Adult Assessments/Treatment

We offer 2 unique pathways for patients from ages 26 to 63. See our separate Young Adult Pathways for those 18 to 25.

Uniquely Adapted

We specialise in people with ADHD and/or Autism, our assessments are uniquely adapted to be neurodiverse friendly.

  • Fit around work. Appointments from Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm
  • Well paced. Assessment are held across 2 or more appointments on different days
  • Time to think. Gap of 1 to 5 weeks (your choice) before assessment is concluded, allowing time to reflect
  • Collaborative. If you have a partner, we encourage them to be involved
  • Visual. We recognise some people process things better when written
  • Flexible. We also offer Zoom

We proudly follow NICE and Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) guidelines.
