Consultation Fees

Consultation fees differ for standard and ADHD assessments and treatments. The ADHD assessment and treatment regime involves more complex pre-assessment and post-assessment (titration) activities.

All consultation fees must be paid by BACS bank transfer at least 24-hours in advance of each appointment.

For patients requiring on-going care (e.g. ADHD titrations, or on-going regular review / therapy sessions) patients are advised to block-book and purchase a course of sessions.
