Private ADHD assessments for adults; online or in-clinic with specialist psychiatrists
If you’ve ever wondered whether ADHD could explain your challenges with focus, organisation or restlessness, you’re not alone. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, London, we provide private ADHD assessments for adults across the UK, available online or in person — with experienced Consultant Psychiatrists who specialise in adult ADHD.
Recognising the symptoms of adult ADHD
ADHD affects everyone differently, but many adults describe a lifelong pattern of feeling “scattered”, easily distracted or constantly busy but unproductive. You don’t need to have all the symptoms and they can look different from childhood ADHD.
Common signs of adult ADHD include:
Attention and focus
Finding it hard to concentrate or finish tasks
Forgetting appointments, deadlines or details
Losing items like keys, phones or paperwork
Organisation and time management
Struggling to plan or prioritise tasks
Feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities
Frequently running late or missing commitments
Impulsivity
Speaking or acting before thinking
Interrupting others in conversation
Making quick decisions that you later regret
Hyperactivity and restlessness
Feeling constantly “on the go” or unable to relax
Fidgeting or moving around during meetings
Needing constant stimulation
Emotional regulation
Frustration or mood swings that seem disproportionate
Difficulty managing stress or transitions
Feeling underconfident despite strong abilities
If these sound familiar, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have ADHD, but it may be worth exploring further with a specialist.
How the ADHD assessment works
We’ve made the process simple, discreet and supportive from start to finish.
1. Book your assessment
Get started by calling us on +442031462300, or reaching out via our website. You can choose a convenient time for your online or Chelsea-based appointment.
If you prefer, you can also book online *with selected doctors here.
2. Complete your questionnaires and pay
Before your appointment, we’ll send you a few forms to complete about your symptoms, background and medical history. These help your psychiatrist prepare thoroughly so more time is spent discussing things during your appointment.
Payment will be requested prior to your appointment, which you can make online via our easy to use bookings system.
3. Attend your consultation
You’ll have a 60-90 minute session with one of our Consultant Psychiatrists who specialises in adult ADHD. They’ll explore your experiences, challenges and strengths to build a complete picture.
4. Receive your report and recommendations
After your assessment, you’ll receive a detailed written report within around 7–10 working days. If ADHD is diagnosed, your psychiatrist will outline treatment options including medication, coaching or therapy.

If you wish to continue treatment with us, we can arrange follow-up appointments, medication reviews or shared-care agreements with your GP.
