ADHD Psychiatrist

PrivateADHD was founded by a team of ADHD specialist psychiatrists, 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.

Along with the other members of our team, his journey led to him becoming an NHS-recognised ADHD Psychiatrist.

Expertise In
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 psychiatrists 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.

Do I Have ADHD?
Start Your Journey Today

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 specialised ADHD psychiatrist doctors.

I had an assessment with private ADHD, I received Professional services and short waiting time. I was given lots of information. They were very patient. I had a deadline to meet at short notice and my assessment was ready even before the deadline. The professional that did my assessment worked out of working hours to get my assessment done on time.

I am extremely satisfied with the level of care offered by this clinic. The team of specialists demonstrates not only high professional expertise but also empathy and understanding, which makes every visit a pleasant experience. Thanks to Angel's efficient organization, my son was diagnosed and started treatment within just a week. The diagnostic and treatment process was thoroughly explained, and the approach to the patient is individualized and fully tailored to their needs. Thanks...

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 - Dr Pav, over a painless video call. I am thrilled to be referred to PrivateADHD because of how informative, articulate, and understanding Dr Pav was during the ADHD consultation. For some

Dr. Pav was absolutely incredible—knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly understanding of the ADHD experience. The clinic made me feel seen and supported from the moment I walked in, with a calm atmosphere and a team that genuinely cares. I finally feel like I have a clear path forward, thanks to the thorough and personalized care I received.

I had the chance to speak with Dr. Pav while meeting him and his wife during a vacation abroad. It was remarkable to hear about the high level of clinical expertise, empathy, and support that he brings to his ADHD practice. As he described his assessment process, it became clear that he has a deep understanding of how to make what is often a stressful and overwhelming experience feel manageable and reassuring for his patients.

I've known I had ADHD for years. When I used to work in a college, my Head of College told me, and that was quite significant because I assumed he was quite knowledgeable. Fast forward a few years, I discovered self-development, therapy, and spent 10 years deep in that. A few years later, I thought, let’s get assessed. I never thought I needed to do this, especially as someone who has achieved financial success. But this time, I considered it because I realized I needed to slow down...

I feel like they went above and beyond to make sure I had the right care. Oliver Trafford was amazing and reassured me that everything was going to be okay. He answered one of my questions. Angel was an absolute delight by helping me and keeping in contact, and listening to me at any time that I messaged. I thank you both very much! I highly recommend if you’re looking for an ADHD diagnose."

"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."

"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."

"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!"
