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.

Our Reviews

I’m so grateful I found Dr. Pav and 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. Dr. Pav 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 is simply the Best Money I have spent. I got the reports sent to me very quickly. Many many thanks Dr Pavan Kooner, Mercedez, and PrivateADHD. Highly Recommended"

Dr Kooner is so good, we already had a diagnosis for our 14 year old daughter but urgently needed to start treatment. Dr Kooner saw us within one week and we had medication delivered within a couple of days. The service is excellent and we feel extremely lucky to have found him. Our daughter has started treatment now and after just 3 weeks we have noticed positive improvements.

"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."

I have been under consultation with Private ADHD for about 2 months now. I have found that it has helped me in coping with my ADHD symptoms and have benefited from the one on one consultations with my assigned Doctor. It has helped me so much that I can talk to someone who can understand how I feel and give sound advice on how to cope with my anxieties and concerns. and prescribe medications to help achieve this. To have waited for any sort of diagnosis through the NHS would have taken years...

I tried Concerta 38mg as part of my ADHD treatment, but unfortunately, it wasn’t the right fit for me. Despite not being able to continue the full course of treatment due to financial reasons, Dr. Pav was incredibly understanding and supportive. He advised me free of charge and kindly arranged to transfer my care agreement to my GP at no additional cost. If I decide to return to a private clinic in the future to continue managing my ADHD, I would 100% choose to work with Dr. Pav again

The customer service team were fantastic. Responded quickly and never skipped any important information I had. They always answered any questions I had. Oliver was amazing in the assessment. He let me rant on a little bit and I never felt like I couldn't speak. He was always willing to sit and listen to my answers, and if there were topics I didn't want to answer he made sure to move on. I never felt forced. I can't say thank you 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"

"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!"

"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."
