Payment Plans

We understand that investing in private health care, and assessments, can seem expensive, but also be a priority.  We offer payment plans to help spread the cost of your investment, whilst still being able to provide a premium service for you.  Our Business Support Team will be able to discuss your options.

Pre-Assessment Consultation - ideally undertaken before any sessions or assessment pathway.
If you're not sure which service/assessment is best for you, you can book a one-off pre-assessment consultation appointment before proceeding with therapy or an assessment. This helps us to understand your challenges, and allows us to provide you with a robust way forward. There is no obligation to proceed to sessions, or with an assessment pathway after your consultation, and we will always advise you if we feel we are not the right fit for you.

Payment for the pre-assessment consultation will need to be made at the point of booking your appointment.  A link to our secure payment platform will be sent to you in your appointment confirmation email.

Post-diagnosis Sessions

Our professional view is that following a positive diagnosis of ADHD and/or ASD, support and understanding is almost always necessary.  We therefore recommend a series of 6 or more sessions with our clinicians to discuss everything in greater detail, and to access supportive suggestions and guidance.

As a guide, for a series of 6 sessions for a child and their family, the fees would be £900.  These would be delivered virtually, and provide you with strategies and guidance on managing any neurodiversity.  These sessions are available as a one-off or Pay As You Go (PAYG), however this is not recommended.

Private Healthcare

We do NOT work directly with private health insurance companies at the current time.  In our experience, ADHD in particular, is not normally covered at it's very definition is of a pre-existing condition.  If your insurance provider does cover any appointments/sessions, you will need to pay us and then claim any money back from your insurer.
