan to apply for health insurance in the future, note that some insurers may treat ADHD as a pre-existing condition.
ADHD is diagnosed through a clinical assessment, not a single test. Your specialist will consider your symptom history, developmental background, and how difficulties affect your daily functioning. Questionnaires and structured interviews may be used as part of the process.
In the UK, ADHD diagnosis should be made by a suitably qualified specialist—typically a psychiatrist or another clinician with specific training in ADHD—following recognised diagnostic criteria (DSM-5 / ICD).
There is currently no definitive blood test or brain scan that can diagnose ADHD. Diagnosis is based on clinical assessment and evidence from your history and symptoms.
Medication is not required for everyone. If appropriate, your specialist may discuss:
Stimulant medications (commonly used and often first-line)
Non-stimulant options (used in certain cases)
Any medication discussion should include benefits, risks, side effects, and how treatment can be tailored to your routine and needs.
Round-the-clock access to professional healthcare advice and urgent GP assistance whenever you need it most.
Providing trusted healthcare and wellbeing services with care, compassion, and professionalism.
