Privateadhd.co.uk Reviews 29

I was really nervous about choosing an online provider and about some of the negative reviews left but I decided to go ahead with this company anyway as I really needed a quick assessment and prompt treatment to help with my symptoms.

I have to say, from start to finish, they have been great!

All communications are prompt, booking of all appointments are quick with no more than a few days wait for each one. This is from the initial assessment to the medication reviews for ordering more meds. The prescribers in the medication review appointments have also been great and answered all my questions! Prescriptions sent out to my home address the next day after the review!

What is particularly convenient is all of these appointments have been available outside of standard work hours (9-5) so I haven't had to take any time off work to attend these appointments (and they are all online) - something which is particularly helpful for me!

I am now on meds (one month in) and in the titration phase and WOW what a difference they have made! I honestly didn't think the difference would be so significant but I noticed the benefits immediately. I'm really glad I went down this route as I was sceptical for some time but it's honestly made a world of difference to me and made life feel so much easier!

Really easy company to work with for assessment and further support. Big shout out to Anna Ridgen who was so flexible, supportive and personable and really focussed on my needs and outcomes.

Unfortunately I can not give them negative stars. Found this company who, on their website, advise that they offer private ASD assessments for children 10 years plus. I contacted them to see if we could book an assessment. Received a rude response saying that it is 12 plus only and to not contact them. Admin team incrediblely rude, unable to advise on the practitioners. If they lie on their website who knows what the rest of their service is like

Quick turnaround, friendly service. Only downside were a couple of errors in my report but these were quickly rectified when pointed out

We had a fantastic service from start to end. I had many questions beforehand and every effort was made to answer them and get back to me in a timely manner. The assessment itself was carried out with empathy and understanding and Dr Devendra was very child focused with our son, which we felt was so valuable given he was nervous about the assessment.
All communication and the final report was at a high standard and we have been hugely grateful for all of the support from the Dr and his team. Thank you very much. We would highly recommend your services in the future.

I sought out an ADHD assessment. They were very quick to respond after my initial inquiry. They also found me an appointment very soon after that. The doctor that I spoke with during my consultation was very easy to talk to. They made me feel seen & understood. The report I received afterwards was very comprehensive. All in all, I'm very satisfied with my experience. 100% would recommend.

I decided to get a private ADHD assessment like so many others because I did not want to wait years. I found privateadhd.co.uk and was immediately sceptical—the cost for an assessment and subsequent assessments was a lot cheaper than some alternatives.

I investigated the company and a few of the clinicians, who were all real, established, and GMC approved. I asked for an appointment, and was told I'd be contacted soon to arrange one, likely in the next three days. About four or five had passed when I decided to chase them up. I got an appointment arranged the same day. They sent an invoice and a link, and I paid £590 for an assessment, cautiously using a credit card for Section 75 protection.

Once it was time for my assessment, it took around an hour, and I spoke to someone who was very assuring and made me feel comfortable to discuss the intimate aspects involved in an ADHD assessment. By the end, I was diagnosed, and within four days I received my written assessment and diagnosis.

I then paid £150 for a medication appointment, where we discussed using Elvanse. I was sent a prescription, and received the medication for £87.

There were a few times I had to contact the administration due to errors—incorrect addresses or incorrect passwords used for locked PDF files. But the response was always quick.

If you have the funds, I would recommend this website. But I want to emphasise that this is still very expensive, despite its relative affordability. I have spent £826 thus far, and will likely have to spend a further ~£470, until my dose is stable, and I have a shared care agreement with my GP.

GREAT! Very quick email reply regarding queries and booking your Assessment and medication meetings. Extremely helpful and understanding. The experience has been just as I had hoped it would be. I would recommend to my friends and family if needed.

Very quick response and helpful. Great to work with them and help our son.

