Consultant-led ADHD assessments, built on 20 years of healthcare expertise.
Assessment UK was founded by the team behind Athona, drawing on over 20 years’ experience in healthcare recruitment, placing psychiatrists, clinicians, and mental health professionals across the NHS and private sector.
Through two decades working closely with NHS mental health services, we saw a growing problem: long waiting lists for ADHD assessment were leaving individuals without answers for years and adding to the pressure on already-stretched NHS mental health resources.
Assessment UK was created in response. Not just as a business, but out of a genuine desire to help people struggling with their mental health to get the answers and support they need, without the wait.
Our assessments are remote, and every one is consultant-led. We take real pride in the quality and thoroughness of our assessments, because we understand what genuinely good clinical practice looks like.
Why Assessment UK
We exist to give every patient the clarity they deserve, and the support they need to move forward. In everything we do, we believe in:
Clarity
Trust
Progress
No pressure.
Structured Assessment
Our Clinical Approach
Every assessment follows a structured, evidence-based process, led throughout by a Consultant Psychiatrist. In every ADHD assessment we include:
- Validated diagnostic tools, in line with recognised frameworks
- Assessment led by a consultant psychiatrist – not a junior assessor
- A full written report, regardless of outcome
The answers you need, whether you receive a diagnosis of ADHD, or confirmation that it isn’t ADHD. Your assessment isn’t the end of something, it’s the beginning. Whatever the outcome, we will give you the support to know what comes next.

Assessments with a difference
- Consultant-led, every time. Every assessment is led by a consultant psychiatrist.
- Recognised diagnostic process. We use the same validated tools used in NHS pathways.
- Reports that are actually useful. Thorough assessment. Thorough report.
- No pressure. If we don’t think an assessment is right for you, we’ll say so.
