Does an online assessment differ from an in-person assessment?
Our autism and ADHD assessments follow the same structured process and clinical standards whether delivered online or in person, using recognised tools and NICE aligned guidelines. You’ll meet a specialist clinician via secure video, from your own home, which can feel more comfortable and remove the stress of travel or unfamiliar clinics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Want to know more about how we can help?
Everyone’s mind is unique. Many of us are neurodivergent. And while the neurological differences that make us individuals can bring challenges, we believe that with understanding, empathy and expert support, everyone can thrive.
I don’t have anyone to help with the pre-assessment questionnaires, will this affect my assessment? (For adults)
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.
What happens if I'm not diagnosed?
Our adult ADHD assessment process includes a free screening stage, carried out by our psychology team and led by a consultant clinical psychologist. They will look at information contained within your referral, as well as scores from a well-researched and clinically validated screening tool. This information will show whether ADHD is indicated, or not. And even though it’s not diagnostic, it will enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to proceed with a full assessment before making any financial commitment. However, it is important to understand that despite the screening process being positive for ADHD, sometimes the outcome of the assessment will be a non-diagnosis. This means you don't meet the threshold to be diagnosed with ADHD. If this is the case for you, our clinical team will still be able to provide recommendations for further support and we may even be able to ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment should this be clinically appropriate.
My child’s school doesn’t have any concerns, so how will this affect the assessment?
We always take the school’s observations into account, as this is an integral part of the assessment. To diagnose autism, it must be clear in multiple environments. As school is very structured, it is often a great place to be able to see it. However, if school does not report any observations of autistic traits, it does not mean there will be no diagnosis, as there can be other reasons for this. Autistic children can be ‘model’ students as they follow rules very well and quietly get on with their work. They can mask and make it seem like all is well but then have a ‘meltdown’ as soon as they get home. Our team are very familiar with this and will take everything into account when assessing.
Will my teenager's school / college accept a diagnosis?
Yes. Our assessments fully comply with NICE guidelines and are conducted using a highly regarded clinical model. Your teen will be seen by a specialist clinician (a paediatrician or psychiatrist) as part of the assessment, which is not always the case with private services. We are also a trusted NHS provider and frequently work with NHS Trusts and ICBs to support waiting lists. This means a diagnosis from our service is generally accepted by both the NHS and schools or colleges when supporting adjustments.
When is an in person autism assessment still required?
In some situations, meeting in person allows us to build a fuller and more accurate understanding. This may be recommended where:
- a child is very young or may find it difficult to stay engaged online
- there are more significant communication differences
- behaviour needs to be observed in more detail
- the presentation is more complex or unclear
If we feel an in‑person assessment is the best approach, we will always discuss this with you and explain our reasoning.

Neurodiversity enriches our society.
