ADHD isn’t just about being distracted. It’s a neurodevelopmental condition that can shape how you think, feel, work and relate to others – often in powerful and sometimes frustrating ways.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why can’t I just do the thing?” or “What’s wrong with me?”, you’re not alone. For many adults, understanding their mind through an ADHD diagnosis is the first step toward real, lasting progress.

Here’s how to get assessed in London – and what to expect from the process.


Why choose a private ADHD assessment?

Let’s be honest: waiting lists are long, and support is often patchy. A private ADHD assessment gives you:

  • Faster answers – appointments in days, not years.
  • Expert clarity – assessments by consultant psychiatrists who specialise in ADHD.
  • A clear plan forward – with tailored recommendations, not one-size-fits-all advice.

It’s not just about getting a diagnosis. It’s about knowing your brain – and learning to work with it.


Where to get an ADHD diagnosis in London

At Augmentive, we offer private ADHD assessments for adults – online or in-person – led by expert consultant psychiatrists.

We offer in-person assessments at Leeds Place Medical Centre, just minutes from Marble Arch. It’s easy to reach from Paddington, Mayfair, Marylebone, Soho and across Central London.

Want to stay home? You can also complete your entire assessment online.

The treatment rooms are a 2-minute walk from Grosvenor Square

What happens during an ADHD assessment?

We keep the process clear and actionable, with no guesswork.

Here’s what’s involved:

  1. Pre-assessment forms – including input from someone who knows you well (like a partner or family member).
  2. In-depth psychiatric evaluation – a 90–120 minute session with your specialist.
  3. Detailed outcome report – your diagnosis and next steps, clearly outlined.

All assessments are conducted by UK consultant psychiatrists on the specialist register, with deep NHS and private practice experience.


How much does it cost?

Prices start from £675 for a full ADHD assessment.

Depending on your needs, ongoing treatment options may include:

  • Personalised medication plans
  • Tailored therapy or ADHD coaching
