Consultation: £195
What to Expect
A screening consultation is a friendly, informal conversation with one of our experienced clinicians — designed to help you understand whether your child would benefit from a full neurodevelopmental assessment.
We take time to listen to your concerns, explore your child's developmental history, and discuss their current strengths and challenges. Using our clinical expertise and recognised screening frameworks, we'll provide clear guidance on the most appropriate next steps.
Whether you're exploring autism, ADHD, or other neurodevelopmental differences, this consultation gives you the clarity and confidence to move forward — with no pressure, just support.
Who May Benefit
This consultation is ideal if you're wondering whether your child's experiences warrant further assessment:
You've noticed differences in how your child communicates or interacts socially
Teachers have raised concerns about attention, focus, or behaviour at school
Your child seems anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling with everyday tasks
You're wondering if a neurodevelopmental difference might explain their challenges
You want professional guidance before committing to a full assessment
You're looking for reassurance and clarity on whether further steps are needed
If any of these feel familiar, an initial consultation can help you understand what's happening and what to do next.
