We’re with you every step of the way
What happens in a private ADHD assessment?
To provide the most appropriate support, our specialist team needs to understand your own or your child's unique neurodevelopmental profile. Our experienced clinicians conduct thorough online assessments to determine if and to what extent ADHD is playing a role.
step
1
Screening
Our psychology team, led by consultant clinical psychologists, provides a screening process to give initial insights as to whether you or your loved one might have ADHD. If the results indicate ADHD may be present, we'll recommend moving forward with a diagnostic assessment.
step
2
Information Gathering
We gather information from multiple perspectives to understand how ADHD symptoms present across different environments. For adults, before we arrange your online assessment, we also ask for insights from someone who has known you since childhood because neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD are with us from birth. For children and adolescents, we collect observations from school, and in some cases from other settings, where attention, activity levels, and impulse control are important. This comprehensive view helps our clinical team better understand the impact of potential ADHD symptoms in various aspects of life.
step
3
Assessment
Our ADHD diagnostic assessment is carried out by experts in identifying ADHD across different age groups. For children, either a clinical psychologist, consultant paediatrician, or consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist conducts the assessment. Where needed, we triage referrals to determine the most appropriate specialist. During the assessment, the clinician explores your child's strengths, needs, and developmental history, while observing their behaviour and mannerisms. For adults, a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist conducts a thorough clinical interview using the DIVA-2 assessment tool.
This covers how your traits impact your daily life, work, relationships, and childhood experiences. For all assessments, our specialists combine all information gathered from the screening, questionnaires, and the clinical interview, evaluating it against DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. We present the outcome after the assessment, along with specific recommendations for support, adjustments, and treatment options where appropriate.
step
4
Diagnostic Report
Working closely together, our team will produce a comprehensive report providing a clear and detailed breakdown of the assessment. The outcome will be straightforward and easy to understand, and the report can be shared with your child’s school to support a positive and informed conversation about the diagnosis. As our assessments are fully NICE compliant, you can be reassured that our diagnostic reports are recognised and accepted by both the NHS and education systems.
step
5
Support
If the assessment indicates ADHD, we'll discuss with you all appropriate support options for you or your child. This includes a range of possibilities such as medication, psychological support, and behavioural strategies. Together, we'll help identify the most suitable approach. If medication is chosen, a specialist prescriber will assess suitability through routine tests before starting any treatment plan. Regular review appointments monitor the medication's effectiveness and any side effects. Once treatment is stable and working well, we arrange a referral to your local NHS ADHD service or GP for ongoing prescription management and monitoring.

Cherishing unique minds
A trusted provider in Hampshire and Isle of Wight
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how children and adults process attention, activity, and impulse control. For adults, this can impact work performance, relationships, and daily organisation. For children, it can affect learning, social interactions, and behaviour at school and home. When ADHD is identified through professional diagnostic assessment, individuals can access appropriate support and strategies.
Understanding your neurodevelopmental profile can help you access the support you need to thrive. At Psicon, we provide online private ADHD assessments - either individually or combined - for adults, with in-person asessments available at our Basingstoke clinic.
For many people, online appointments are more convenient. They remove the need to travel and allow the assessment to take place in a familiar environment, which can help individuals feel more comfortable and relaxed.

Frequently Asked Questions
We're here to answer your questions
Taking the first steps to understanding why your child feels different, unhappy, or is struggling takes courage. We’re here to help you make sure you find the right support for your child and your family.
We maintain exceptional professional standards and ensure complete adherence to NICE guidelines across our ADHD assessment process. Our reputation as a dependable assessment provider has led to established partnerships with numerous NHS Trusts and ICBs, where we help manage assessment backlogs. Our diagnostic team features specialist psychiatrists and consultant clinical psychologists with extensive experience in ADHD evaluation - a level of expertise that distinguishes us from many other providers. Because of our comprehensive assessment methodology and stringent diagnostic criteria, our evaluations and reports are consistently accepted by the NHS and schools/colleges.
Online ADHD assessments work well for many children, young people, and adults, particularly where:
- the individual can engage in conversation over video
- there is good supporting information from parents, school, or other settings
- the person feels more comfortable being assessed at home
If there are factors suggesting an in‑person assessment would be more helpful, we will discuss this with you so you can make an informed decision.
An in‑person assessment may be more appropriate in some situations, including:
- younger children who may find it difficult to engage online (Minimum 20 minutes on camera)
- individuals with additional developmental or learning needs
- situations where behaviour is difficult to observe remotely
- more complex or unclear presentations
If this applies, we will explain why and talk through the options with you.
Having conducted thousands of ADHD diagnostic assessments, we understand the condition manifests uniquely in each individual. Our evaluation process is designed to identify various presentation styles and coping mechanisms – especially important when assessing females who often develop sophisticated strategies to manage their symptoms. If ADHD isn't diagnosed, our clinical team provides recommendations for appropriate support and can suggest alternative assessments if needed.
We typically request input from someone who has known you since your early years to provide supplementary information during the assessment process, helping us understand your developmental history. The Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-5) specifies that ADHD symptoms must have been present in childhood for a diagnosis to be made. However, we recognise that some people may not have access to someone who can provide this historical context. While having this additional perspective is valuable, its absence won't prevent the ADHD assessment from proceeding. In such situations, we encourage you to share relevant historical documentation that might provide insights into your earlier experiences - such as academic records or previous assessments.
We aim to offer assessment appointments within four to six weeks of receiving all pre-assessment information. The timeline depends on how quickly we receive completed questionnaires from relevant parties (such as family members, schools, or other professionals who know you or your child well).

Everyone's mind processes information differently. Some people are neurodivergent, processing attention and activity in ways that differ from what's typically expected. While these differences can bring challenges, we believe that with understanding, empathy, and expert support, everyone can thrive. Whether you're seeking a private online ADHD assessment for yourself or your child, our support teams are here to help guide your journey.
Please note that you are submitting an enquiry for Psicon’s private service, where the assessment is self-funded. If you are seeking an NHS-funded referral or wish to access the ‘Right to Choose’ pathway, please click here and request a referral through your GP.
