ADHD assessment & treatment
Diagnosis, and ongoing care that doesn’t leave you stranded
How ADHD treatment works here
Our detailed neurodevelopmental assessments lead to a clear diagnosis. Where medication is appropriate, treatment can be started and titrated by our specialists. Wherever possible we set up shared care with your NHS GP; if shared care isn’t available, ongoing prescribing — including controlled medication — is managed privately between our consultant paediatrician, family-medicine specialist Dr Bolat and a consultant psychiatrist, so your child’s treatment isn’t interrupted.
Our clinic
A calm, child-friendly clinic
Children are seen in calm, unhurried appointments at our clinic on Whitechapel Road — a few minutes from Aldgate East and Whitechapel stations, and around 5 minutes’ walk from The Royal London Hospital.
Safety & consent
Safeguarding, consent & joined-up care
Safeguarding, consent and joined-up care with your NHS GP are part of every children’s appointment.
The safety of every child comes first
All our clinicians are trained in paediatric safeguarding (child protection) to the level their role requires, hold enhanced DBS checks, and work to national safeguarding guidance and our own safeguarding policy. If we are ever concerned about a child’s safety, we follow our safeguarding procedures and local child-protection pathways.
Consent and who should attend
A parent or legal guardian with parental responsibility should attend with children under 16, and we ask for the child’s and parent’s ID at the first visit. Where a young person is judged able to understand and decide about their own care (Gillick competence), we involve them fully while encouraging parental support.
Chaperones and privacy
A chaperone is offered for any examination, at no charge, and your child’s dignity and privacy are respected throughout. We keep clear, confidential records.
Working with your NHS GP
With your consent, we share relevant information with your child’s NHS GP so their care stays joined up and safe. You can ask for a copy of any letter or result.
What we don’t do here
- We are not an emergency service. If your child is seriously unwell — struggling to breathe, unresponsive, having a fit, a stiff neck or a rash that does not fade under a glass — call 999 or go to the nearest A&E. The Royal London Hospital (about 5 minutes’ walk) has a paediatric emergency department.
- We are an outpatient clinic and do not provide hospital admission or inpatient care.
- We do not provide crisis or emergency mental-health care — our children’s mental health clinic is for planned assessments and reviews.
Being clear about our limits is part of keeping your child safe. If your child needs urgent or emergency care, please use 999, NHS 111 or A&E.
Fees
Clear, up-front pricing
Consultation and assessment fees are set out on our price list, and any tests or treatments are explained and priced clearly before you go ahead — no surprises. Some services are priced on enquiry; just ask the clinic team.
Good to know
Common questions
Still have a question? Our team can help you choose the right appointment.
What ages do you see?
Newborn to 18 — from baby checks to teenage health and mental-health care.
Do I need a referral?
No — you can book directly. With your consent we keep your child’s NHS GP informed.
Can everything be done in one place?
Yes — GP care, paediatrics, mental health, assessments, blood tests and more are all under one roof, so your child moves between them without new referrals or long waits.
Who should come to the appointment with my child?
A parent or legal guardian with parental responsibility should attend with children under 16. Young people who are able to make decisions about their own care (Gillick competence) are fully involved, and we encourage parental support.
What should I bring?
Please bring your child’s and your own ID for the first visit, plus any letters, test results or a list of current medicines. Our team will tell you if anything else is needed when you book.
Do you offer ADHD and autism assessments for children?
Yes — see child ADHD assessment (£1,600 with report), child autism assessment (£2,200 with report) and the combined assessment (£2,500). Each pathway starts with a £250 pre-assessment.
Can you arrange blood tests for children?
Yes — gentle blood tests with numbing cream for all ages, reviewed by a doctor. See children’s blood tests.
Can you send a letter or report to our NHS GP?
Yes — with your consent we share relevant information with your child’s NHS GP so care stays joined up, and you can ask for a copy of any letter or result.
What if my child is seriously unwell?
We are a private outpatient clinic, not an emergency department. If your child is seriously unwell, call 999 or go to A&E — The Royal London Hospital, about 5 minutes’ walk away, has a paediatric emergency department.
