ADHD/ADD Diagnosis in London

ADHD Consultancy is a fully independent virtual clinic founded by Dr. Helen Read.

Bridging the Gap in ADHD/ADD Diagnosis and Treatment

ADHD Consultancy aims to provide the most affordable ADHD/ADD diagnosis and treatment service in the United Kingdom.

Unfortunately, the NHS is overstretched and under-resourced.  Many people face waits of many months, or even years, to be seen by their local service, assuming that such a local service exists.

Doctors and psychiatrists generally receive little, if any, training in adult ADHD/ADD. As a result, there are many misunderstandings about the different ways that ADHD can present itself in adults and children, especially in terms of high functioning presentations. People with lifelong difficulties can be refused the diagnosis and treatment they need, even by specialist NHS ADHD teams.

Our promise

An affordable, high-quality service

Many private practices are prohibitively expensive, so we aim to offer an affordable high-quality service.While ADHD Consultancy’s main focus is ADHD/ADD diagnosis and treatment, our comprehensive assessment also looks at other associated or comorbid conditions.

Our multiaxial assessment will highlight these, and their impact on your functioning and well-being.Dr Read is also a trained psychotherapist, specialising in Cognitive Analytic Therapy, and her psychodynamic and cognitive understanding and strategies really help in the journey of self-understanding, and formulating a treatment plan that will actually work!

"Thank you Dr Read - my diagnosis has saved my life. I have carried a lot of shame around for years, so it has been a huge relief to make sense of things and finally arrive here. I did not feel rushed during assessment and it was compassionate, informed and thorough. Now I am in the process of trying medication. My GP agreed to “shared care” - which is fantastic. Would certainly recommend this service."

"I'm really glad I booked with the consultancy after being recommended to them - the wait times for NHS assessment were/are just outrageous!! I was seen within a few short months and throughout the process I felt supported and heard. Dr Read provided me with the insight and support I needed. Very grateful for this service!"

"Doctor Read was recommended to me by my GP, she is so approachable, (I never thought a psychiatrist could be so nice! ) compassionate and experienced in the field. It’s a very complex / emotional issue, so much more than the more simple, stereotypical, out of touch disorder a lot of people view it as! Plus, it can affect women quite differently. Doctor Read knows all about it! She put me at ease from the very beginning and continues to assist me whenever needed. I definitely feel supported and would recommended."
