About Us

PrivateADHD was founded by a team of doctors, each having worked for numerous years in the NHS and with a strong focus on the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Our team is dedicated to helping patients discover more about their behaviour and how their minds work.

Our founder pursued medicine after frustrations with ADHD care that he had witnessed first hand. His simple mission statement is to be at the forefront of solving the ADHD crisis in the UK. This has been his life long goal and mission. With this empowering outlook, PrivateADHD was formed to support and encourage others with ADHD to thrive.

ADHD Assessments

In the UK and abroad, there are thousands of people living with ADHD who are struggling to navigate life. Tasks that most people would find easy are hard and take more time and energy to complete. Without realising that their mind works differently than others.

Undiagnosis of ADHD can leave someone feeling confused and disheartened as they find things more difficult without a clear explanation as to why. That’s why an ADHD assessment is so valuable. Everybody has a right to know how their mind works, especially if it is more unique than most people.

At PrivateADHD, our main passion is to provide people with an easy way to get a professional ADHD diagnosis and the help they need. Receiving a diagnosis of ADHD can be life-changing, and the feelings of relief, acceptance, understanding, and empowerment are well worth it. This is why we always encourage anyone who suspects that they have ADHD to undergo an assessment.

Our ADHD doctors and expert-clinicians have all previously worked in the NHS, providing a high level of experience in the ADHD field.

We created Private ADHD as we believe delaying diagnosis is detrimental to the patient. Some waiting lists are over 3 years after being referred by the GP via the traditional route. The quicker an ADHD assessment is done, the quicker you can get treatment and be on track to fulfilling your potential.

ADHD affects more people than you think. And now the stigma attached to ADHD is changing. More people are becoming open about living with ADHD, and there is a new influx of people coming forward for an ADHD assessment later in life. This is especially the case for females, as females are thought to be better at masking their symptoms.

It’s estimated that 1 in 20 people in the UK have ADHD, and due to the rise in people requesting an ADHD assessment, the NHS is becoming slower with ADHD diagnosis.

Getting treatment for ADHD quickly is important to help with any adverse effects of this mental health disorder on studies or work, which is why we are proud to offer quick and thorough ADHD assessments online with our ADHD doctors.

I was already ADHD diagnosed back home and have recently moved to London. The NHS initially refused to provide medication and sessions for the psychologist has two years waiting list. I found this private clinic, and they were immediately very helpful, always responding promptly and assisting me with any issues. The online sessions also helped me navigate my daily life more better. Later on, we successfully established a shared care agreement with my GP, and the clinic did not charge extra for this service, unlike other clinics

I had a telephone consultation and found him to be calm, attentive, and reassuring throughout. Despite it being a remote appointment, he created a comfortable atmosphere and took the time to listen carefully to my concerns. His questions were clear and thoughtful, and he explained things in a way that was easy to understand. I felt heard and respected, and the consultation gave me confidence in the next steps of the process. A very positive experience overall.

A experience beyond imagination. The private ADHD assessment was thorough, and I received my ADHD diagnosis within days. The doctor discussed ADHD medication in detail, ensuring I made the best choice for my needs.

I have been suffering from a significant number of ADHD symptoms as a child, which worsened over the years. This convinced me to get assessed for ADHD privately, as the NHS waiting list is extremely long (up to 4 years for an assessment).I was referred to PrivateADHD and was seen by a psychiatrist, over a painless video call. I am thrilled to be referred to PrivateADHD because of how informative, articulate, and understanding during the ADHD consultation. For some

Very informative and professional the process was extremely quick thank you for helping

I just wish I had done it sooner! Amazing service!

I’m so grateful I found Private ADHD through a friend who told me about it and convinced me to get tested for ADHD. For the first time in a long time, I felt like someone actually listened and took the time to understand what I was going through. Walked me through the entire ADHD assessment and helped me make sense of everything I’d been feeling for years. I’ve been struggling ever since I can remember. My parents didn’t understand its hard for me to do certain things

It was an absolutely pleasure to be trained. He delivered the ADHD training sessions with exceptional skill and expertise. Facilitated the session with clarity, engagement, and a thorough analysis of the subject, responding to all questions with confidence and depth. I highly recommend the ADHD trainings: Diagnostic and Management. Both sessions offer a comprehensive understanding of gold-standard diagnostic tools and current treatment options, including pharmacological approaches. An invaluable resource for anyone working in mental health or related fields.

Extremely knowledgeable, patient and happy to explain everything and answer all my questions. Inspired my confidence, strongly recommend him for psychiatric evaluations.

The course was brilliantly structured, clear in its explanations, and highly interactive. The content was thoughtfully delivered, making complex topics easy to understand. It’s clear a lot of care went into designing it — professional, practical, and genuinely engaging throughout. Highly recommended!

