Adult ADHD assessment

A full diagnostic assessment for adults using the DIVA-5, the same structured interview used in NHS ADHD services. Every assessment is independently reviewed by an HCPC-registered psychologist, and you receive a co-signed written report and a feedback session.

What's included

Everything in one fixed fee

  • Free 15-minute initial call by phone, video or WhatsApp
  • Pre-assessment questionnaires, completed online at your own pace
  • DIVA-5 diagnostic interview covering childhood and adult traits

  • Comprehensive written report, co-signed and suitable for your GP, employer or education provider

Two clinicians, not one

Your assessor carries out your screening, history and live diagnostic interview. Your independent psychologist is a fully qualified, HCPC-registered Clinical or Educational Psychologist. They review your full file, check it against diagnostic criteria and co-sign your final report.

Every diagnosis is independently verified before it reaches you. How it works

Step by step

How it works

  1. 1

    Free initial call

    15 minutes · Free

    A short phone, video or WhatsApp call to talk through what you're looking for, check the assessment is suitable and answer your questions. Nothing is booked or paid for until you decide to go ahead.

  2. 2

    Pre-assessment forms

    At your own pace

    Secure online questionnaires covering your history and current experiences. Complete them at your own pace – there's no time limit.

  3. 3

    DIVA-5 interview

    Approx. 1.5–2 hours · By video

    A structured interview with your assessor covering ADHD traits in childhood and adulthood, and how they affect different areas of your life.

  4. 4

    Independent review

    Built in as standard

    An HCPC-registered Clinical or Educational Psychologist, working independently of your sessions, reviews your full file against diagnostic criteria.

  5. 5

    Report & feedback

    Report + feedback session

    You receive your co-signed written report and a feedback session where everything is explained in plain language, including recommendations and where to go next.

An informant is helpful, not essential

The DIVA-5 benefits from input from someone who knew you in childhood – usually a parent – but for ADHD this isn't a strict requirement. If nobody is available, mention it on your initial call and we'll talk through what the assessment would involve without one.

Is it right for you?

Who this assessment is for

Designed for you if…

  • You're an adult (18+) seeking a formal ADHD diagnosis
  • You've been on an NHS waiting list, or want to avoid joining one
  • You want a report you can share with your GP, employer or university
  • You want a clear, independently verified diagnosis

It may not be the right fit if…

  • You're under 18 – we assess adults only for now (children's ADHD assessments start in early 2027)
  • You're looking for medication, titration or shared care – we provide diagnosis only
  • You're in crisis or need urgent mental health support
  • You're looking for ongoing therapy rather than assessment

Not sure? That's what the free initial call is for, and there's no obligation to continue afterwards.

An alternative to the NHS wait

In Kent and Medway, routine NHS Right to Choose ADHD assessments have been put on hold after the local budget ran out. They're not expected to restart before April 2027, and then there's a backlog. A self-funded assessment gives you a route to diagnosis on your own timeline. Read the full Right to Choose update
