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 a great experience with PrivateADHD. Angel made the booking process quick and easy, and I got my assessment and diagnosis on the same day. Angel was incredibly helpful and kind—she really put me at ease and answered all of my questions. Dr Pav was also brilliant: calm, professional, and easy to talk to. I felt genuinely listened to throughout. Would definitely recommend!

I am very pleased with my experience with the clinic. I had gone through another assessment a few months prior with a private psychiatrist and felt very diminished. They did not listened to what I had to say and assumed things based on a couple sentence about my life. I found private adhd through an ad and thought to give it a try. And I'm so happy I did. The lady I spoke to, Angel, is lovely and so helpful. She was extremely available even though I felt like messaging her a bit too...

"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"

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."

"Dr. Kooner is the best! 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."

"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."
