How we assess ADHD

A structured, NICE-standard diagnostic assessment, not a short chat and a questionnaire.

  • A structured DIVA-5 interview against every DSM-5 criterion
  • Your developmental history, childhood as well as adulthood, because ADHD does not begin at 30
  • Objective, computer-based testing of attention, impulsivity and activity
  • Standardised rating scales, with input from someone who knows you well where possible
  • Screening for mood, sleep, hormones and physical health, which overlap with ADHD and are routinely missed

How we treat ADHD

Diagnosis is the start, not the end. If you choose medication, we find the right one at the right dose, then hand you back.

  • A titration period, starting low and reviewing until your dose is right
  • Follow-up appointments with your clinician while things settle
  • Practical, non-medication support: routines, sleep and strategies that hold up
  • Treatment for what sits alongside it, such as anxiety or broken sleep
  • Shared care with your GP once you are stable, so the NHS takes over prescribing

Treatment fees

£199/month

Treatment is separate from the assessment and entirely your choice. Where medication is right for you, this covers prescribing, titration and review while your dose is settled. Once you are stable we aim to set up shared care so your own GP prescribes on the NHS.

Additional screening is available alongside any assessment, from £99 for sleep to £399 for addictive behaviour. Ask the team what would help, or see the full list on our pricing page.

What people say

Verified patients, in their own words.

★★★★★

I cannot thank Sanctum enough! The whole process was professionally carried out from my first enquiry to my diagnosis. The team were informative and guided myself and my partner in a sensitive and understanding manner throughout the whole process.

Audrey Eastwood
★★★★★

It took less than 30 days for a diagnosis, without this and the treatment received I have no idea where we would be now. I would highly recommend, all the staff are lovely and truly helped us. Thank you all so much.

Sally Brett
★★★★★

Sanctum healthcare have been exceptional in the service and care provided, they are professional, friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly understanding. They went above and beyond to ensure I felt heard, the diagnosis process was extremely thorough, and I was offered a clear treatment plan.

Our approach

The whole picture, not ADHD in isolation

Six areas are screened as standard, in every assessment, because what looks like one thing is so often driven by another. Physical health is one of them, and it is the part most clinics leave out: thyroid, energy, cardiovascular strain, sleep and, where it applies, the hormonal cycle. The brain is part of the body, and we assess it that way.

We don’t just give you the answer, we don’t just show you the working out, we educate you so that you are empowered to manage yourself in the longer term and aren’t reliant on services.

01
How you’re wiredThe core picture, assessed with DIVA-5, the international gold-standard structured interview for ADHD, plus objective cognitive testing.
02
SleepScreened every time. Poor sleep imitates ADHD closely enough to be mistaken for it, and treating the wrong thing costs you years.
03
Mood & emotionsAnxiety, low mood and emotional regulation, which overlap with ADHD and are routinely missed when only one condition is looked at.
04
Your body & hormonesThyroid, energy, cardiovascular strain, and where it applies the hormonal cycle. The brain is part of the body.
05
What you’ve been leaning onAlcohol, caffeine, work, gaming. Asked without judgement, because coping that became a habit is a common thread.
06
Support & life stageThe fit between what is being asked of you and what is holding you up.

Common questions

How quickly can I be seen in London?
Usually within a week or two. There is no waiting list to join and no GP referral needed, so you can book directly and be seen quickly at our Great Titchfield Street clinic.
Who will carry out my assessment?
Dr Asad Raffi, Consultant Psychiatrist and our Medical Director, with more than two decades of experience across the NHS and private practice.
How many appointments will I need?
One. Your adult ADHD assessment is a single appointment, which you can have online or in person at our Great Titchfield Street clinic. Your questionnaires are completed at home beforehand, so the appointment itself is spent on you rather than on paperwork.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly with us. We will keep your GP informed with your consent, and work alongside them for anything that comes afterwards.
Can my GP take over my treatment?
Usually, yes. Once your medication is settled we aim to set up shared care so your own GP prescribes on the NHS. Shared care depends on your GP agreeing to it, and we give them everything they need to say yes.
