ADHD Direct Reviews 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a great experience with ADHD Direct. The whole assessment process was professional, friendly, and well organised. The clinician made me feel comfortable, listened carefully to my concerns, and explained everything clearly.

Compared to many other private ADHD services in the UK, ADHD Direct is much more affordable while still providing an excellent standard of care. The communication was excellent, and I never felt rushed during my assessment.

I would highly recommend ADHD Direct to anyone looking for an ADHD assessment or treatment. They made what felt like a stressful process much easier, and I am very grateful for their support.

From making the initial appointment through to receiving my son’s ADHD diagnosis and starting medication, the whole process with ADHD Direct has been easy, straightforward, and stress-free.

Communication has been excellent throughout. Every question or query was responded to quickly, clearly, and accurately, which made us feel supported every step of the way.

Nicola was absolutely lovely. She made both my son and me feel comfortable and relaxed during the initial assessment, taking the time to listen and explain everything in a reassuring and professional way.

ADHD Direct has made what could have been an overwhelming experience into a very positive one. We are so grateful for the support they’ve given our family and for helping my son get the treatment he needs.

I would highly recommend ADHD Direct to anyone seeking an ADHD assessment or support.

Thank you so much for everything.

I booked with ADHD direct for my child as NHS wait lists seem to be getting longer and longer. The experience from booking the initial appointment to the day of his assessment has been simple they have been fabulous at communicating making sure all forms and paperwork are filled in before appt and very informative. The clinician who took the appt was fabulous. She was able to put my child at ease after a rocky start to his assessment. Cannot falt communication after appt either with all information and next steps emailed with in a couple of days.

I have recently had an assessment and the communication was excellent from start to finish. I did find the process overwhelming, however that is more about me than the company. I was regularly sent reminder emails for forms, which is helpful as I can be forgetful. I chose a face to face consultation and chose not to pick my consultant, and left it to availability, however it is good that you can choose who does the assessment. I found myself in a rabbit hole trying to decide who to pick, so left it to availability instead. They also offer online consultations however, I preferred to attend in person. The process and potential outcomes were explained to me and I was kept on track throughout as I have a tendency to go off subject. Following the assessment I was sent a letter promptly confirming my diagnosis and advised a report would be sent to my GP. The cost for medication was explained to me and I have made an appointment with my GP to discuss potential shared care, however I was also made aware that this is down to the GP. As someone who overthinks everything, I feel the whole process was really positive.

Although I found the form filling slightly onerous, I could tell that all the information gathering had been utilised effectively at the assessment. With only 2 hours to work with, my clinician had already familiarised herself well with my case and gave me the time and space to just be myself in the face to face assessment. She was insightful, understanding and very supportive. It was a huge relief after a very tense period of anticipation. I felt completely in safe hands.

I have had a perfect experience with ADHD Direct. I liked that I could read bios and chose my assessor and there was a wide choice of appointment slots. Everything went very smoothly with great communication throughout, and the assessor was lovely. I received both my prescription and my report 9 days after assessment. It's so easy to book review appointments too and all the FAQS and guides are very clear. And of course the added bonus is the very competitive pricing. For example, today I discovered my colleague pays £189 a month. I was £80 including the prescription cost. She's planning to switch her care to ADHD Direct not surprisingly! The medication reviews are free once treatment is stabilised. It really is a fantastic and very fair service

Mental health care as it should be - prompt, professional, and empathetic! Hope it stays this way.

My friend recommended ADHD direct to me who was also recommended by their friend. Now I can see why, the service has been excellent and I'm very happy with the results.

Some of the highlights:

- Speedy service: After getting assessed I recieved the medication I needed in under two week. All communication was exceptionally timely as well.
- Clear communication: Next steps were clearly explained during my assessment. Plenty of information was provided through email to understand what came next.
- People that care: It was inspiring to learn that the doctor assessing me was so highly accomplished and also had ADHD. I learned that a lot of the staff also have links to ADHD which shows they really must care.
- Given time to explain: I was given plenty of time to provide a detailed account of my experience both in writing and during assessment.
- Detailed Assessment: I have a condition that if untreated can present symptoms similar to ADHD. I was concerned that this might cause an Issue with diganosis, it certainly didn't. The assessment detailed that it became apparent the other condition couldn't account for all symptoms. I initially had a lot of questions to ask by the end of the assessment most had already been covered

This was my experience of getting a diagnosis with ADHD later in life. I can't thank them enough and the medication has been life changing.

My experience with ADHD Direct has been fantastic. From the moment I booked my evaluation to receiving my diagnosis and eventually starting medication, I’ve felt attentive, caring, and well-informed. At 39, I’ve always been told by doctors that I had chronic anxiety and depression episodes. They never offered alternatives that suited my needs or suggested further investigation. I took the initiative to get a further diagnosis because I knew something wasn’t right and finally got the answers I’d been waiting for. ADHD Direct has provided me with a clear treatment plan and explained everything I can do and all possible medications. I’ve been on ADHD medication for about a week, and it has been life-changing so far. I hope it continues to be so, but I’m also reassured by their support for the coming months.

Took a booking on Monday. Promptly changed my booking without asking me to a time I could not make, via email. As soon as I found out, told them to wit they reverted to my orginal time! which 48 hrs after them cancelling was no longer anvialable as I was back in work. Was then met by the - all enquiries will be replied to within 48 hours and receptionist who claimed they have no idea what’s going on about anything I can only relay messages with a 48 hour turnaround.

I suspect, if you have a problem with medication, this will also be the case 48 hour turnaround. For folk with ADHD who would use their service be warned they will test you and it will be a stressful experience.

