Finding clarity starts here.

From getting an appointment, all the way through to a confirmed diagnosis: we’re here to make assessments for ADHD easier. Here’s what to expect when starting your diagnosis journey with us.

  • Step 1

    Take our 5-minute pre-assessment.

    Clock Icon

    Tell us about you, your health, and how you feel. This gives us a brief picture of your symptoms and an idea of whether a video consultation might help you. If we don’t think the consultation will be worth your time, you won't pay anything.

  • Step 2

    Book your preferred assessment slot.

    Clock Icon

    Choose a date and time from our calendar for your 2-hour video call with your ADHD clinician and pay your assessment fee.

  • Step 3

    We’ll verify your ID and NHS record.

    Clock Icon

    Before your video appointment, our clinician will review your NHS record, and we’ll verify your ID. This helps us make recommendations that are safe for you. We can usually do these steps without you having to do anything (other than give us your consent).

  • Step 4

    Prepare for your assessment.

    Clock Icon

    To get the most out of your video assessment, it can help to make notes beforehand. Think about how symptoms affect you now, and what impact they had at school and during your childhood.

  • Step 5

    Have your video assessment.

    Clock Icon

    You’ll have your assessment online over a video call with our clinician. It can last for up to 2 hours, and you’ll discuss your symptoms and how these have affected you over the course of your life.

  • Step 6

    Get a decision on your diagnosis.

    Clock Icon

    In most cases you'll get a decision on whether you meet the diagnostic criteria at the end of your assessment.

  • Step 7

    Get your personalised report (for free).

    Clock Icon

    Download your detailed diagnostic report from your Focused account within 15 working days.

How does it work?

How does it work?

It all starts with the pre-assessment. It’s a 5-minute series of questions you can answer online, and helps us to know if a further consultation with our ADHD clinician is going to be worth your time (and £289 fee).

After completing this part, you’ll then be able to book your preferred slot for your assessment call with our clinician, and you’ll pay your assessment fee.

Our clinician will then review your info, to make sure an online assessment is suitable for you. (If on deeper inspection they feel like it isn’t right for you, we’ll refund your assessment fee and provide you with info on where you might be able to get the right support.)

Then, it’s time for your 2 hour video call.

At your consultation, our ADHD clinician will talk about your feelings and symptoms with you, ask you some questions, and discuss your medical history.

At the end of your consultation, our clinician will make a decision on your diagnosis, and put together a report based on your discussion.
