About Our Child ADHD Assessments
Psych2Gether provides comprehensive, evidence-based Child ADHD assessments delivered by specialist consultant psychiatrists — all online and aligned with NHS & NICE guidelines. We use internationally validated tools including the Conners Rating Scales, SDQ (Strengths & Difficulties Questionnaire), SNAP-IV, and clinical interview. Below are the most frequently asked questions to help you feel fully informed and confident every step of the way.
What services does Psych2Gether offer for children with possible ADHD?▼
We provide child ADHD assessments, diagnostic reports, medication management, psychological therapy referrals, coaching, and school-liaison support — all delivered online by specialist consultant psychiatrists.
What is your assessment process?▼
Our process includes: a free 15-minute consultation, pre-assessment questionnaires sent to parents and teachers, a one-to-one video diagnostic assessment with a consultant psychiatrist, a confidential diagnostic report within 2 weeks, and a free follow-up session with a senior clinician.
Do you follow national guidelines?▼
Yes. Our assessments follow NHS and NICE guidance and use validated questionnaires and best-practice approaches throughout.
What ages do you assess?▼
We assess children from age 6 years onwards.
Do boys and girls show ADHD differently?▼
Yes — boys often present with more hyperactivity and externalising behaviour, while girls more commonly show inattentive symptoms, which can be under-recognised. Our assessments are sensitive to these differences across all presentations.
How long does the assessment take from start to finish?▼
Typical timelines: initial free consultation (15 minutes), questionnaires sent immediately, diagnostic appointment within a few weeks depending on availability, and the diagnostic report delivered within 2 weeks of assessment.
How do I book a consultation?▼
Book online via our website or call/email us to arrange a free 15-minute consultation. No GP referral is required.
What information do I need to provide?▼
Basic medical and developmental history, completed parent and (if possible) teacher questionnaires, and any previous school or medical reports you would like to share to support the assessment.
Do you send the report to my GP or school?▼
With your consent, we send the confidential report to your GP. We can also provide documentation for schools and support school-liaison on request to help implement recommendations consistently.
Will my child be prescribed medication?▼
Medication is offered only when clinically appropriate. If prescribed, a specialist will discuss all options, initiate treatment, and provide ongoing monitoring and review appointments.
Can you support parents and teachers?▼
Yes. We provide practical strategies, written resources, coaching referrals, and help liaising with schools to implement recommendations consistently at home and in the classroom.
How confidential is the information I share?▼
All information is treated confidentially in line with data-protection regulations. We only share reports with others if you give explicit consent, or if there is a safeguarding concern requiring us to act in your child's best interests.
What happens after diagnosis?▼
We offer a free follow-up with a senior clinician, coordinate medication initiation and reviews if needed, refer to psychological therapies or coaching, and provide school-liaison and written resources to support your child's ongoing development.
Do you accept NHS referrals or private patients only?▼
We operate as a private service. Contact us if you need a report for NHS or school processes — we can work collaboratively with both.
How much does an assessment cost?▼
Fees vary by service. Please visit our Fees & Payments page or contact us directly for current pricing and a full breakdown of what is included.
What if I'm worried about my child's safety or wellbeing?▼
If there is an immediate safety concern, please contact emergency services (999) or your local crisis team. For urgent clinical advice, contact your GP or our service directly and we will advise you on the most appropriate next steps.
