Every provider checked, with what its own pages say about services, delivery and NHS Right to Choose, is in the mental health and ADHD provider directory, listed A–Z.
Should you go private or use the NHS?
NHS route
NHS mental health services are free via GP referral. You can access talking therapies (NHS Talking Therapies) for anxiety and depression, and specialist psychiatric services for conditions like ADHD, bipolar, and psychosis. NHS ADHD assessment waiting lists are typically 2–4 years.
Typical wait: 2–4 years (ADHD); 6–18 weeks (talking therapies)
Private route
Same-day or next-day appointments. Choose your provider. No referral needed in most cases.
Typical wait: 24 hours – 1 week
When private mental health services makes sense
Long NHS ADHD waiting lists
NHS ADHD assessment waits are long in most areas. Private assessment fees are listed on this page as each provider prints them. NHS Right to Choose can provide an NHS-funded assessment by an approved provider via GP referral.
You need a specific therapy type
NHS talking therapies primarily offer CBT. If you need EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, couples therapy, or specialist trauma work, private gives you more choice.
You want to choose your therapist
Private therapy lets you select a specific therapist based on specialisation, approach, gender, or language. NHS services assign based on availability.
You need urgent support
Private psychiatrists can often see you within days. For crisis support, always contact NHS 111, Samaritans (116 123), or go to A&E.
What to check before booking
- ✓Ask your GP about NHS Right to Choose for ADHD — it may be NHS-funded
- ✓Check if your employer offers an EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) with free therapy sessions
- ✓Verify the therapist is registered with BACP, UKCP, or BPS
- ✓For psychiatrists, check GMC registration and specialist credentials
- ✓Ask about sliding scale or reduced-rate sessions if cost is a barrier
Questions to ask a provider
- ?What does the assessment include and how long does it take?
- ?Will I receive a written report I can share with my GP?
- ?How many therapy sessions are typically recommended?
- ?What is your cancellation policy?
- ?Can you prescribe medication, or is that a separate service?

How these fees are collected
Providers come from a hand-compiled seed and from every active CQC location whose name, provider name or website names ADHD or psychiatry. CQC registration is matched by website hostname only. Each provider's own pages are read with a plain fetch. Services, video and in-person delivery, and NHS Right to Choose are recorded only where a line on the provider's own page states them, and that line is stored. Fees are read in three shapes only — a table row with one priced cell, a single 'Label: £X' line, and a price-only line inside a container holding exactly one — with the label printed before the figure and stored verbatim. Each figure is keyed by service, age group, clinician and stated length; nothing is assigned a default. Labels naming a medicine or medication management, autism or combined assessments, reports, deposits, plans, packages or subscriptions are refused.
A fee is shown only where it could be tied to one named product on the provider’s own page. Lists are alphabetical. We do not accept payment for inclusion.
