FAQs

A few of our frequently asked questions about our ADHD and Autism Therapies

How do I know which therapy is right for me or my family member?

FAQ arrow

During our initial consultation, we'll assess your specific needs and goals to recommend the most appropriate therapy approach. Many clients benefit from a combination of approaches tailored to their unique situation.

Is a 12-week program really necessary?

FAQ arrow

While the program runs for 12 weeks, we split it into two manageable 6-session blocks. This structure provides the consistency needed for lasting change, especially for neurodivergent individuals who often benefit from routine and structured support.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

FAQ arrow

Currently, all our sessions are delivered via secure video call. This allows us to provide flexible, high-quality support without travel, which works particularly well for clients with sensory sensitivities or busy schedules.

Will these therapies work without medication?

FAQ arrow

Our therapeutic approaches can be effective both as standalone treatments and as complements to medication. We work with your existing medical providers to ensure coordinated care.

How are parents and family members involved?

FAQ arrow

Depending on the therapy type and client's age, family involvement varies. For children and teens, parents are often integral to the therapy process. For adults, family participation is optional but encouraged when beneficial.

By far the best experience so far, within 2 days I was given support and answers that i've been waiting to hear as some who was put on the waiting list for 2 years. Oliver has been great at not only listening to my concerns but also educating me on ADHD, making me feel seen and understood, they put me on a plan immediately to help me out and i'm very happy to say i've picked Private ADHD!!!

I recently relocated from the USA and needed to find a new doctor for my ADHD treatment. After doing some research, I booked an appointment with this clinic. To my pleasant surprise, I was seen the very next day via video consultation. The convenience of being able to consult with a knowledgeable doctor so quickly was incredible. The doctor was not only highly knowledgeable but also extremely understanding and compassionate. As a woman with ADHD, I often feel overlooked or misunderstood

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

I was already diagnosed in my home country and I moved to London recently. The NHS initially refused to consult me or provide medication, moreover the waiting list for the online sessions with psychologist are two years. I found this private clinic, and they were immediately very helpful, always responding and assisting me with any issues. The online sessions also helped me navigate my daily life better. Later on, we successfully established a shared care agreement with my GP...

"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.

"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."
