Sound familiar?

You have probably been explaining this away for years

Most people who come to us are not sure they qualify. They have just been quietly compensating for a very long time.

Forty tabs open and none of them finished

Starting is easy. Landing the plane is the part nobody sees.

The letter you have walked past for three weeks

Not laziness. Executive function does not respond to willpower.

Brilliant in a crisis, hopeless with a calendar

Urgency works as a stimulant. It is an expensive way to live.

Told you were bright but "not applying yourself"

Often the first clue, usually decades before anyone checks.

How it works

Our simple, seamless process

Three steps, with the timings up front.

01

Book the slot you can actually see

Within days. Choose a time that suits you, same-day slots are available, and complete your questionnaires online beforehand. No paperwork on the day, and nothing you have already told us gets asked twice.

Book your appointment →
02

Meet your specialist

Same or next day. A full structured clinical interview with a GMC-registered specialist doctor, not a questionnaire and a rubber stamp. NICE-compliant and unhurried, because a rushed assessment is the thing your GP will question.

03

Get your report fast

Within 72 hours. A signed diagnostic report, an outcome letter written for your GP, a personalised plan, and follow-up appointments to review progress and adjust treatment if needed.

Understanding ADHD

What ADHD looks like

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, impulse control and activity levels. It impacts focus, emotions and day-to-day functioning.

Inattention

  • Easily distracted, even by small things
  • Starts tasks but struggles to finish
  • Loses things like keys or phones
  • Often forgetful and disorganised
  • Struggles to follow instructions or focus for long

Hyperactivity

  • Always moving, tapping or fidgeting
  • Feels restless or "on the go" constantly
  • Talks excessively or at inappropriate times
  • Finds it hard to relax or sit still

Impulsivity

  • Interrupts or blurts things out
  • Struggles to wait their turn
  • Makes quick decisions without thinking
  • Takes risks without realising the consequences

Who we see

ADHD does not look the same in everyone

How it shows up at twenty is rarely how it shows up at forty-five, and what you need from an assessment differs too.

Adults, 18+

Assessment, diagnosis and ongoing care, online wherever you are in the UK or in clinic.

Women & late diagnosis

Often missed for years because it presented as anxiety, perfectionism or exhaustion rather than disruption.

Students

Assessment reports written to support DSA applications and university adjustments.

Professionals

Discreet, out-of-hours appointments and letters for workplace adjustments.

Fees

Published in full, because you should not have to ask

No consultation fee to find out the price, no hidden extras, and interest-free plans on every package.

The things everyone asks