The process from start to finish re assessment was really quick. The clinician I felt was very professional and knowledgeable. I was put at ease and I felt the assessment was thorough. I’d also different aspects and next steps explained to me. The discussion around medication was good and I was given time to ask questions and given rationales I could understand. I also want to mention the reception staff who dealt quickly and sensitively about a query I had. Thank you

Although I cannot comment on ongoing communication/prescriptions or care yet, I just had to shout out about Val who I just had my transfer of care appointment with.
Val is so knowledgable and understanding, she is the first person since diagnosis to say to me ‘this is not your fault’ and that statement alone had me in tears, and not in a bad way. She fully understands the adhd brain and how this affects people. She recommended coping strategies in a non ‘condescending’ way and talked through every step of what my titration journey would look like, including letting me voice any preferences in terms of medication, whilst ensuring she gave clear information about each option and what she would recommend. She made next steps clear and took away anxiety I had about ‘what happens next’ I’m so glad I decided to explore privately after being constantly fobbed off elsewhere after my diagnosis and being stuck in never ending waiting lists. Thank you

I completed a Transfer of Care with ADHD Direct after being privately diagnosed elsewhere, as the titration waiting list with my original provider was anywhere from 20–36 weeks (or even longer).

I decided to start titration with ADHD Direct and honestly couldn’t be happier with how smooth and fast the whole process has been. I paid for my appointment on 18 February and had the appointment on 24 February. Shortly after, I received both the consent form and medication request form. I chose to have my prescription sent to their partnered private pharmacy, and by the very next day (25/02) I had already received the payment link. My medication is due to be dispatched and received by the end of the week.

The entire experience has been incredibly straightforward, efficient, and reassuring. For anyone feeling anxious or overwhelmed by the long and gruelling wait times with other providers, I genuinely couldn’t recommend ADHD Direct enough.

We got a recommendation to get our son (17 at the time) specifically assessed by Gordon Brown.
When we went on the website - there were no appointments left with Gordon Brown - not even a year ahead.
The way I tick - I left it until beginning of this year when our son asked me to help him get an assessment. I was pleased to see that Gordon Brown offered appointments again and we booked an appointment.
All the way through we feel well informed and prepared. Several times I rang for reassurance and clarification and had comments which all were answered friendly and helpful.
The assessment was held in a way that our son got a lot out of it itself besides the confirmation for an ADHD diagnose.
The report (received few days after the diagnosis) is exceptionally detailed and looks at all aspects, a great support also for school and support worker who support us with our son.
We could not have asked for more and look forward to working together with ADHD direct on our sons path to manage his ADHD together.

The administrative team are remarkably helpful and made everything feel very personally tailored, even though it is commonplace to them I'm sure. The expertise of the clinician was evident but never overplayed, and the assessment and treatment recommendation carefully tailored to multimorbidity. I was given time and space, and felt listened to and understood.

About a year ago, I realised that many of the difficulties I have struggled with throughout my life could be explained by ADHD. After spending almost a year thinking about it, going back and forth, and finding it extremely hard to make a decision, I finally decided to go ahead with an assessment.

There is a huge number of providers offering ADHD assessments, which made the decision even harder. After a lot of consideration, I chose ADHD Direct, and I can honestly say that I am incredibly satisfied with my experience.

From the moment I booked, I never once felt unsure about what was happening or what the next step would be. The communication was excellent throughout, and I felt very well informed and well prepared for the assessment, even though my nerves were understandably all over the place.

The assessment itself was a very positive experience. I chose the clinician intuitively, and I could not have been happier with that decision. The doctor was absolutely wonderful: kind, empathetic, and incredibly understanding. Even though I struggled a lot with my emotions during the assessment, she made sure that I felt comfortable and supported the entire time, which is something I genuinely could not have imagined beforehand.

Immediately after the assessment, we discussed the possible next steps and agreed to try medication. Just one day after my assessment, the medication process was initiated. Three days later, I received my prescription and was able to collect my medication. Four days after the assessment, I took my first tablet, and I also received my full report, which was sent directly to my GP at the same time.

Over the past few days, I have received several follow-up emails explaining everything clearly and outlining what happens next. Even the emails are designed in a way that is easy to understand and easy to follow, which is incredibly important, as people with ADHD can struggle to read and process long or complicated messages.

I am genuinely very happy and extremely satisfied that I chose ADHD Direct. The service was recommended repeatedly in various Facebook groups, and I am very glad that I listened. I would wholeheartedly recommend ADHD Direct to anyone considering an ADHD assessment.

I had booked an online assessment for adhd for 28th December 2025 and all I can say it was clear from start to finish what was going to happen. By end of my virtual assessment I was giving a diagnosis for combined Adhd and a week later received my medication and 1 day after receiving the medication I received an in depth assessment diagnosis report which was also sent to my doctor.

1st teen now a year post ADHD diagnosis, still well supported with follow-ups. Process was efficient, well communicated and tolerant of his adhd-style of sporadic interaction! Teen daughter has undergone assessment in the last month. Female nurse immediately clicked with daughter, conversation was freeflowing, didn’t linger on the irrelevant and dug into areas that needed clarification. It was a positive experience. She felt heard.

My assessment was genuinely exceptional. While the assessment itself was thorough and professional, the real difference was the understanding and encouragement shown during the follow-up. It’s obvious this is a service that truly cares about long-term patient outcomes, not just delivering a diagnosis. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ADHD Direct.

I cannot recommend this company enough. They made everything easy for me to get my diagnosis and medication sorted. Amazing people who go above and beyond !!!!
