What you are paying for

What drives the price

Three things move the price most: the clinician's seniority (a consultant psychiatrist versus a specialist nurse), whether the assessment is in person or remote, and what is bundled in — the written report, a GP-ready letter, and any follow-up. Comparing on the headline number alone is misleading; compare what is included.

Buyer beware

Watch for hidden costs

Some providers advertise a low headline price, then charge separately for the report, the follow-up, or medication titration afterwards. That can turn a “budget” assessment into one of the more expensive options overall. ThinkBetter shows indicative pricing from matched clinics up front so the full cost is clear before you commit.

Good questions

Private ADHD assessment cost: FAQ

How much is a private ADHD assessment?
A private ADHD assessment in the UK typically costs between around £500 and £2,500. The price depends on the clinician, the format (remote or in person), and whether the report, GP letter and any follow-up are included. Matched clinics show their price before you book.
Why do private ADHD assessment prices vary so much?
Price reflects clinician seniority, whether the assessment is remote or in person, and what is bundled in — report, GP-ready letter, and follow-up. A higher headline price sometimes includes things a cheaper one charges for later, so compare what is included, not just the number.
Are there hidden costs in a private ADHD assessment?
There can be. Some providers quote a low headline price, then charge separately for the report, follow-up, or titration. ThinkBetter shows indicative pricing from matched clinics up front, so you can compare the full cost before committing to anything.
Is a cheaper ADHD assessment worse?
Not necessarily — but the cheapest option can be a false economy if the report is thin and a GP later will not act on it. Look for a NICE-compliant, GP-ready report from a CQC-registered clinic working to recognised quality standards, not just the lowest price.
Does a private ADHD assessment include a GP letter?
Often, but not always — it depends on the clinic and package. Matched clinics produce NICE-compliant, GP-ready reports; whether a GP-ready letter is bundled is shown in the clinic pricing before you book, so check what is included.
