Expert care. Genuine compassion. Affordable pricing.
We believe that high-quality psychiatric assessment should not be a luxury. Our service was designed to combine clinical excellence with fees that remain transparent, fair and realistic for families and individuals.
We use a structured pathway over a series of appointments so that assessments are thorough and well considered. Rather than making decisions in one brief session, we take time to understand your developmental history, current difficulties, and how these affect day-to-day life.
Our assessments are based on recognised diagnostic criteria and national guidance. We make clinical decisions carefully and explain them clearly, so you understand the reasons for our recommendations.
We aim to provide:
Thoughtful, detailed assessments
Clear written reports
Practical, individualised recommendations
Transparent and proportionate fees
Coordinated communication with your GP
ADHD Assessments
We carry out a comprehensive assessment of attention, impulsivity, and activity levels across different settings, such as home, school, and work. This includes gathering developmental history, questionnaires, and information from other relevant sources to support an accurate diagnosis.
Autism Spectrum Assessments
We provide a structured assessment of social communication, sensory experiences, and developmental patterns, using recognised clinical frameworks.
General Mental Health
We assess and treat a range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety and low mood, in children, young people, and adults.
Our structured assessment pathway typically includes:
Detailed developmental and clinical history
Exploration of symptoms across settings
School or workplace feedback where relevant
Standardised rating scales
Clinical observation
Collateral information from someone who knows the individual well
This allows us to develop a clear and balanced understanding before reaching diagnostic conclusions.
A full written report is provided following assessment, written in clear language that can be shared with families, schools and GPs.
Where clinically appropriate, we offer medication assessment and careful titration. Physical observations are monitored in line with prescribing guidance, and we liaise routinely with your GP to ensure safe and coordinated care.
Shared care arrangements may be requested with your GP, although acceptance is always at the discretion of the practice.
Our fees reflect the structured nature of our assessment pathway. We aim to keep costs proportionate and clear from the outset, with no hidden charges. Any additional documentation, such as detailed educational forms, is discussed in advance.
Seeking an assessment can feel overwhelming. Many families contact us after months or years of uncertainty. Our aim is to provide clarity, structure and honest clinical guidance.
Whether a diagnosis is confirmed or not, we ensure you leave with a clear understanding of the findings and practical next steps.
Waiting times vary depending on demand, but we aim to complete the assessment process within six weeks of your initial contact.
If you are considering an assessment or would like guidance on the most appropriate pathway, we would be pleased to hear from you.
