If you are weighing up a private ADHD assessment, cost is usually one of the first things you want to understand. Prices in the UK vary a great deal, and what is included is not always obvious. This 2026 price guide explains the typical cost of a private ADHD assessment, what affects the price, the extra costs to watch for, and how to compare providers so you get genuine value rather than just the lowest number.
How much does a private ADHD assessment cost in the UK?
Across the UK, private adult ADHD assessments commonly cost from several hundred pounds up to well over a thousand, with many providers sitting somewhere between roughly £500 and £2,500 depending on the clinic. The price reflects factors such as the type of clinician, the length of the appointment, whether the assessment is online or face to face, and how much follow-up and reporting is included. Child assessments are often more involved and tend to cost more than adult assessments.
What affects the price?
- Clinician type and seniority, for example a consultant psychiatrist.
- Appointment length and format, with online video assessments often more efficient than in-person visits.
- What is included, such as the written report, a GP letter, questionnaires and a follow-up discussion.
- Adult versus child, as child assessments usually require more input and time.
What should be included in the fee?
Before booking anywhere, check exactly what the price covers. A good assessment fee should normally include the clinical appointment, the standardised questionnaires, and a clear written report explaining the outcome and recommendations. Ask whether a GP letter and a follow-up explanation are included, and whether there are any admin fees. Transparency here is a good sign of a trustworthy provider.
Extra costs to be aware of
The assessment fee is rarely the only cost if you go on to have treatment. Medication, if it is appropriate for you, usually requires a separate titration process to find the right option and dose under medical supervision, and there are ongoing review and prescription costs. Medication itself is normally paid for at the pharmacy and is not included in assessment or appointment fees. Some people also arrange a shared-care agreement so a GP can continue prescribing. Always ask a provider to spell out these ongoing costs so there are no surprises.
How ADHD Diagnosis UK compares
Our pricing is deliberately clear and sits at the lower end of the market. Current fees are an adult ADHD assessment from £189, a child ADHD assessment from £499, CBT for ADHD from £95 per session, an ADHD titration appointment from £199, and a repeat prescription from £60 once you are stable. A shared-care arrangement with your GP can also be set up where appropriate. You can spread the cost of your assessment with Clearpay, and there are no hidden charges. See the full pricing page for the most up-to-date fees.
At £189 for an adult assessment, this is well below the typical UK private range, while still being carried out by GMC-registered doctors and following NICE clinical standards. You can book online here.
Is a cheaper assessment worse?
Not necessarily, but price alone should never be the deciding factor for healthcare. A lower price is only good value if the assessment is clinically sound, transparent and carried out by appropriately qualified professionals. Look for clear information about clinician registration, the diagnostic standards used, what the report contains, and what happens afterwards. A responsible provider will be open about what it can and cannot do, and will not promise a guaranteed diagnosis.
