Online ADHD Assessment UK

Can I get an ADHD assessment online?

Yes. ADHD Active delivers online ADHD assessment for adults aged 16–60 and children aged 6–16. A secure video consultation lets your clinician explore your symptoms, personal history and day-to-day functioning in detail, while keeping the assessment accessible from home.

An online appointment is not a shortcut or an automatic diagnosis. It follows the same structured clinical process as any appropriate assessment, and your clinician will discuss any limitations or additional information needed.

The benefits of a remote appointment

• Attend from a familiar, private space
• No travel to a clinic or time away for a waiting room
• Available to adults and children across the UK
• Secure video appointment with a specialist clinician
• Structured questionnaires completed online beforehand
• Written report and GP letter after the assessment

   Your clinician explores symptoms, childhood, health, education, work and daily functioning in a structured interview.

4. 4

   Receive the outcome

   The diagnostic outcome is explained at the end of the appointment, including the evidence considered.

5. 5

   Plan your next step

   Your report follows within 21 days. If ADHD is diagnosed, we discuss treatment, coaching and follow-up options.

Prepare for your video assessment

Choose a quiet, private space and allow enough time without interruptions. Have examples of your experiences ready, particularly from childhood, and gather school reports or information from someone who knows you well. A parent or carer should attend a child's appointment. You can find more detail on our ADHD assessment process page.
