About ADHD Compare
An independent comparison platform. Not affiliated with any clinic. Built to make the UK ADHD assessment landscape easier to navigate.
Who we are
ADHD Compare is an independent comparison platform helping people across the UK find the right ADHD assessment. We are not affiliated with any clinic and no provider pays for placement or ranking.
We are not a healthcare provider. We do not conduct assessments, prescribe medication, or give medical advice. We are a research and comparison tool — the same kind of independent service you would expect from a price comparison site, but focused specifically on ADHD assessment in the UK.
Why we built it
Navigating the UK ADHD assessment landscape is confusing. Pricing is hidden, Right to Choose is poorly understood, and NHS waiting times are measured in years. We built this platform to put all the information in one place — free and independent.
When we started researching ADHD assessments, we found the same problems repeatedly: clinics with no visible pricing, referral schemes that GPs did not know about, and no easy way to compare providers across regions. We spent the time researching it — so you do not have to.
If you are unsure where to start, our Right to Choose guide explains how to access a free NHS-funded assessment. Our cost guide breaks down what private assessments actually include.
How we work
We research every clinic listed on our platform. Data is sourced from clinic websites, CQC records, and direct submissions. We verify Right to Choose status against the ADHD UK provider list. Pricing is indicative and should always be confirmed with the clinic directly before booking.
Clinic data is reviewed regularly. If you spot something that is out of date or incorrect, please let us know and we will update it.
Our principles
Independent
No clinic pays for placement, higher ranking, or preferential display. Every listing is treated equally.
Transparent
We explain our methodology. Data sources are documented. We show what we know and are honest about what we do not.
Free
There is no charge to users. We do not require registration, collect payment details, or run advertising.
Updated
Clinic data is reviewed regularly. We cross-reference CQC records, provider websites, and the ADHD UK provider list.
How we calculate transparency scores
Our Transparency Score rates how much verified, publicly available information exists about each clinic. It is not a quality rating or endorsement — it measures openness and verifiability.
All information is verified from public sources and updated regularly. Clinics can improve their score by providing more information — contact us to update your listing.
What's the difference between a clinic and a coach?
Clinics listed on ADHD Compare provide clinical ADHD assessments and diagnoses, typically led by psychiatrists or specialist nurses. Coaches provide ongoing support for managing ADHD in daily life but do not diagnose or prescribe medication. Both play important roles in ADHD support, but they serve different purposes.
