Understanding ADHD

You have been managing this for a long time.

ADHD is a recognised neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control and the regulation of energy and emotion. In adults it often looks nothing like the stereotype: it can look like exhaustion from holding everything together, careers that stall despite obvious ability, or a lifetime of being told to simply try harder.

A proper assessment does more than provide a diagnosis. It explains a pattern — and once the pattern is understood, it can be treated.

  • ADHD is common and real. Around 3–4% of UK adults meet the criteria; most were never assessed in childhood.
  • It is highly treatable. Medication, coaching and practical adjustments have some of the strongest evidence in mental healthcare.
  • Diagnosis is a beginning. The goal is not a label — it is a plan that fits how you actually live and work.

Why Clarendon Partners

Care that is thorough where it matters, and simple everywhere else.

We built the clinic we would want for our own families: senior clinicians, generous appointment times, and complete transparency from first enquiry to ongoing care.

Experienced clinicians

Assessments are led by consultant psychiatrists with specialist experience in adult ADHD — not junior staff working from a script.

Comprehensive assessments

Structured clinical interviews, validated rating scales and developmental history — unhurried, and aligned with NICE guidance throughout.

Individual care plans

Your plan reflects your life — work, study, family — not a template. It is reviewed with you and adjusted as things change.

Fast availability

First appointments are typically offered within two weeks, with clear timescales for every stage that follows.

Transparent pricing

Every fee is published before you book. No assessment begins until you know exactly what it costs and what it includes.

Continued support

Diagnosis is the start, not the end. Titration, reviews and coaching continue with the same team that assessed you.

The assessment journey

Six steps. You will always know which one you are on.

From first enquiry to ongoing care, each stage has a clear purpose, a named clinician, and a defined timescale.

  1. Step 1

    Book a consultation

    Choose a time online or speak to our team. We confirm fees, answer questions and send everything you need to prepare.

  2. Step 2

    Initial assessment

    A 90-minute structured interview with a senior clinician covering your history, current difficulties and what you want to change.

  3. Step 3

    Clinical review

    Your clinician reviews rating scales, developmental history and any supporting information against NICE diagnostic criteria.

  4. Step 4

    Diagnosis

    You receive a clear outcome, explained in person, with a full written report you can share with your GP and employer if you wish.

  5. Step 5

    Treatment plan

    Together we agree the right combination of medication, coaching and practical adjustments — with costs and timelines set out in writing.

  6. Step 6

    Ongoing support

    Titration, annual reviews and follow-up appointments with the same team — plus shared-care arrangements with your GP where appropriate.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions.

How long does an assessment take?

The initial assessment appointment lasts around 90 minutes. Including the clinical review of your questionnaires and history, most patients receive their outcome and written report within two weeks of the appointment.

What happens after diagnosis?

You and your clinician agree a treatment plan together. That may include medication with monitored titration, coaching, practical adjustments, or a combination. Nothing is prescribed without a full discussion of options, benefits and side effects.

Will my GP recognise a private diagnosis?

Our assessments are carried out by GMC-registered clinicians and follow NICE guidance, and your written report is designed to sit in your GP record. Once your medication is stable, we can request a shared-care arrangement with your GP; agreeing to shared care is at each practice's discretion, and we support that conversation with full clinical documentation.

How quickly can I be seen?

You will typically be offered a first appointment within two weeks of your enquiry, with the timescales for your report and any follow-up confirmed in writing when you book.

Do you prescribe medication?

Yes. Where medication is appropriate, prescribing is initiated and monitored by our clinicians during titration. Once you are stable, we arrange shared care with your GP wherever possible so ongoing prescriptions are convenient and affordable.

What does it cost?

Every fee is published before you book, and confirmed in writing before any appointment. There are no hidden extras — your quoted assessment fee includes the appointment, the clinical review and your full written report.
