✨ What to Expect

A screening consultation is a confidential, non-judgmental conversation with one of our experienced clinicians — designed to help you explore whether you might be neurodivergent and whether a formal assessment would be beneficial.

We take time to understand your lived experiences, from childhood patterns to current challenges in work, relationships, or daily life. Using our clinical expertise and evidence-based screening frameworks, we'll provide clear guidance on whether a full assessment is appropriate and what that might involve.

Whether you're exploring autism, ADHD, or simply seeking to understand yourself better, this consultation offers clarity, validation, and a pathway forward — with no pressure, just understanding.

🤔 Who Should Consider a Screening Consultation?

This consultation is ideal if you've been questioning whether you might be neurodivergent:

You've always felt different but can't quite explain why

You struggle with social situations, small talk, or reading between the lines

You experience burnout, overwhelm, or exhaustion from daily life

You mask heavily at work or in relationships, feeling like you're playing a role

You've noticed patterns in your relationships, career, or sensory experiences

Someone suggested you might be autistic or have ADHD, and it resonated

You're seeking self-understanding after years of feeling misunderstood

You want professional guidance before committing to a full assessment

If any of these resonate, a screening consultation can help you understand your experiences and explore what support might be right for you.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the screening consultation take?

The consultation typically lasts 60-90 minutes, giving us enough time to explore your experiences thoroughly and provide clear guidance on your next steps.

Can the consultation be done online?

Yes, we offer both in-person and online consultations. Many adults find online appointments convenient, especially if they're juggling work or other commitments.

Do I need a GP referral?

No, you can book directly with us. We're a private provider offering fast access without the need for a referral.

What should I prepare for the consultation?

We'll send you a pre-consultation questionnaire. It's helpful to think about your childhood, any patterns you've noticed in relationships or work, and what prompted you to seek an assessment now.

Will I get a diagnosis from this consultation?

This is a screening consultation, not a full diagnostic assessment. However, we'll provide clear guidance on whether a formal assessment is appropriate and what that might involve.

What happens if a full assessment isn't needed?

That's perfectly fine! We'll provide reassurance, practical strategies, and signpost you to other support if appropriate. The consultation is valuable either way.

How much does the consultation cost?

Our screening consultations start from £195. If you proceed to a full assessment, this cost is credited against the assessment fee.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

We typically have appointments available within 1-2 weeks, though urgent slots may be available sooner.

What if I'm not sure whether to book?

Book a free 15-minute discovery call first. We can discuss your concerns and help you decide if a screening consultation is right for you.

Will my employer need to know?

Only if you choose to share. Everything discussed in your consultation is confidential. We can provide documentation for workplace adjustments if you decide to disclose.
