Assessed by us, diagnosed by a registered partner
Your Lead Assessor carries out your screening, history and structured interviews, and writes a detailed readiness report. Your clinical partner is a CQC-registered consultant psychiatrist or clinic. They review your assessment, meet you for a diagnostic consultation and make the formal diagnostic decision.
Your partner clinician makes their own independent decision. That can include not giving a diagnosis, or recommending further assessment. How it works

Report & feedback
Report + feedback sessionYou receive our assessment report, your partner's diagnostic report and a feedback session where everything is explained in plain language, including recommendations and where to go next.
An informant is helpful, not essential
The DIVA-5 benefits from input from someone who knew you in childhood – usually a parent – but for ADHD this isn't a strict requirement. If nobody is available, mention it on your initial call and we'll talk through what the assessment would involve without one.
Is it right for you?
Who this assessment is for
Designed for you if…
- You're an adult (18+) who would like a formal ADHD assessment
- You've been on an NHS waiting list, or want to avoid joining one
- You want a report you can share with your GP, employer or university
- You want a thorough assessment and a clear profile of your strengths and challenges
It may not be the right fit if…
- You're under 18 – we assess adults only for now (children's assessments are planned for 2027)
- You're looking for medication, titration or shared care – we don't prescribe, but your partner clinician or GP can advise
- You're in crisis or need urgent mental health support
- You're looking for ongoing therapy rather than assessment
Not sure? That's what the free initial call is for, and there's no obligation to continue afterwards.
An alternative to the NHS wait
In Kent and Medway, routine NHS Right to Choose ADHD assessments have been put on hold after the local budget ran out. They're not expected to restart before April 2027, and then there's a backlog. A self-funded assessment means you don't have to wait for NHS funding to restart. Read the full Right to Choose update