I chose Private ADHD having made online investigations as to the best people to go to for an Autism assessment. They responded to my application swiftly and efficiently.
I completed the questionnaires they sent me and they responded promptly with suggested dates for face to face (online by video call) consultation. I asked for a weekend appointment if possible as I am at work all week. This they were able to do, for which I was very grateful.
I had consultations with Psychologist Anna Rigden and Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Nigel Tunstall. Anna Rigden in particular was very kind, encouraging, empathetic and a pleasure to work with. Nigel Tunstall was rather more combative but that was okay. Part of the process I suppose.
I have no hesitation in recommending Private ADHD for Autism and ADHD assessment. Indeed I plan to contact them again, this time for an ADHD assessment, for I have the traits.
Bit of 'housekeeping' - if you are put off by the price of the consultations Private ADHD give the option of paying in instalments, which is what I did. I have a modest job with the NHS and money is always an issue.

At first, I was worried about going through an online provider for an assessment and treatment, but I was reassured by how professional and supportive the process was. The team has been incredibly helpful and attentive, my doctor has really listened, and everything was tailored to me. I know have a clear treatment plan and finally feel understood. I’m so glad I gave it a chance — it’s made a huge difference.

My daughter recently had a private autism assessment with Cheltenham Oxford Psychiatrists, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. As a parent, the process can feel overwhelming and emotional, but it felt calm, supportive, and reassuring.
From the very first enquiry, communication was clear, appointments were easy to organise, and we always felt informed about what to expect. Most importantly, my daughter was treated with patience, and understanding.
The clinician had such a gentle, thoughtful approach and took the time to really get to know my daughter's challenges, strengths, personality, and unique way of seeing the world.
The assessment itself was thorough but not rushed and they explained everything to me in a way that was both clear and compassionate. As a mum, seeing that level of care made all the difference.
The final insights and results were invaluable and received in very good time.
I would recommend their service to any parent seeking an autism assessment for their child. It was an excellent experience and brought us so much reassurance.

Very helpful admin team and swift response.
The consultation when very smooth and Dr. Nigel is very thorough and professional.
I enjoyed my experience throughout and was really supported by the admin team.
The process is smooth and I appreciate how they respect the privacy

Prompt responses, I was offered an online appointment really quickly and have no complaints about the experience.
Some of the assement forms feel a little restrictive in responses - i.e. there's little room for a "in some cases but not all" where the "sometimes" option doesn't really feel appropriate, but it's not much of an issue. My informant also fedback that they didn't like the form - too much black and white with little room for nuance.

Overall positive, just a couple of points to raise.

From the start of filling in the form to enquire until the last email all the staff have been amazing. They are polite, take care of your needs and communication is efficient, quick responses.

I had an outstanding experience with Cheltenham Oxford Psychiatrists for my private ADHD and autism assessment. From the very first contact through to the final stages of the process, every member of the team was professional, compassionate, and genuinely supportive.

The whole experience was handled with care and understanding. Everything was clearly explained, appointments were well organised, and I always felt listened to and respected. The clinicians were incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and approachable, which made what could have been an overwhelming process feel comfortable and reassuring.

I felt taken seriously at every step, and the assessment was carried out with real attention to detail and empathy. The support and guidance I received have made a meaningful difference, and I am extremely grateful for the kindness and expertise shown throughout.

I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking ADHD or autism assessment. A truly excellent service from start to finish.

The whole team including admin staff and the Psychiatrist who assessed me from start to finish made things so straight forward and comfortable for me. I felt at ease and really listened to. It feels amazing to finally have the answers as to why I have struggled with so many aspects of my life for so long. The whole process has been so quick and easy and I couldn't recommend private ADHD and Autism UK enough.

From the very beginning, the team have been absolutely brilliant. Every time I emailed with a question, I received a prompt and helpful reply. The whole process felt organised, supportive and straightforward.

I was very nervous before my assessment with Dr Devendra, but he has such a warm and calm manner that he immediately put me at ease. I felt listened to and understood throughout.

Receiving my diagnosis brought an overwhelming sense of relief. After years of feeling “broken” and not knowing how to fix things, finally having an explanation felt like a huge weight had been lifted. Knowing there is a reason for the struggles I’ve experienced has made such a difference.

I understand that a private assessment isn’t within everyone’s budget, but if you are able to afford it, I would highly recommend this route. The process was quick, smooth and far easier than I expected. I only wish I had known about this option sooner.

Dr Andreea has been absolutely outstanding. I was struggling with ADHD and she helped me find the right medication for me. She is incredibly kind, accomodating and precise. She should be given a raised just a phenomenal doctor. Thank you so much
