Sooner or later your child will ask themselves, "why am I different?". Not having that answer can be distressing, confusing, and affect wellbeing. The main reason any parent should be considering this for their child is to have that answer for them. It is not about "what will my child get?", it should be "how will my child feel?" After having supported thousands of children, the difference of having an answer to their internal question of "why am I different?" can be lifechanging. 

Have you really managed though? Given that you are reading this now, you are clearly curious. We have helped people from the age of 3 right up to 93. It is never too late to find out why you find some things easy and other things challenging. If you are awake at night reading every book, listening to every podcast, following Autistic/ADHD creators and resonating with them, then you clearly need or want answers.

Perhaps you have spoken to everyone who will give you a listening ear and they have deterred you from "getting a label". This is your life, your mind, your wellbeing and we want to empower you to get the answers you deserve.

We specialise in very anxious adults who are extremely nervous and likely need a lot of handholding to get through the process. At the other side, seeing the weight of pressure of people's shoulders makes absolutely everything we do worthwhile.

Yes. PDA is a profile under the diagnostic umbrella of Autism. There is no seperate PDA assessment per se, but it can certainly be factored into the assessment process and is at no extra cost or as an additional add-on.

Absolutely! What we pride ourselves on, is making the process as calm and stress free as possible. The vast majority of our adult clients are women over the age of 25. We understand that so many are terrified to come forward, are afraid of being invalidated, and we can offer maximum hand-holding and comfort. We never under estimate the massive step you are taking and we will show the upmost care and respect. We find when people feel safe, the process is so much easier. We have over a century of experience between us and we promise you are in good hands.

For children, schools will be involved in the process. As we follow all the same procedures as the NHS and the HSE, even using the same platforms, it isn't an issue. 

The school will be involved in the process under the Conners-4 assessment process. 

Even if your child manages well in school, or presents differently at home, we will not stop the assessment. We are fully aware that many kids actually like school and manage well. It doesn't make them any less Neurodivergent.

There is a huge myth out in the world that schools don't accept private assessments. Often we find that schools can say "we accept your child is Neurodivergent, but still feel they manage well and don't need additional support".

This is often hard for anxious parents to hear. Then via social media, many will say their child's assessment wasn't accepted whereas in reality, they didn't obtain additional support they felt their child needed.

Absolutely. We understand selecting the right diagnostic can be a tricky decision so feel free to book a Complimentary 15 minute Consultation Call - you can arrange a telephone or video call consultation, whichever is best for you.

*These calls are for those who are very sure in their decision but just need a little clarification before placing a deposit. We understand people are at their wits end, at burn out, and struggling. We are here to help. If you are totally unsure, we recommend a full screening call which can be booked on this page.

Any person aged 3 or over can undergo an assessment provided they are deemed suitable for an assessment at that time. If you, or your child is not suitable for an assessment at the initial screening, we will refund your deposit. If you are concerned about suitability, talk to us.

Assessments are done by a multi-disciplinary clinical team in line with NICE guidelines. All clinicians are fully accredited and recognised by the NHS and HSE.