He is so reliable and has great and fast communication. When I first moved to London, it was very difficult for me to get the ADHD prescription, I was taking in the states. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to take my medication here anymore until I found PrivateADHD. They made it so easy and stress-free to get my prescription and I cannot recommend them enough."

"Dr. Kooner is the best doctor both myself and my daughter have had the pleasure to meet and work with. He has transformed our lives in the way he listened to us and diagnosed both of us. He has an incredible bedside manner, very thoughtful, measured and never judging. He also has a very good aftercare service and you can see and feel he is genuinely caring for you and seeking the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Dr.Kooner"

"I've never been listened to since I've been able to go to the doctors myself for help... It wasn't until I seeked private help with Dr Kooner at PrivateADHD, where I was finally listened to and taken seriously. He went through everything in so much detail and diagnosed me with ADHD. We have regular catch ups to ensure the medication is working for me, which is great... Since being placed on the recommended medication by Dr Kooner, my life has changed for the better, everyone around me has seen such a positive outcome and change."

"Absolutely amazing company and people working for it, couldn’t recommend more. Life changing decision and one of the most positive experiences I have ever had. My doctor it’s so easy to talk to, so compassionate about what he does, it makes so easy to connect and feel so comfortable to open up and he totally honest. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Dr Kooner and all the team!"

Agnes Zwierk

"Dr Kooner actually spent ages discussing my adult son & related issues. It is easy to make appointments, Dr Kooner is always on time, lovely to speak to & the medication arrives pretty much within 48 hours. I am just so glad that we came across Dr Kooner & Private ADHD. Thank you Team Dr Kooner!"

"Very helpful doctor. His deep understanding of the unique challenges that come with ADHD is evident in every interaction and his support extends beyond just medical treatment - for eg. he routinely discusses and offers practical strategies to manage daily life. He takes the time to understand each patient’s individual needs and provides tailored advice that makes a real difference. For anyone seeking a comprehensive, well-rounded approach to ADHD treatment, I would highly recommend Dr. Kooner."

"After several difficulties with pharmacies previously due to the stock issues when I was under the GP temporarily I was so grateful that Private ADHD was able to see me within 48 hours and I had medication delivered to my house which was a pleasant surprise.

Cannot recommend enough, efficient, thorough and seamless experience.I felt the prices and process was explained clearly I understood how many I will need before getting transferred to the GP"

"Very professional. Helpful and took his time to explain everything. A positive appointment"

"I waited nearly 2 years for an NHS ADHD diagnosis; following the NHS appointment in April I was told the wait to start medication would be 8-10 months. In complete despair, I decided to seek private treatment- I contacted Dr Kooner and was able to book a diagnostic reassessment and initial medication titration appointment within 24 hours, and received my first prescription within 3 days. Having access to medication has been an absolute game changer for me and I am so thankful to Dr Kooner for this!"

"Had a consultation with Dr Pav. Cannot recommend highly enough, I had been struggling with symptoms that had been affecting my life for some time. I went to the GP and was told the waiting time was 3-5 years.Booking with privateadhd.co.uk was surprising easy. Once I chose my appointment and confirmed the booking I was sent a pre assessment questionnaire that took about 30 mins to complete, I filled this out with my partner.After this I received a phone call from the doctor and we confirmed the video call appointment for the very next day..."

"I had an exceptional experience with PrivateADHD for my ADHD diagnosis, and for anyone stuck on the lengthy public waitlist, I highly recommend taking the leap and seeking a private assessment through them...

From day one, PrivateADHD was incredibly responsive and supportive. Out of all the private clinics I reached out to, they stood out for their kindness and willingness to address any question or concern I had along the way. I’m genuinely grateful for the care they showed me, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to go through them..."

"I have been affected by ADHD symptoms all of my life and decided after family members had been diagnosed and treated with good results that I should try and get an assessment and see if I could benefit from treatment. I was assessed by Dr Kooner over a video chat and found him to be very thorough, informative, patient and helpful... I felt listened to and that I was given informed choice and that my views and opinion mattered. He didn’t rush me and I felt that the experience was safe and comfortable..."

"I cannot recommend this psychiatrist enough. They have helped me with many problems, providing exceptional support and care."

Meera Ravi

"I have been suffering from a significant number of ADHD symptoms as a child, which worsened over the years. This convinced me to get assessed for ADHD privately, as the NHS waiting list is extremely long (up to 4 years for an assessment).

I liked how he intensively explained what causes ADHD, how ADHD runs in families, and such. Finally, as someone who has ADHD, he completely understands the debilitating and crippling effects ADHD has had on me academically, socially, and mentally throughout the years."
