Not sure where to start?
There’s a lot to take in, so we’ve broken it down into clear steps – jump straight to the section that’s most helpful for you right now.
If these sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Many adults who seek an ADHD assessment have spent years wondering why everyday life seems harder for them than it appears to be for other people.
Losing Focus
Getting Started
Finishing Tasks
Forgetting Things
Losing Track of Time
Staying Organised
Feeling Restless
Acting on Impulse
Managing Emotions
These experiences do not necessarily mean that you have ADHD, but many adults seeking an assessment describe similar patterns.
Not sure whether ADHD could explain what you’re experiencing?
What happens during a private adult ADHD assessment?
Our private adult ADHD assessment follows a clear, structured process from first enquiry through to report and next steps.
Initial enquiry
Complete a short form or call the team. We will respond during working hours. There are no lengthy intake questionnaires before you have spoken to someone.
Pre-assessment screening
Once booked, you will complete a small number of questionnaires before your appointment. These help your clinician understand your symptoms, childhood history and how ADHD may be affecting you now.
ADHD assessment appointment
Meet with a specialist ADHD clinician in a remote video appointment. We will explore your experiences, patterns and history using structured clinical assessment tools, including DIVA-5, a clinical interview developed specifically for assessing ADHD in adults.
ADHD report and feedback
Your report is completed soon after your assessment. Before it is issued, a second clinician independently reviews the assessment findings and diagnostic outcome. If ADHD is not identified, a follow-up appointment is included to explain the findings and discuss any appropriate next steps. If you receive an ADHD diagnosis, your clinician will discuss the treatment and support options available to you.
ADHD treatment and ongoing support
If you receive an ADHD diagnosis and treatment is clinically appropriate, we can discuss medication, titration and longer-term support. We will explain shared care from the outset, including what it means and why some GP practices may choose not to accept a shared care arrangement.
Not everyone who is assessed receives an ADHD diagnosis. If ADHD is not identified, your clinician will explain the findings clearly and discuss any appropriate next steps or onward support.
Meet the team behind your ADHD assessment

Why choose HG Mind Works?
Every ADHD assessment is independently reviewed by a second clinician.
Before your report is issued, a second qualified clinician independently reviews the assessment findings and diagnostic decision. This review is included as standard and provides an additional level of clinical oversight before your outcome is finalised.
You always know who you're speaking to.
Your assessing clinician is named when you book. They conduct your assessment, prepare your report and lead your feedback appointment, so you know who is responsible for your care throughout the assessment process. If you continue into treatment, you will also know who your prescriber is.
Assessment, treatment and ongoing care under one roof.
Where your assessment identifies ADHD and medication is clinically appropriate, our qualified prescribers can support you through treatment and titration. We can work towards shared care with your GP where they agree to accept it, or continue private prescribing where needed. We will explain the options and costs clearly before you decide how to proceed.
Established clinical standards from day one.
Our ADHD assessment pathway operates within HG Mind Works’ established clinical governance framework.
We are CQC registered and approved to supply through the HealthTrust Europe framework. Every ADHD assessment outcome is independently reviewed by a second clinician before the final report is issued.
Our assessment, treatment and prescribing pathways operate within the same clinical governance framework as the wider HG Mind Works service.
ADHD treatment & ongoing support after diagnosis.
An ADHD diagnosis is only the start of understanding what support may be right for you.
Medication is not appropriate for everyone. Where it is clinically suitable, ADHD medication can form part of a wider treatment plan, with careful prescribing, titration and ongoing review.
ADHD prescribing and titration
Where your assessment identifies ADHD and medication is clinically appropriate, our qualified prescribers can support you through treatment.
Before medication is prescribed, we complete the appropriate baseline health checks and arrange an ECG where clinically indicated.
Medication is usually started at a low dose and adjusted gradually through titration. We review how you are responding, monitor blood pressure, pulse and any side effects, and adjust treatment where clinically appropriate.
Titration takes time to do properly. We will not rush the process.
Shared care and ongoing reviews
Once your medication is stable, we can approach your GP to request a shared care arrangement where appropriate.
Shared care is always at the discretion of your GP practice. If they do not accept the arrangement, we can continue private prescribing and ongoing reviews where clinically appropriate.
We will explain how shared care works, what happens if your GP declines and any ongoing costs before you decide how to proceed.
Ongoing medication reviews are provided in line with the requirements of your treatment plan and relevant clinical guidance.
Treatment is always based on your individual clinical needs.
Can I access HG Mind Works through NHS Right to Choose?
Not currently.
HG Mind Works does not currently provide NHS-funded ADHD assessments through Right to Choose.
We are working towards being able to offer this pathway in future. If you are looking specifically for an NHS-funded Right to Choose assessment, speak to the team for the latest information.
Our private adult ADHD assessment service is available now for people who do not want to wait for an NHS-funded pathway.
Private adult ADHD assessment FAQs
How quickly can I book a private ADHD assessment?
Assessment appointments are often available within days, depending on current clinician availability.
Your final report is issued within 10 working days of your assessment, following independent clinical review. We will confirm current appointment availability before you book.
What if I’m not sure whether I have ADHD or I’ve been masking for years?
You do not need to be certain that you have ADHD before seeking an assessment.
Many adults develop ways of compensating for difficulties over time, particularly at work or in structured environments. This can make ADHD less obvious from the outside, even when day-to-day life feels difficult or exhausting.
Your assessment looks at your internal experience, developmental history and patterns across different areas of life. The aim is not to confirm a particular diagnosis, but to understand what may be contributing to the difficulties you are experiencing.
If ADHD is identified, we will explain the outcome and your options. If it is not, you will still receive a clear explanation of the findings and appropriate recommendations.
What happens after my ADHD assessment?
You will receive a written report setting out the assessment findings, diagnostic outcome and clinical recommendations.
Your outcome is independently reviewed before the final report is issued. A feedback appointment is included so that you can discuss the findings and ask questions.
If ADHD is diagnosed and treatment is clinically appropriate, we will explain the treatment options available. If ADHD is not identified, we will discuss appropriate next steps and signposting.
Will my GP accept shared care after a private ADHD diagnosis?
Shared care is always at the discretion of your GP practice, so it cannot be guaranteed.
Once your medication is stable, we can request shared care and provide your GP with the relevant clinical information. If your GP declines, we can continue private prescribing and ongoing specialist care.
We will explain the costs and options clearly before treatment begins.
Will the NHS recognise a private ADHD diagnosis?
A private ADHD diagnosis can be clinically valid where the assessment has been carried out by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional with specialist training and expertise in ADHD, using a comprehensive assessment process in line with NICE guidance.
However, NHS services and individual GP practices may have their own requirements before relying on a private diagnosis for prescribing or shared care. A private diagnosis does not automatically mean that your GP will take over prescribing.
At HG Mind Works, our assessments follow NICE guidance and include independent clinical validation. If you choose treatment with us, we can request shared care once your medication is stable, but acceptance remains at your GP practice’s discretion
